Baseball Recap Video (with Head Coach Dave Van Horn and Andy Wilkins)
The Arkansas Razorback baseball team started off the game Friday down by one for the first three innings — but they didn’t let that get them down. Arkansas defeated Troy 10 to 1 Friday evening.
The scoring was spread out with Andy Wilkins, James McCann and Brett Eibner having a home run apiece and Zack Cox and Tim Carver having two hits apiece. TJ Forrest got the win over Troy out of the bullpen.
Arkansas is now 3-1 on the season while Troy drops to 3-2.
In the first inning Troy was about to get three hits including an RBI single courtesy of Chase Whitley to give Troy a 1-0 lead in the 1st inning. Troy kept the lead for three innings until Andy Wilkins, in the fourth, soloed a homer to left center to even the score. That was home run number 29 of Wilkin’s career. Later in the inning McCann hit a two-run shot to bring himself and Cox home- giving Arkansas a 3-1 lead.
In the sixth inning Brett Eibner hit his first home run of the season- a two-run shot into the Arkansas bullpen.
