Cayden Wallace didn’t want to be outdone by Brady Slavens so he went perfect, too

Arkansas’ bats haven’t even truly come alive and yet they continue hitting the ball just fine in their 3-1 start to the year.

Arkansas baseball started strong in Texas at the Round Rock Classic on Friday, dispatching Indiana, 5-2.

The Razorbacks banged out nine hits and walked another four times to chase Hoosiers starter John-Biagio Modugno after five innings. After knocking in four runs against him, the Diamond Hogs tacked on an insurance run in the seventh.

Leading the way were Arkansas’ usual suspects. Cayden Wallace had a perfect day at the plate. Robert Moore knocked in two runs with two hits. Brady Slavens reached twice and Michael Turner tripled.

In the meantime, starter Connor Noland and reliver Kole Ramage struck out 16 Indiana batters en route to the relatively easy victory.

The Hogs are back at it Saturday against No. 6 Stanford. In the meantime, these were the hitters of the game.
