Sticks Of The Game: Hitting Streaks Continue for Stovall, Turner, Lanzilli

Three of Arkansas’ most reliable bats keep adding games to their impressive hit streaks.

When it comes to hitting the baseball, Arkansas did not get off to the start that they had hoped.

However, with Southeastern Conference play opening up this weekend, it seems that the bats are coming alive at the right time.

The No. 3 Arkansas Razorbacks defeated Grambling, 14-1 on Tuesday by only grabbing eight hits all the while taking advantage of four Tiger errors. The headlining swing came off the bat of Braydon Webb, who crushed a grand slam over the right field wall that rattled off of the newly-opened development center to place the run-rule into effect. 

The home run was important for the team, but more so for Webb, who finally slugged his first hit of the season after 23 previous at-bats.

The other story from the game, is the extension of hit streaks for three of Arkansas’ key bats… Peyton Stovall, Michael Turner, and Chris Lanzilli.

Lanzilli extended his streak to a team-best nine games by adding two more to his season total. Peyton Stovall led the team in hits Tuesday with three, which added to his streak of eight games. Finally, Turner added a home run to his season total, extending his streak to seven games.
