Sticks of the Game: Turner, Bohrofen Show Off The Clutch Genes

Michael Turner and Jace Bohrofen had the biggest impact on the Razorback offense in Saturday’s victories over Southeastern Louisiana.

The No. 3 Arkansas Razorbacks were out for revenge following a tough loss in game one of the weekend series with Southeastern Louisiana. The Lions scored all seven of their runs in the 6th inning of Friday’s opener, and Arkansas was not able to keep up.

Saturday, the bats came to life, and the Razorbacks earned the doubleheader sweep of Southeastern Louisiana, outscoring the Lions, 16-3.

There were a handful of candidates that could have been chosen for today’s “sticks of the game,” but, when really breaking it down, Michael Turner and Jace Bohrofen had the biggest impact on the Razorback offense in Saturday’s victories.

Sticks of the Game: Bohrofen off the schneid for Arkansas

Jace Bohrofen’s two-hit game is a positive step for the Arkansas lineup.

Arkansas’ bats have struggled a bit in the early going of the 2022 season, including Friday against Southeastern Louisiana. But one expected key hitter may be coming into his own.

Oklahoma transfer Jace Bohrofen was one of the biggest additions to the lineup this year after being ranked as the No. 34 prospect in the country two years ago coming out of high school. He started 29 games with the Sooners last year and took hold of an outfield job at Arkansas quickly, though his bat had been slow to adjust.

He had a pair of knocks to break his hitless streak against Southeastern Louisiana and was joined by the reliable Cayden Wallace and fellow outfielder Zack Gregory as Arkansas’ Sticks of the Game in the opener against SELA.
