Leading Off

• Arkansas has put together four consecutive winning weekends, kicking off the year with a series win against Illinois State. The Razorbacks then went down to Round Rock, Texas, and won two of three games in the Round Rock Classic before taking consecutive weekend series against Southeastern and UIC.
• Arkansas is 611-227 (.729) all-time at Baum-Walker Stadium, including 479-164 (.745) in 20 seasons under head coach Dave Van Horn.
• Third baseman Cayden Wallace was named the SEC Co-Player of the Week and National Player of the Week by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper on Monday after swatting three homers, including two grand slams, and driving in a team-leading 13 runs in Arkansas’ four-game series sweep of UIC over the weekend.
• True freshman Austin Ledbetter will make his second career start on the mound in the opener against Grambling. The Bryant, Ark., native made his first collegiate start last week against UIC, striking out three over three innings of two-hit, one-run ball in the second game of a doubleheader.
