OF Jace Bohrofen

Stats (5 GP/5 GS): .375/.476/1.188 (6-for-16), 7 R, 1 2B, 4 HR, 9 RBI, 19 TB, 2 BB, 2 HBP, 1 SF, 2 SB

Jace Bohrofen filled up the stat sheet during the Razorbacks’ successful 4-1 week, which included a three-game series sweep against SEC Eastern Division foe Tennessee. Bohrofen, who led all SEC hitters in home runs during the week (4), homered in four consecutive games, hitting two in the Hogs’ midweek series against Little Rock before clobbering two more across the first two games of the series against the Vols. Bohrofen, who also finished second among all SEC hitters in RBI (9) and total bases (19), tallied two multi-hit games and three multi-RBI games, including a season-best four-RBI game, during the week.

Pitcher of the Week
LHP Hunter Hollan

Stats (1 APP/1 GS): 1-0, 1.50 ERA, 6.0 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 6 SO

Hunter Hollan turned in a gem with his quality start against Tennessee to lead the Razorbacks to a series-opening win. The left-hander struck out six over six innings, allowing only one earned run in the ballgame. It was Hollan’s team-leading fourth quality start of the season as he improved to 6-1 on the year and lowered his season ERA to 2.81 in Friday’s win, which propelled Arkansas to a three-game series sweep against Tennessee.

Freshman of the Week
RHP Gage Wood

Stats (1 APP/1 GS): 1 SV, 3.00 ERA, 3.0 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 6 SO

Gage Wood was dominant in relief in Saturday’s game against Tennessee, which helped the Razorbacks clinch an SEC series win against the Vols. The true freshman locked down the final three innings, securing his third career save by striking out a career-high six batters to preserve the Hogs’ series-clinching win. Wood’s save was his third of the season as well as his third save in SEC play.
