Jalen Battles hit a three-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to give fourth-ranked Arkansas the lead over Louisiana-Lafayette on Sunday night in the Round Rock Classic.
In the ninth inning, Battles saved the Razorbacks with his glove.
After the Ragin’ Cajuns loaded the bases with no outs, Battles was involved in all three outs to preserve Arkansas’ 6-4 victory. He forced out a runner at second base for the first out of the ninth, then ended the game with a leaping catch on a line drive hit by Wil Veillon. Battles turned a double play with a flip to Robert Moore at second base.
