FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas coach Courtney Deifel went back and forth trying to determine A.J. Belans' most important home run of the season.
Belans delivered a key solo home run to lead off the fifth inning to break a scoreless tie in Arkansas' 5-0 win over Wichita State to advance to Sunday's NCAA Fayetteville Regional final. It was just Belans' fifth home run of the season.
"Today was maybe her biggest … No, I can't say that," Deifel said with a smile. "She had a really big one earlier, too."
Deifel struggled to pinpoint which home run has had the greatest impact because, the coach said, Belans has gifted Arkansas with several over the course of the season.
