Benintendi riding high after sophomore surge

FAYETTEVILLE — Andrew Benintendi spent his first season at Arkansas adjusting to college baseball.

Now it's the rest of the country that has been forced to adjust to the sophomore outfielder, one of the top prospects in next week's Major League Baseball draft and a driving force behind a team two wins from its first College World Series in three years. The Southeastern Conference Player of the Year is hitting .390 with 18 home runs and 22 steals this season.

The Razorbacks (38-22) take on Missouri State (48-10) this weekend in a best two-of-three super regional, with the winner advancing to Omaha.
