Diamond Hogs hit 4 homers, wallop EIU in opener

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas isn't expected to hit for as much power in 2019 as it did when it set a school-record 98 home last year, but you couldn't tell by watching the Razorbacks' season opener.

The No. 12 Razorbacks hit four home runs in a 15-7 win over Eastern Illinois on Saturday at Baum-Walker Stadium. The teams are scheduled to play the second game of a doubleheader beginning at 3:50 p.m.

Trevor Ezell hit a solo home run in the third inning, Christian Franklin added a three-run home run and Heston Kjerstad a two-run home run in the fourth, and Jack Kenley hit a solo home run in the sixth.
