Freshman Harris comes through in a pinch
FAYETTEVILLE — Struggling to find production from his designated hitter, Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn played the matchups Friday night at Baum-Walker Stadium.
Van Horn started left-handed batter Matt Goodheart against Louisiana Tech right hander Matt Miller, but Goodheart finished 0-for-3 to drop his batting average to a team-worst .179.
When it was time for the DH to hit again in the seventh inning, Van Horn turned to Trey Harris. The freshman has been the most consistent producer at the team's most inconsistent position. Against a Louisiana Tech bullpen full of lefties, Harris - with his .250 average and .500 on-base percentage against left handers - made sense.
