Freshman Washington comes to play on Tuesday

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas freshman Curtis Washington is making his playing time count this season.

Washington, an outfielder from West Memphis, has been a midweek hitting star for the No. 7 Razorbacks, with at least one hit in three of four Tuesday games this month while subbing for Christian Franklin in left field.

Washington went 3-for-6 and was a triple shy of hitting for the cycle Tuesday night in Arkansas’ 19-2 victory over Northwestern State at Baum-Walker Stadium.

“I know my name could be called at any time,” Washington said afterward. “Whenever my name is called, I look at my name in the lineup and I’m ready; locked in at all times.
