Arkansas right fielder Brady Slavens (17) watches a home run during the fourth inning of a game against Nebraska-Omaha on Wednesday, March 2, 2022, in Fayetteville.
FAYETTEVILLE — Time will tell whether Brady Slavens’ mammoth home run in the fourth inning against Nebraska-Omaha will be a turning point for Arkansas’ offense in 2022.
There was little doubt it was the turning point Wednesday afternoon.
Slavens’ 390-foot blast onto the top of the Hunt Center beyond the right-field wall tied the game 2-2, and Arkansas’ next four hitters also scored in the inning to propel the sixth-ranked Razorbacks to a 15-3 victory over the Mavericks at Baum-Walker Stadium.
