Polarizing return

FAYETTEVILLE -- University of Arkansas right fielder Heston Kjerstad drew a mixed review in his comeback game Tuesday night from Razorbacks Coach Dave Van Horn.

Kjerstad went 3 for 4 to help lead Arkansas' offense in a 19-2 victory over Northwestern (La.) State at Baum-Walker Stadium before an announced crowd of 2,547, but he also had a base-running mistake that cost the Razorbacks two runs and some other mental errors.

Van Horn had words of praise for Kjerstad's hitting, but clearly was exasperated by other aspects of his play to the extent of pulling him from the game after the sixth inning.
