FAYETTEVILLE — South Alabama hit Arkansas with a haymaker in the first four innings Friday at Baum-Walker Stadium.
The Jaguars, who entered with a .200 batting average and four home runs through 14 games, hit a combined three home runs against Arkansas starter Patrick Wicklander and reliever Kevin Kopps to go ahead 8-3.
South Alabama finished with a season-high 11 hits and scored multiple runs in five innings of a 13-6 victory over the No. 10 Razorbacks. Arkansas lost its fifth consecutive game, including its second straight at home where it lost only three nonconference games last season.
