Softball won 6-3. Braxton Burnside and Danielle Gibson hit homers for Arkansas. Burnside had a two-run shot in our three-run sixth; it’s her sixth homer of the season already.
Reflecting upon the UA’s most successful teams this year, they appear to have at least two common traits…outstanding coaching and great depth. Most especially The Men’s and Women’s T&F teams and the baseball and basketball teams. I can’t remember the last time the Baseball team had such great depth in all areas. The Men’s basketball team is not there yet but has better depth than recent memory. Overall, the entire UA Athletic Department has great depth. It has a good chance to finish the school year with it’s best overall record.
This is a deep Arkansas baseball team. Last year was deep, too. We just did not get to see enough to know. But they were deep in pitching last year. Pitching appears slightly deeper this year, though.
