Another tweet from Kendall Rogers:

Well, @RazorbackBSB is putting on an absolute offensive clinic right now. After a Dom Fletcher RBI single, young Heston Kjerstad goes oppo for a three run bomb. It's now 7-0 #Hogs over #UK. It's crazy to see someone pummel Kentucky after what I saw from them in Houston.

[pigture perfect]

I wish Phil wouldn't keep jinxing us. Shhhhhhh!

[BigBrandonAllenFan]

Kjerstad who is 1-1, goes 1-1 and HOMERS to left, 3 rbis

7-0 Arkansas

Kjerstud!

[JHicks3636]

Collett who is 0-1 today, takes a ball, flies out to center

[JHicks3636]

Heyer who is 0-1, grounds out to the pitcher on the first pitch

7-0 Arkansas after 3 1/2

[Pudgepork]

Whew! Campbell is the man!   Keep the pressure on Hogs

In the Cardinal and White 4th

3. Martin     1-2
4. Bonfield   1-2, HR
5. Fletcher   1-2

[JHicks3636]

Same Kentucky pitcher

[JHicks3636]

Martin leads off the inning for the second time in a row, starts with a strike, 0-2, Ks swinging

Agree.   This team is having success at both small ball and long ball.   Much different than last year when the hogs were long ball or bust

[ucahogfan]

Same Kentucky pitcher

At this point, you probably just use him up to his pitch count and then go from there.

[JHicks3636]

Bonfield who is 1-2 with a big fly earlier, with a strike, 1-1, 1-2, 2-2, Ks swinging

[Hawgphish]

Martin is going to have to show he can go the other way or he may never get another pitch he can turn down on. 

[elksnort]

Sorry if it's already been explained but why the doubleheader today? Is it supposed to rain tomorrow in Fayetteville?

[JHicks3636]

Fletcher who is 1-2, takes a ball, 1-1, 2-1, 3-1, grounds out to 2B

7-0 Arkansas after 4

I said after our opening three games in the "Freshman Heston Kjerstad" thread after watching his swing that it would be in short time that everyone in college baseball would know who Kjerstad is, which apparently includes Kendall Rogers now.

yes

Kendall Rogers knew all about Kjerstad before the season.  DVH has raved about him to anyone who will listen.

[JHicks3636]

Johnson who was HBP in his first trip, fouls off a strike, lines out to 3B

[Hawgphish]

Is Kjerstad an outfielder by trade?

[JHicks3636]

Cottam begins with a strike, 1-1, homers to center for the first Kentucky hit and run

7-1 Arkansas

[SPAL]

Crushed it

[ucahogfan]

Is Kjerstad an outfielder by trade?

Yes, might be a CF, but more than likely a corner.  He definitely has the arm for RF.

[JHicks3636]

Dawson who is 0-1 in the game, goes even at 2-2, Ks swinging

[JHicks3636]

Squires is their leadoff batter and is 0-2 thus far, starts 1-1, 2-1, grounds out to 2B

7-1 Arkansas after 4 1/2

[JHicks3636]

65 pitches for Campbell in 5 innings

[ucahogfan]

Kentucky pulled back to even in the SEC HR race with us.

[JHicks3636]

Lewis still in the game and has 79 pitches in 4 innings

Yeah, but now Kendall Rogers is Tweeting Kjerstad's name, not just hearing it.  There is a difference.

[JHicks3636]

McFarland who is 1-2, with a strike, 0-2, 1-2, Ks swinging

Lewis now with 6 Ks and appears to have warmed up finally

[JHicks3636]

In the Home 5th

6. Fletcher     1-2
7. McFarland  1-2
8. Kjerstad     2-2, HR, 3 rbis

[TNhawgfan]

65 pitches for Campbell in 5 innings

I call that cruising

[JHicks3636]

Kjerstad is 2-2 with a 3 run bomb earlier, with a strike, 0-2, Foul, foul, HBP

[ucahogfan]

Kjerstad is 2-2 with a 3 run bomb earlier, with a strike, 0-2, Foul, foul, HBP

His 11th HBP of the season.  Averaging over 0.5 HBP per game.

[Pudgepork]

Kjerstad HBP?    Vegas has to have o/u odds offered on this at this point

[jry04]

I said after our opening three games in the "Freshman Heston Kjerstad" thread after watching his swing that it would be in short time that everyone in college baseball would know who Kjerstad is, which apparently includes Kendall Rogers now.

Rogers tweeted about him before we ever played a game...

[ucahogfan]

More from Kendall Rogers:

Been very impressed with Isaiah Campbell. He allowed a HR to Kole Cottam, but shook it off and closed out the inning cleanly. He’s sitting pretty comfortable at 92-94 right now around 65 pitches. #mlbdraft @RazorbackBSB

[ucahogfan]

Lewis over 95 pitches now and I think Eklund just mentioned that Kentucky does not have any action going in their pen. Means he will probably go at least 110 pitches today.

[JHicks3636]

Koch is 1-2 and takes a ball, 2-0, 2-1 ,3-1, full, foul, foul, singles to right center and runners are on the corners with 1 out
