Now into the heart of conference season in college baseball, the margin for error becomes slimmer. One team in particular took advantage of a tough schedule.

Let’s take a dive into this week’s sifoeeprocess.com’s Team and Player of the Week:

Team of the Week

With five games on their schedule, the Arkansas Razorbacks (24-9, 8-4 SEC) held their own against No. 15 Auburn in a three-game sweep, and squeaked past ULM in two games to finish the week a perfect 5-0. To cap off the series, it was the heroics of Heston Kjerstad’s walk-off single that proved to be the difference maker in the 5-4 win.

For the first time since 1990, Arkansas has won its first six conference home games. Much to the delight of the Razorbacks, they have a quick chance to continue the streak this week with a three-game series vs. South Carolina.

WOO.
PIG.
SWEEP!
