Watch: Arkansas freshman hits two homers vs. Ole Miss

By Samuel Stubbs | Last updated 4/6/24

For an Arkansas program that is usually led by a multitude of experienced players, Nolan Souza is a massive outlier. The freshman DH led Arkansas to a series sweep of Ole Miss on Saturday, collecting five RBI on the day. In fact, it was Souza who got the scoring started in Arkansas' 7-4 win.

In the fifth inning, Souza answered the bell again, hitting an RBI single to put Arkansas ahead 3-2.

Souza saved his best act for last, however. With the game tied at three, the Razorbacks had two men on base with nobody out. With an even 2-2 count, Souza absolutely blasted a ball into right-center. The rest, as they say, is history.

Souza's three-run moonshot put Arkansas ahead 6-3, and the Hogs would add to the lead later in the inning.

While Ole Miss scratched home a run in the top of the ninth, Will McEntire and the Razorbacks held on for their third SEC sweep. The win puts Arkansas at 27-3 overall, with a league-leading 11-1 mark in SEC play after four SEC series.

Arkansas' next two contests are midweek games against San Jose State.

After the two-game stint against the Spartans, the Razorbacks will travel to Tuscaloosa to face Alabama. Despite a strong 10-0 start to the season, the Crimson Tide is just 12-9 in its last 21 games, including a paltry 4-7 mark in conference play. Needless to say, it won't get any easier with the No. 1 team in the country coming to town next weekend.
