Hogs get 15th inning homer from Kjerstad to avoid sweep at Auburn

By ESPN Arkansas News Services

Auburn thought it had a doubleheader sweep in the 10th inning against Arkansas on Friday night.

Then they didn’t.

The Razorbacks hung in, getting key hits when they needed them until Heston Kjerstad led off with a homer in the 15th inning, then Matt Goodheart had a two-RBI double for a 9-6 win in a game that lasted five hours, 40 minutes.

It could end up being a huge win down the road.

Auburn had rallied in the first game scoring six straight runs for a 6-3 win over Hogs’ starter and ace Isaiah Campbell.

And it looked in the 10th inning of the second game like they had a sweep.

Tigers catcher Matt Scheffler singled to bring Steven Williams home from second base. Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn appealed the play at the plate and replay showed Hogs catcher Casey Opitz tagged Williams and that sent things to the 11th inning.

Arkansas will try Saturday to get a series win, facing Auburn at 1 p.m.
