Doing it again

In Saturday’s 6-2 win, Linnie Malkin and Kacie Hoffmann hit back-to-back home runs to spark the Razorbacks’ big sixth inning.

The duo followed suit again Sunday, launching consecutive home runs in the second inning. It was Malkin’s 22nd of the season and Hoffmann’s eighth.

Razorbacks Coach Courtney Deifel said she’s seen growth from Hoffmann, a freshman, in the postseason.

“I think that a lot of our veterans have taken her under their wing,” Deifel said. “And that’s what we need them to do. Kacie is an incredibly talented hitter, she has a hitter’s mentality… You see her having conversations with Linnie [Malkin], with KB [Sides], with Hannah [Gammill] and they do a really good job of just keeping her really level and just reminding her how dang good she is.”
