Kuhio Aloy (Baldwin) mashed his 10th home run of the season in the middle game, running his RBI total to 50 with five in the three-game series. The loss wasn’t the worst news from the weekend, as Nolan Souza (Punahou) is feared out for the season after sliding into third base trying to advance. He is hitting .250 this season with four homers and 22 RBIs, but he hit .354 in his past 10 games. He has committed two errors in 72 games at second base for the Razorbacks.

He is hitting .440 during his second seven-game hitting streak of the season.
>> Nuu Contrades (Saint Louis), Arizona State: Paired hits in two of his four games last week, but his on-base streak ended at 41 in a loss to Cincinnati.

He went hitless in four at-bats with a walk in the next game before heating up again. Counting the literal definition of reaching base, his streak is up to 45.
