Arkansas Baseball Academy players make news



Arkansas Baseball Academy players (past and present) make news the weekend of April 16-18, 2010

Blake Leisenring had a good day at the plate for North Little Rock versus Bryant.
There was a misprint in the paper on Blaine Tanner's unbelievable hitting performance against Little Rock Central High. Blaine had an "inside the parker" homerun, but the paper emphatically stated that he hit "all singles." Unfortunately the person keeping the scorebook, scored the play wrong because the outfielder came charging into to try to catch Blaine's line drive hit, but missed played the ball and never put a glove on the ball. When the outfielder missed the ball by diving at the line drive, the ball rolled to the fence and allowed Blaine Tanner to get a rare "inside the park" homerun.





Former Arkansas Baseball Academy player (Chris Driedric) actually hit a homerun out of the park at Hendrix. Mitchell Powers had a phenomenal day at the plate as well.
