Bonfield was named the SEC player of the week for his performance during the Razorbacks' midweek game at Missouri State and weekend series against Georgia. In four games, Bonfield had 8 hits and 11 RBI.
The junior's week included two home runs during the Georgia series, including a two-run home run in the seventh inning of a game Friday that gave the Razorbacks a 3-2 lead. He also had a double and his first career triple during the week, and finished the four games with a .400 batting average.
Bonfield has started all 37 games this season for the Razorbacks (29-8, 11-4 SEC), mostly in left field. He has a .329 batting average with 7 home runs and 35 RBI.
