PREGAME
The only change in Arkansas' starting lineup - which can be seen below - is Cole Austin replacing Zack Gregory at first base. He's hitting in the 9-hole.
Because of South Alabama's travel plans, no inning can start after 4 p.m.
Top 1st - South Alabama 1, Arkansas 0
The Razorbacks will once again be playing from behind. Ethan Wilson reached on a one-out single, moved to second on a wild pitch and then scored on Reid Powers' RBI single. The Jaguars actually loaded the bases against Kole Ramage, but they stranded them when Andrew Bates grounded out to second.
Bottom 1st - Arkansas 1, South Alabama 1
Christian Franklin's leadoff triple turns into a run on Matt Goodheart's sacrifice fly to deep left field. That ties it up.
Top 3rd - South Alabama 3, Arkansas 1
After hitting the first batter with a pitch, Ramage gave up an RBI triple to Kaleb DeLaTorre - who ended up scoring on a groundout by Dakota Dailey.
Bottom 3rd - South Alabama 3, Arkansas 3
Franklin crushed a solo home run over the left field bullpen to lead off the third and pull Arkansas within a run. Later in the inning, Braydon Webb delivered a two-out RBI single to tie it up.
FINAL - Arkansas 5, South Alabama 3
Heston Kjerstad ends it with a walk-off home run with two outs.
