The No. 4 Arkansas Razorbacks (40-15) walked off the Texas A&M Aggies (33-24) in extra innings Wednesday at Hoover Metropolitan Stadium in Hoover, Alabama.

Sophomore designated hitter Kendall Diggs' solo homer to lead off the bottom of the 11th gave the Razorbacks a 6-5 win and helped them advance to a winners bracket matchup with LSU on Thursday.

Texas A&M, which is the 10-seed, eliminated the 7-seed Tennessee Volunteers with a 3-0 victory on Tuesday afternoon to advance to the second round. Arkansas won a share of the SEC regular season title and drew the 2-seed to earn a first round bye in the tournament.

Arkansas was 3-for-19 at the plate with runners on and 1-for-11 with runners in scoring position — the one hit being a seventh inning grand slam from Jared Wegner.

Relief arms Zack Morris and Will McEntire gave up just two runs on five hits in a combined nine innings of work.
