The No. 5 Arkansas Razorbacks took Game 1 of the series 9-1 in 10 innings against the No. 1 LSU Tigers behind a pair of 10th inning home runs from Reese Robinett and Kendall Diggs.

Robinett's pinch hit three-run shot broke a 1-1 tie and put the Razorbacks ahead by three. Following a Brady Slaven sacrifice fly, Diggs hit a two-out grand slam to extend the Diamond Hogs' lead to eight and put it out of reach.

Hollan battled opposite of LSU ace Paul Skenes — who went seven innings and struck out 12 — and the Razorbacks' lefty threw 5 1/3 innings of scoreless ball. Hollan walked one and struck out seven in the outing.

Paul Skenes sat around 99-100 mph on his fastball and retired the Razorbacks in order.

Dylan Crews reached on a one-out single to third, but Hunter Hollan retired the next two batters to get out of the inning after throwing 22 pitches.

Skenes worked another 1-2-3 frame and added a pair of strikeouts on 13 total pitches in the frame.

Hollan matched Skenes' 1-2-3 frame with one of his own and he added his first strikeout of the day.

Skenes needed just nine pitches to get two more strikeouts and three total outs.

Hollan issued a four-pitch walk to start things off, but he bounced back by retiring the next three batters and he added a pair of strikeouts while doing so.

After leading the frame off with a double to right, Tavian Josenberger scored on a sac fly from Peyton Stovall. Skenes struck out the next two batters, but not after he had given up just his third earned run of the season.

Hollan started the frame with a three-pitch strikeout to NC State transfer Tommy White, but a two-out triple from Tre' Morgan put the Arkansas lefty in a pickle. Morgan tried to take home on a pitch that got away from Parker Rowland, but Rowland flipped it to Hollan who tagged Morgan out.

Skenes sat the Razorbacks down in order and added his eighth and ninth strikeouts of the game in the inning.

Hollan had no trouble with the Tigers this time around, as he worked a 1-2-3 frame that featured a pair of strikeouts.

Skenes issued a pair of one-out walks to John Bolton and Josenberger, and then he loaded the bases with a two-out walk to Jared Wegner.

Brady Slavens struck out looking to leave the bases loaded, but the Hogs forced Skenes to throw 33 pitches in the frame.

Brady Neal lined a single to right field to lead the frame off. After Hollan struck out Pearson, Dave Van Horn turned things over to LHP Hagen Smith.

Smith struck out projected top-5 MLB Draft pick Dylan Crews to start his outing and then he struck on White on the next at bat to close the book on Hollan.

After giving up a leadoff single to Jace Bohrofen, Skenes induced a fly out, struck out Harold Coll and Bohrofen was caught stealing.

Smith's first pitch hit Gavin Dugas and after Smith earned a pair of outs, Brayden Jobert singled to right. Parker Rowland worked a back pick to catch Jobert leaning to close the frame.

LSU turned from Skenes to RHP Chase Shores to begin the eighth.

Shores retired the Razorbacks in order and added a pair of strikeouts while doing it.

Brady Neal's one-out solo shot to left tied the game at 1-1.

Smith escaped a bases loaded situation with a foul out from Morgan.

A leadoff single from Peyton Stovall wasn't an issue for Shores, who sat the next three Arkansas batters down in order.

Smith struck out the side in the frame to send the game into extra innings.

Kendall Diggs drew a leadoff walk, resulting in Shores being replaced by RHP Christian Little.

After Little issued a one-out walk, freshman Reese Robinett pinch hit for Bolton and crushed a three-run homer to left-center to put Arkansas ahead 4-1. Back-to-back singles from Josenberger and Stovall chased Little and brought on RHP Will Hellmers.

Brady Slavens hit an RBI sac fly to score Josenberger. After Bohrofen was hit by a pitch, Diggs crushed a two-out grand slam to put the Razorbacks ahead by eight.

Smith gave up a one-out two run homer to Crews, but he was able to finish the frame and give the Razorbacks their 15th straight win.
