The big blow in the game came a bit later. During the bottom of the 6th inning, Cayden Wallace got a hold of one and absolutely destroyed a grand slam to left-center field.
Wallace’s big fly came off the bat with 104 mph exit velocity and went down as a 401 ft. blast. It is the first grand slam of the season for a Razorback and Wallace’s second home run of the season.

Lefty Hagan Smith was also impressive for Arkansas on the mound. He went 5 solid innings with 1 hit allowed and 8 strikeouts for the Razorbacks.
