Arkansas is moving on to the SEC Softball Tournament semifinals. The No. 5 seed Razorbacks move on to face No. 1 seed Oklahoma after a 6-1 win over No. 4 seed Tennessee on Thursday afternoon.
The Hogs and Vols were scoreless through the first 3 innings. Arkansas got on the board first in the top of the 4th in a wacky way as a Tennessee error on a rundown allowed 2 to cross the plate.

Tennessee rallied in the 6th inning. UT had 3 hits in the frame, but managed only 1 run, leaving 2 on base.
Holding on to a 2-1 lead, Arkansas was looking for insurance in the top of the 7th. Raigan Kramer came through in a big way, crushing a grand slam off Karlyn Pickens to right-center field to make it 6-1.

In the bottom of the 7th, Tennessee managed a leadoff single, but was unable to score and get the rally going. Robyn Herron picked up a complete game victory, allowing 6 hits and 1 unearned run over 7 innings, striking out 9 with no walks on 90 pitches (62 strikes).
