FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Denay Griffin’s two-run pinch hit home run in the top of the 10th inning was all Liberty needed to defeat No. 17 Arkansas, 2-0 in 10 innings, snapping the Razorbacks program-record 19-game win streak on Tuesday evening. Arkansas (20-3) was held scoreless for the first time all season and had not lost since a 7-4 setback on Feb. 20 at McNeese. Outfielder Aly Manzo led the way at the plate, registering two of the Hogs five hits.
How it Happened
During the second inning, left fielder Ryan Jackson made a crucial play that helped keep the game scoreless until the 10th by snaring a would-be homer just above the top of the Bogle Park outfield wall. Jackson made a highlight catch in left for the second straight game after appearing on SportsCenter’s Top 10 plays last week at South Carolina.
