BATON ROUGE, La. – Pinch hitter Ryan Jackson floated the go-ahead base hit to left in the top of the seventh inning, and pitcher Mary Haff spun a complete game masterpiece as No. 7 Arkansas took game one of the series, 1-0, at LSU on Saturday night in Baton Rouge. With two games left this weekend, the Razorbacks (39-7, 18-4 SEC) are one win away from claiming at least a share of the program’s first SEC regular season title.

How it Happened
Arkansas’ defense made big plays behind Haff to keep the game scoreless, stranding five LSU (28-16, 10-9 SEC) baserunners. Second baseman Keely Huffine made a tremendous play ranging deep down the right field line, making a basket catch with her back facing home plate to end the first and leave a runner at third.

We ve got just a few weeks left in the college softball season before the postseason and the highly anticipated 2021 Women s College World Series. After a shortened 2020 season, we finally got to experience somewhat of a long, full softball season (aside from some cancellations). We have seen a lot of power at the plate this year. Here are some of the top home run hitters that will most likely go yard when they step into the batter s box.
Jocelyn Alo Oklahoma
Jocelyn Alo is having a monster season and so are the Sooners, who have been unanimously No. 1 for seven straight weeks and have lost only one game this season. Alo is a big part of that. She has smashed 25 home runs this season and she leads the country in that category. She currently has a 1.205 slugging percentage and is hitting .504. Pretty impressive. Here is the best part though. She had 54 home runs

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – No. 6 Arkansas scored six runs in the first two innings and banged out a season-high 13 hits to defeat No. 19 Missouri, 8-4, in the Bogle Park regular season finale on Monday night. The Razorbacks (38-7, 17-4 SEC) never trailed and finish the week 1.5 games ahead of Florida for first place in the SEC standings.
How it Happened
The offense wasted no time jumping on the scoreboard in the bottom of the first inning. Back-to-back walks drawn by outfielder Hannah McEwen and infielder Braxton Burnside allowed infielder Hannah Gammill to launch her eighth home run of the year to left, giving Arkansas a 3-0 lead. Infielder Danielle Gibson went yard two pitches later, combining with Gammill for the Razorbacks’ ninth back-to-back home runs this year. Gibson is tied for second on the team alongside designated player Linnie Malkin with 15 home runs.
