FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. <\/strong>\u2013 A seven-run eighth inning propelled No. 17 Arkansas (34-17, 15-11) to a 12-8 series-clinching come-from-behind win against No. 24 Oklahoma (30-18, 12-14) Saturday afternoon at Baum-Walker Stadium.<\/p>\n The Hogs improved to 6-3 in SEC weekend series, including a 3-2 series record at home, this season with Saturday\u2019s win against the Sooners. Arkansas will close out the regular season and its SEC slate next weekend at Kentucky (May 14-16).<\/p>\n Oklahoma led 8-5 entering the bottom half of the eighth, but Arkansas turned the game on its head by scoring seven to open a four-run advantage. The seven-run frame included six hits, including five singles and a double, to go along with a walk and timely error, as the Razorbacks capitalized on the Sooners\u2019 miscue to build a game-changing 12-8 advantage.<\/p>\n Consecutive runs batted in by Kuhio Aloy, Nolan Souza and Maika Niu with one out in the eighth inning tied the game at eight apiece before Zack Stewart\u2019s go-ahead two-run double down the right field line put the Hogs up, 10-8. Back-to-back RBI singles by Carter Rutenbar and Damian Ruiz later in the frame would extend Arkansas\u2019 lead to four.<\/p>\n Arkansas finished with 12 runs on nine hits, including a pair of home runs, and 11 walks in the win. Camden Kozeal and Ryder Helfrick each drew three walks, while Niu went 2-for-5 with a homer, his second in as many games, and three RBI.<\/p>\n TJ Pompey, meanwhile, belted his 12th home run of the season, third most on the team, in the second inning. The Razorback third baseman finished the contest with a pair of walks and a stolen base, his 12th of the campaign.<\/p>\n Arkansas won when scoring a go-ahead run in the eighth inning for the sixth time since April 3. For the season, the Razorbacks have outscored their opponents 58-18 in the eighth, including 34-7 since the beginning of April.<\/p>\n On the mound, Gabe Gaeckle started for the Hogs and turned in 4.2 innings of three-run ball with four strikeouts. Arkansas used four pitchers in relief of Gaeckle \u2013 Parker Coil (1.1 IP, 4 R, 2 SO), Steele Eaves (1.0 IP), Tate McGuire (1.0 IP, 1 R) and Ethan McElvain (1.0 IP, 2 SO) \u2013 to fend off Oklahoma and pull out Saturday\u2019s series-clinching comeback win.<\/p>\n The Razorbacks will go for the sweep of the Sooners in tomorrow\u2019s finale at Baum-Walker Stadium. First pitch is set for 1 p.m. Sunday, May 10, on SEC Network+ with Brett Dolan (play-by-play) and Troy Eklund (analyst) in the broadcast booth.<\/p>\n For complete coverage of Arkansas baseball, follow the Hogs on Twitter (<\/em>@RazorbackBSB<\/em><\/a>), Instagram (<\/em>@RazorbackBSB<\/em><\/a>) and Facebook (<\/em>Arkansas Razorback Baseball<\/em><\/a>).<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
