The old phrase goes, it’s better to be lucky than good. Arkansas softball was both on Monday.
The Razorbacks knocked off No. 4 Tennessee, 2-0, in the series finale to take the weekend set, two games to one and keep the Vols from clinching the SEC’s regular-season crown for at least one more week.
That’s how long remains in the regular season. The Razorbacks can’t win the league title – they sit four games behind Tennnessee, 17-4 to 13-8, but the Razorbacks also look to be in good shape for hosting a Regional in the NCAA Tournament in a couple weeks, especialy now.
Tennessee left eight runners on-base in total and left them on to finish five of the seven innings in the finale. Arkansas left the bases loaded in the sixth, but that point the two runs were already across the plate.
They scored when Rylin Hedgecock homered in herself and Raigan Kramer in the fourth. Meanwhile, Hannah Camenzind pitched 5 2/3 innings, giving up five hits and two walks and Chenise Delce closed the final 1 1/3, striking out three.
Arkansas will close the regular season with a series at Missouri from Friday to Sunday. The Tigers are in last in the SEC.
