A back-and-forth contest from the start, the teams traded runs in three of nine innings, including innings with multiple runs from both teams.

Junior outfielder Dasan Harris hit his second home run of the season in the fourth inning before doubling up his homers in the eighth, his first multi-home run game of his career.

OU would plate a pair in each the sixth and seventh via Kyle Branch's second home run of the season, a two-run shot, and a two-run double from Lachance to take the lead.

In the eighth, OU would add a solo run via Harris' second homer of the day before Arkansas would score seven in the home half of the inning. The Hogs scored via fielder's choice, four singles and one double.
