Not really? 3 horrific errors in a row, especially that one in the outfield, is why they lost. The 3rd baseman not turning 2, the outfielder going full little league, then the 2nd baseman whiffing a catchable ball. Not really on the pitching.

You still don't pitch to him with the go ahead run in scoring position. The fact that it never should have gotten to that point in no way diminishes the bad decision. Make someone besides their best hitter beat you.

Why do some people have to change the subject to some slight of Tennessee when something glorious and delicious happens?

Just revel in the hogs choking and adding to their already ample reputation for always chocking. I want it in their heads going forward. I suspect it was already in their heads tonight. Let it be compounded to infinity. Let Arkansas baseball be a byword for choking. They deserve it.

The details.
It started with one out and nobody on base. Derek Curiel hit a ground ball to the right side and Arkansas first baseman Reese Robinett elected to field the grounder, when he should have allowed the second baseman get it. Robinett’s throw to the pitcher covering first base was wild and Curiel went to second.

Ethan Frey walked.

And then the Razorbacks absolutely collapsed. LSU shortstop Stevan Milam hit what appeared to be a double play ball to Arkansas shortstop Wehiwa Aloy. For whatever reason, the future first round pick threw to third to get the lead runner, instead of trying to start a game ending 6-4-3 double play.

So two outs, runners at first and second and LSU catcher Luis Hernandez hits a liner right at the Arkansas left fielder Charles Davalan, who slips and the ball hits off his right shoulder towards the left field corner as he falls to the ground. Frey and Milam easily score to tie the game 5-5.

Arkansas brought in right-handed pitcher Aiden Jimenez to face Jared Jones, who homered off Gabe Gaeckle earlier in the game.

The Razorbacks had the option of walking Jones with first base open, but they elected to pitch to the “Bear.”

Jimenez was not going to throw Jones a fastball. He threw Jones four sliders away and Jones hit a looping liner towards Arkansas second baseman Cam Kozeal. Kozeal leaped, the ball hit his glove and fell in shallow center field and Hernandez came racing around third base with the winning run.

While LSU celebrated in the outfield, several Arkansas players were in disbelief and crying, including Davalan who couldn’t make the catch for the final out of the game.

-- Louisiana Radio Network, who is in awe at (another) Arkansas choke for the ages.

Sadly it was LSU that did it, but I'm glad it happened all the same.
