The Arkansas Razorbacks took care of business late against Texas A&M, hitting a walk-off homer in extra innings in the SEC Tournament. In the bottom of the 11th inning, Kendall Diggs came up to the plate and delivered the game-winning blast to right field to give the two-seeded Razorbacks a win over the 10-seed Aggies.

The heroics came late for Arkansas via huge hits, as a seventh-inning grand slam gave them the runs they needed to reach extra innings in the first place.

With a 2-1 count, Diggs turned the 92-mph pitch into a game-winner and rounded the bases to a home-plate celebration the team will likely remember throughout the postseason. The game was the first to go into extra innings of the SEC Tournament so far, and the earlier grand slam by the Razorbacks was the first of the tournament as well.
