HOOVER, Ala. — Brian Anderson doubled and scored on a wild pitch in the bottom of the 10th inning as Arkansas beat Ole Miss 2-1 in the SEC Tournament on Wednesday.
The Razorbacks advanced to the winner's bracket of the double-elimination tournament with the win. Arkansas will face either LSU on Thursday at 4:30 p.m.
Rebels pitcher Matt Denny threw the wild pitch after striking out Jacob Mahan with the bases loaded for the second out of the 10th. Anderson reached with a one-out double and Dominic Ficociello followed with a single, but Anderson was unable to score on the blooper hit to the outfield.
The score broke a 1-1 tie after both teams scored in the first inning. Barrett Astin pitched eight innings in the start for the Razorbacks (36-19), allowing just five hits.
Arkansas loaded the bases three times, but stranded them without a run in both the sixth and eighth innings.
