The second time proved to be the charm for the Razorbacks and Wehiwa Aloy in the Arkansas vs Ole Miss rubber match Sunday afternoon. After capping the first comeback with a two-run blast, the slugging shortstop hit a three-run homer in the ninth to lift the No. 3 Razorbacks to a 12-9 win over the No. 13 Rebels at Swayze Field in Oxford, Miss.

Arkansas had its chances on Saturday night in a nationally televised tussle with then-No. 3 Alabama, but ultimately couldn’t prevail in a 85-81 defeat. A win would’ve been the first over the Crimson Tide since 2021, as Nate Oats’ squad has now won five straight over the Razorbacks. Alabama will travel to Texas on Tuesday night before returning home Saturday to face in-state rival and No. 1 Auburn in front of ESPN College GameDay cameras.
