Arkansas freshman hits HR to beat Ole Miss, even series

FAYETTEVILLE — Kendall Diggs hit a three-run home run in the ninth inning to give Arkansas a 6-3 victory over Ole Miss on Saturday at Baum-Walker Stadium.

The fourth-ranked Razorbacks (33-10, 13-7 SEC) tied the series at one game apiece. The teams will play the series finale Sunday at noon on ESPN.

Diggs, a freshman designated hitter, started his first SEC game since March 27 at Missouri. Batting ninth, Diggs went 1 for 4.

The home run came on a 3-2 pitch by Ole Miss reliever Jack Dougherty. Arkansas put two runners on with one out in the inning when Jace Bohrofen singled to left field and Braydon Webb drew a walk.
