Through candid interviews, fans find out why this team was so good, what was supposed to happen before Scotty Thurman's famous shot, and the untold stories from the celebration afterward.

📈 STOCK UP

🔺 Grand Slammill Finale. The 20th-ranked Razorback softball team upset No. 3 Georgia to take the series win in Athens! Hannah Gammill was the star of the show with two home runs and five RBI. Raigan Kramer also hit a solo homer in the win. Arkansas entered the seventh inning up 3-2 before a bases loaded hit-by-pitch scored a run. Hannah Gammill came up to plate and launched a no-doubt grand slam to extend the lead to 8-2. The win matches the highest-ranked series win in program history.

🔺 Natural State Showdown. Razorback baseball remains the unanimous No. 1 team in this week’s polls, and they’re already back on the diamond. Arkansas will host Arkansas State tonight at 6 pm on SEC Network+. Freshman pitcher Colin Fisher will get the start on the mound. The Hogs are a perfect 4-0 in midweek games this season and 2-0 against in-state opponents.

🔺 Flipping Into Postseason. We’re just two days away from the gymnastics team hosting the Fayetteville Regional! The Gymbacks will compete against No. 7 Kentucky, Arizona, and Nebraska in Semifinal I on Thursday at 1 pm. All session and single session tickets are available now! 

🔺 Queen Bea. Former Razorback soccer star Bea Franklin made her professional debut with her new squad, the Chicago Red Stars! She got to check-in during this weekend’s match against Orlando Pride. Bea was drafted to Chicago during the 2024 NWSL Draft in January and signed her contract just a couple of weeks ago.

🔺 Swatter’s Club. Baseball head coach Dave Van Horn talked about sweeping LSU and everything that went into the weekend at this month’s Swatter’s Club. He also discussed the solid start to SEC play and the reliable pitching staff. You can watch April’s Swatter’s Club now on Hogs+.
