In one of the best college baseball games so far this season, Hudson White was crowned the hero, lifting No. 1 Arkansas over No. 8 LSU with a walk-off double in the bottom of the 10th inning.

With the walk-off victory on Friday, Arkansas wins the series and has a chance to sweep the Tigers on Saturday at 3 p.m. ET. The win also gives Arkansas its third consecutive conference series victory, with their lone loss thus far coming at the hands of Auburn last Saturday.
After LSU took a 2-0 lead in the third inning, Arkansas responded with three runs of its own in the fourth. Then LSU tied it in the sixth and the two SEC powerhouses were stuck in a stalemate after nine innings of play at Baum-Walker Stadium. And White took it from there.
While Thursday night's win wasn't a walk-off, it also featured a clutch hit as Kendall Diggs' three-run blast put the Razorbacks comfortably in front. The Hogs had to work a little harder to earn the win on Friday night, but White's double willed them to victory.
LSU will have a chance to salvage a game Saturday afternoon, and after starting just 2-6 in SEC play, the Tigers need a big road win in the worst way. Arkansas, of course, will be looking for a home sweep over its bitter rival.
