Grambling State threw almost everything and everyone in an attempt to defeat the No. 3 Arkansas Razorbacks on Tuesday night. It almost worked.
Carson Shaddy scored from first on Eric Cole's line-drive single to right field to cap a four-run eighth inning in the Razorbacks' 7-6 victory in front of 8,470 relieved fans at Dickey-Stephens Park.
Taking advantage of Nick Wheeler's bobble in right field, Shaddy never stopped running once he saw third-base coach Nate Thompson wave him toward the plate. Shaddy's head-first slide got under the glove of Drexler Macaay for the game-winner.
"I told myself right before [Cole] hit it that if he gets a hold of one, I just needed to take off, run as fast as I can and let coach Thompson decide," Shaddy said.
