NORTH LITTLE ROCK — When Carson Shaddy crossed the plate to give Arkansas the go-ahead run in the eighth inning Tuesday night, Razorbacks coach Dave Van Horn was first out of the dugout.
The normally reserved Van Horn was one of several in red who spilled out to fist pump and celebrate a four-run inning that matched Grambling's four runs in the top of the eighth. Arkansas closer Matt Cronin retired all three Tigers he faced in the ninth and the Razorbacks held off an upset bid, 7-6.
