Persistence pays off for Moore

Arkansas second baseman Robert Moore watches Tuesday, March 30, 2021, as the ball hits the scoreboard for a solo home run during the fifth inning of play against Central Arkansas in Baum-Walker Stadium in Fayetteville.

Noted Razorback fan and country music star Carrie Underwoood once had a hit song in which she asked Jesus to take the wheel.

It turns out Arkansas sophomore second baseman Robert Moore, needing only a double to hit for the cycle against visiting Central Arkansas, asked Jesus to take the bat on Tuesday night.

Moore then lashed a two-strike, three-run double in the sixth inning.
