UA rally capped in grand fashion

FAYETTEVILLE -- Senior Ashley Diaz took the first pitch to calm her nerves, then proceeded to send the second pitch over the left-field wall for a grand slam.

Her big fly Saturday led the No. 17 University of Arkansas softball team to a 7-4 comeback victory over No. 16 South Carolina.

Down 4-0 heading into the bottom of the sixth inning, the Razorbacks (21-6, 3-2 SEC) scored seven times to give the Bogle Park crowd of 2,858 something to cheer about.

"I just knew that I had to be big for my team," Diaz said afterward.
