Hogwired.com: Razorbacks Knockoff No. 1 Vandy in Dramatic Fashion
Logan Forsythe’s deep fly ball to right-center field in the bottom of the 10th inning completed a wild 8-7 win for No. 9 Arkansas over top-ranked Vanderbilt on Friday night in front of 9,078 fans at Baum Stadium.
Sean Jones stood ready to tag up at second base on the play, but Arkansas skipper Dave Van Horn had another idea and waved Jones around third base. The relay throw to the plate was in time, but Commodores’ catcher Shea Robin could not come up with the throw cleanly as Jones slapped the plate on a head-first dive for the win.

I'll tell you what…you can go a lifetime and not see a guy score from second on a sacrifice fly! Give Van Horn credit…he was waving him in all the way.
That was the most thrilling game at Baum Statium since the Toops grand slam HR beat Wichita State in the 2004 Fayetteville Regional.
Forsythe and Nutt were unstoppable (3 hits each).
Wow, what a game! Surely, there is a video of the ending somewhere!
Owasso…looks like there is a video!
