The Razorbacks secured the title of SEC Western Division champions once again, marking their ninth time in program history, with a victory over Texas A&M. Led by head coach Dave Van Horn, Arkansas has now clinched the division eight times under his leadership. This win also marked their fifth 20-win SEC season.

Texas Tech transfers Hudson White and Mason Molina played pivotal roles, with White hitting a crucial three-run home run, and Molina pitching three perfect innings with two strikeouts. Despite falling behind early, Arkansas rallied behind sophomore pitcher Gage Wood, who delivered a solid performance with five innings pitched, five strikeouts, and zero walks.

The Razorbacks responded with runs in the second and third innings, with Peyton Holt’s RBI single and Wehiwa Aloy’s 12th home run of the season tying the game at two. Despite Texas A&M taking the lead again in the third, Arkansas leveled the score once more in the sixth inning thanks to Ben McLaughlin’s RBI single. Strong relief pitching from Parker Coil and Mason Molina kept the Aggies at bay, setting the stage for Arkansas’ decisive eighth inning.

Hudson White’s three-run homer gave the Razorbacks their first lead, sealing the SEC Western Division championship. White’s performance, along with Molina’s stellar pitching, propelled Arkansas to victory. The series between the Razorbacks and Aggies concludes the following day, with Arkansas aiming for its first series win at Texas A&M since 2017.
