HOOVER, Ala. (AP) – Lael Lockhart beat Georgia 11-2 in seven innings of two-hit ball and regular-season champions, Arkansas, 11-2 in the second round of the SEC tournament on Wednesday.
Josh McAllister broke Lockhart’s perfect game with a two-out single in the seventh, and Corey Collins followed suit with a home run to get around the 10-run rule.
Four different Arkansas players had two RBIs.
Cullen Smith opened the scoring for Arkansas (43-10) with an RBI double to trigger a second inning of six runs, and he hit a solo home run to win 8-0 in the fifth.
Cayden Wallace, Christian Franklin, and Jalen Battles each walked three times when Georgia (31-24) issued 14 free tickets – four with bases loaded.
Brady Slavens had an RBI single in the second, but he injured his ankle while crossing first base and needed help from the field. He was later seen in a walking shoe.
