The No. 2 Arkansas Razorbacks (25-3, 7-1 SEC) earned a 6-4 extra-inning win over the Vanderbilt Commodores (20-7, 4-4 SEC) at Hawkins Field in Nashville, Tennessee.

It's the first time the Diamond Hogs have won a series against Vanderbilt since 2017 and the first series win in Nashville since 2010.

A day after mashing two home runs against Vanderbilt, Arkansas first baseman Cam Kozeal hit his third longball of the weekend in the second inning to give the Hogs a 2-0 lead. The former Commodore transfer finished 1-for-4 at the plate with three RBIs.

Arkansas starting pitcher Gabe Gaeckle looked more like his old self against the Commodores, as he tossed 5.2 innings with six hits allowed, two earned runs, zero walks and seven punchouts.

Right-handed relief pitch Aiden Jimenez was excellent out of the bullpen, as he struck out four batters in 3.1 innings with three hits and one run allowed.

Center fielder Justin Thomas Jr. pitched in a solo homerun, while third baseman Brent Iredale and catcher Ryder Helfrick tallied an RBI each.
