FINAL: Arkansas 4, Omaha 0 | Box Score

The Razorbacks’ struck early with all four of the teams runs coming in the first on Krzysko’s grand slam.

After back-to-back singles from Hannah McEwen and Ashley Diaz, sophomore Aly Manzo drew a two-out walk to load the bases for Krzysko.

The Barrington, Ill., native responded by sending the 2-2 offering from Omaha starter Laura Roecker over the fence in left field. The home run was her fifth of the season and the team’s third grand slam.

Haff made the four-run advantage stand up through her five innings before giving way to Storms who pitched the final two.

Omaha’s lone hit of the day was a two-out double in the first frame that Haff worked around with her second strikeout. She issued a pair of walks in the second but again struck out the final hitter of the inning to get out of trouble.

Haff finished the game with six strikeouts and retired the final 10 hitters she faced.

Storms continued the lights-out pitching by striking out the side in the sixth inning. She walked the first hitter of the seventh and after a groundball to second, the visitors had a runner in scoring position.

McEwen made a diving catch to keep Omaha from scoring a potential run and a final ground out to Haydi Bugarin at second secured the win.
