Series Complete

Arkansas Diamond Classic

The Diamond Classic, hosted by Diamond Sports Alliance, brought Arkansas Razorback Baseball and Softball together for a fall series at Baum-Walker Stadium and Bogle Park this September and October.

Fans saw exhibition games, Red/White scrimmages, home run derbies presented by Wright's Barbecue, and current and former Razorbacks up close at Fan Fest presented by George's. Baseball closed its fall with a 7–1 win over Central Arkansas, and the Red team took the softball finale 7–2.

Thank you to every Hog fan and family who made a day of it.

Thank you fans! 14,801 total attendance — Razorback fans in the stands with their hands raised

Meet the Razorbacks

Fan Fest brought fans inside the Diamond Classic — autographs, meet-and-greets with players and coaches, and the chance to get up close with current and former Razorbacks throughout the series.

Presented by George's, Fan Fest ran alongside the series at Baum-Walker Stadium and Bogle Park this September and October.

Baums Away

Presented by Wright's Barbecue, the Home Run Derby put Razorback bats on display under the lights — baseball at Baum-Walker Stadium in September, then the first-ever Arkansas softball derby at Bogle Park to close the series.

  • Baseball Champion · September 18 Nolan Souza Out-slugged Jorvorskie Lane Jr. in the final round with homers up to 462 feet.
  • Softball Champion · October 23 Kendall Yarnell Went 16-for-20 and beat Ella McDowell in the final with a 249-foot walk-off on the two-point golden ball.
