Cowboy swings away: Unlikely grand slam punctuates Hogs' big win

Hunter Wilson has been part of every Arkansas home run this season.

Wilson, the charismatic reserve infielder with the nickname "Cowboy," took the responsibility upon himself to place a plastic Hog hat on each home run hitter when they returned to the dugout 82 times this season, including once when he was a base runner.

On the 83rd homer, Wilson wore the crown.

His stunning two-out grand slam in the ninth inning gave No. 7 Arkansas some breathing room in its 8-2 win over No. 3 Florida at the SEC Tournament on Friday. The Razorbacks advanced to the single-elimination semifinal round to be played Saturday afternoon against the winner of Friday's night's game between Florida and LSU.
