Jason Motte, who leads the NL with 40 saves

Jason Motte, who leads the NL with 40 saves, got a break after converting opportunities in each of the Cardinals' previous seven wins to earn NLplayer of the week honors on Monday.

Center fielder Jon Jay, who doesn't have an error this season, robbed Castro of a hit in the fourth inning with a tricky catch. He leapt to stop it with his glove, but it bounced off. He got his bare hand on it, before bobbling it and falling to his knees to snag it before it hit the ground. He smiled and shook his head as he got to his feet as players in the St. Louis dugout raised their arms and cheered.

"I couldn't believe he was able to come down with it," Castro said. "That was one of the best catches I had ever seen. We had some bad luck tonight."

The Razorbacks led 28-7 midway through the third quarter after freshman quarterback Brandon Allen

Leonard finished with 11 catches for 112 yards receiving.

Browning was 42 of 67 passing for 412 yards passing, and he had 69 yards rushing on 16 carries — his last the winding, game-winning scramble in overtime around and through the Arkansas defense.

The Razorbacks led 28-7 midway through the third quarter after freshman quarterback Brandon Allen connected with MeKale McKay for a 13-yard touchdown. Allen, filling in for the injured Wilson, finished 6 of 20 passing for 85 yards.

The Razorbackshad little offense after that, though they managed to take a 34-31 lead in overtime after a 37-yard field goal by Zach Hocker.

Cobi Hamilton led Arkansas with 99 yards receiving and a touchdown on six catches. The senior now has eight touchdown catches in seven career games in Little Rock's War Memorial Stadium.
