Overview

  • Gage Wood threw the third no-hitter in College World Series history and first since 1960 to blank Murray State 3-0 on June 16
  • He struck out 19 batters over nine innings, breaking the CWS record for strikeouts in a single game
  • Wood’s perfect game bid ended in the eighth when he hit Dom Decker, and a potential hit-by-pitch in the ninth was overturned after review
  • The win kept Arkansas (49-14) alive in the double-elimination bracket and sets up another elimination game against the loser of the UCLA-LSU matchup
  • Having returned from a 54-day shoulder injury earlier in the season, Wood has boosted his stock as a likely first- or second-round pick in the upcoming MLB Draft
