Overview

  • The Arkansas junior right-hander threw just the third no-hitter in College World Series history and the first since 1960, finishing with 19 strikeouts in a 3-0 win over Murray State.
  • Wood carried a perfect game into the eighth inning before hitting Dom Decker with a pitch and then retired the next six batters to complete the no-hit bid.
  • Arkansas broke the scoreless tie with three runs in the seventh inning, highlighted by Wehiwa Aloy’s RBI double and an error that produced the third run.
  • Wood is projected to be a first- or second-round pick in the upcoming MLB Draft after overcoming a 54-day right shoulder injury earlier this season.
  • Murray State was eliminated 0-2 in its first College World Series appearance, and Arkansas now awaits the loser of tonight’s UCLA-LSU elimination game.
