Arkansas’ Gage Wood Throws Third No-Hitter in College World Series History

Arkansas pitcher Gage Wood threw a historic no-hitter in an elimination game against Murray State in the 2025 Men’s College World Series, marking only the third no-hitter in the event's history and the first since 1960. Wood struck out a program-record 19 batters over 119 pitches, maintaining a perfect game bid until hitting a batter in the eighth inning, which was the only baserunner allowed. Arkansas won 3-0, with key offensive contributions including RBI hits by Charles Davalan and Wehiwa Aloy. Wood’s performance, coming just after a shoulder injury and in only his 10th outing of the season, significantly boosts his profile as a projected early MLB Draft pick. After the game, Wood showed sportsmanship by consoling Murray State players Jonathan Hogart and Conner Cunningham, the latter being a former high school teammate and training partner. The Razorbacks advance to face either LSU or UCLA next in the series.
