Gage Wood makes College World Series history with third no-hitter for Arkansas Razorbacks
Gage Wood
on Monday etched his name into
College World Series history
, throwing just the third no-hitter ever recorded in the tournament and the first in 65 years in a 3-0 win over
Murray State
to keep the season alive with record 19 strikeouts.
Wood joined an exclusive club alongside
Jim Ehrler
of Texas (1950) and
Jim Wixson
of Oklahoma State (1960) as the only pitchers to throw no-hitters in College World Series history.
His dominance was unquestionable, as the Razorbacks' defence was rarely tested throughout the game. Facing a Racers team making its first-ever appearance in Omaha, Wood controlled the tempo from the mound, silencing the bats with authority and poise.

Arkansas (49-14) will face another elimination game on Tuesday night against the winner of Monday night's LSU-UCLA matchup.
Live Events
Murray State (44-17), making its first-ever trip to Omaha, went 0-2 and became just the fourth No. 4 regional seed since 1999 to reach the College World Series.
Wood's bid for a perfect game ended in the eighth inning when his 2-2 breaking ball clipped Dom Decker on the back foot. In the ninth, he hit pinch-hitter Nico Bermeo on the elbow with a fastball, but after a successful Arkansas challenge, the call was overturned - officials ruled Bermeo leaned into the pitch.

Wood then struck out Connor Cunningham and Jonathan Hogart to seal the no-hitter. As the final out was recorded, teammates swarmed Wood behind the mound, the celebration spilling joyfully toward the infield between second and third base.
'Gage was just executing pitch after pitch, getting ahead in the count and elevating his fastball in and out. What a great job,' coach Dave Van Horn said. 'The few plays we had to make behind him - maybe nine, eight? - just glad we made all those plays.'
Wood, a projected first-round pick in next month's MLB Draft, was in complete control throughout the game, reaching a three-ball count only twice. Of his 119 pitches, an impressive 83 were strikes, showcasing his command and efficiency.

ICC ready for 4-day Tests in 2027-29 WTC cycle; India, Australia, England to still play 5-day matches: Report
London: The International Cricket Council ( ICC ) is ready to sanction four-day Tests for smaller nations in the 2027-29 World Test Championship cycle but India, Australia and England can still play the traditional five-day matches , according a report here. The move to reduce matches by one day would be a significant change and can help smaller nations to play more Tests and longer series. "During discussions last week at the WTC final at Lord's, the ICC chair, Jay Shah , is understood to have expressed his support for four-day Tests, with a view to sanctioning them in time for the 2027-29 WTC cycle," a report in "The Guardian' newspaper said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Perfectly Timed Photos You Won't Believe Are Real Read More "England, Australia and India would still be permitted to schedule five-Test series of five-day matches for the Ashes, the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and the newly named Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, the first iteration of which begins with the first Test between England and India at Headingley on Friday." The ICC first sanctioned four-day Tests for bilateral contests in 2017. England played Zimbabwe over four days at Trent Bridge last month after four-day Tests against Ireland in 2019 and 2023. Live Events According to the report, "many smaller nations are reluctant to host Tests due to the time they take out of the schedule and the cost, but a move to four-day cricket would enable an entire three-Test series to be played in less than three weeks." "In four-day Tests the playing hours are extended to mandate a minimum of 98 overs per day rather than 90 overs to mitigate the time lost," it said. "South Africa's threadbare itinerary despite being crowned world champions in the thrilling final against Australia at Lord's last week has further highlighted the issue, and focused minds on the need for change," it added. The 2025-27 World Test Championship will, however, will continue under the existing format of five-day matches. It begins with Sri Lanka hosting Bangladesh in a two-Test series on Tuesday. Of the 27 Test series to be played among nine countries contesting in the 2025-27 cycle, 17 will feature just two-match affairs whereas there will be six series of three matches. England, Australia and India will all play a five-Test series each against the other.
