For once, things in a College World Series are breaking in favor of the Arkansas Razorbacks. After sitting around Charles Schwab Field

In a 3-0 win over Murray State in an elimination game on Monday, Razorbacks right hander Gage Wood fired the third no-hitter in the history of the College World Series. His 19 strikeouts were the most in a nine-inning game in Omaha, just one shy of the record 20 set in 1965.

The Arkansas Razorbacks have one task in mind when it comes to their baseball team right now. Win the whole, dang thing in Omaha, Nebraska. On Monday, they took a huge step towards that goal - thanks mostly to Gage Wood.

Arkansas has its starter lined up as the Razorbacks look to fight off elimination for a 2nd straight day at the College World Series.

History Lesson Entering Monday’s matchup in Omaha, Arkansas is 8-0 all-time against Murray State. Under Dave Van Horn, the Razorbacks are 6-0 overall against the Racers.

Arkansas’ Gage Wood set the CWS record for strikeouts in a nine-inning game and never let Murray State come close to getting a hit in the Razorbacks’ 3-0 victory.
