Wood's arsenal features a devastating four-seam fastball, and he used it masterfully against the Racers. Murray State was one of the hottest teams in the field offensively and used its bats to fuel a Cinderella run to Omaha, but the no-hitter brought the Racers' miraculous postseason to an end.

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.
