Racers ousted at Omaha by Arkansas no-hitter

Murray State's historic run to the College World Series ended with another piece of history, but not the kind relished by Racer fans.

Arkansas’ Gage Wood pitched the third no-hitter in College World Series history and first in 65 years on Monday, striking out a record 19 and never letting Murray State come close to getting a hit in the Razorbacks’ 3-0 victory.

Wood joined Jim Ehrler of Texas in 1950 and Jim Wixson of Oklahoma State in 1960 as the only pitchers to throw CWS no-hitters.

Wood's dominating stuff was never really challenged as he overpowered a Racers team that was making its first Omaha appearance.

The junior right-hander set the CWS record for strikeouts in a nine-inning game.

Wood's bid for a perfect game ended in the eighth when his 2-2 breaking ball hit Dom Decker in his back foot. 

Murray State is the second of the 8 teams in Omaha to be eliminated. The Racers close out their historic winning season with a record of 44-17.
