OMAHA, Neb. — Arkansas’ Gage Wooden pitched the third no-hitter in Males’s Faculty World Collection historical past and first in 65 years Monday, hanging out a document 19 and by no means letting Murray State come near getting successful within the Razorbacks’ 3-0 victory.
Wooden joined Jim Ehrler of Texas in 1950 towards Tufts and Jim Wixson of Oklahoma State in 1960 towards North Carolina as the one pitchers to throw MCWS no-hitters, and his protection was by no means actually challenged as he dominated a Racers staff that was making its first Omaha look.
The junior right-hander set the MCWS document for strikeouts in a nine-inning sport. His bid for an ideal sport ended within the eighth when his 2-2 breaking ball hit Dom Decker in his again foot. Wooden, who acquired a foul out and consecutive strikeouts to finish the inning, appeared skyward and gave a primal scream and did a few excessive steps as he headed to the dugout.
