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.

The junior right-hander authors the third no-hitter in CWS history and the first in 65 years, setting the CWS record for strikeouts in a nine-inning game in a 3-0 win in an elimination game.
