After Arkansas starting pitcher Gage Wood threw the third no-hitter in College World Series history with a record-breaking 19 strikeouts to boot, many Razorback fans thought the day couldn’t get any better.
The Diamond Hogs advanced in the loser’s bracket, awaiting the winner of last night’s LSU vs UCLA matchup. There was a lot of Arkansan chatter about which team would be the better matchup for the Razorbacks for a Tuesday night elimination game. Many hoped for a high-scoring, lengthy affair that would deplete both pitching staffs. Last night’s events ended up being even more expedient for Arkansas.
