OMAHA, NE ― Day 4 of the 2025 Men’s College World Series brought a 19-strikeout no-hitter and a rain postponement.
Arkansas defeated Murray State, 3-0, in an elimination game thanks to Gage Wood’s historic no-no. But the Razorbacks will have to wait to find out their opponent, as the winners’ bracket game between UCLA and LSU was suspended after three innings and will resume at 11 a.m. ET on Tuesday, June 17.
Following the completion of that game, Oregon State will face Louisville in an elimination game, then Arkansas will face the loser of the earlier game in another elimination game. The winners of the two later games will advance to the semifinals, needing to beat their opponent twice to advance.
Coastal Carolina already has clinched a spot in the semifinals with a win over Oregon State on Sunday, June 15.
Louisville vs. Oregon State prediction
Oregon State 8, Louisville 7 — How about a high-scoring game for once? Both the Beavers and Cardinals have had a few run-scoring outbursts, and the defense of both teams has left a little to be desired. Both are also low on reliable pitching after already having played two games.
Oregon State is the team with a slightly more reliable offense, though, so they’re the pick.
