Grady Wood, a junior pitcher from Eugene, Ore. (Junction City High School), pitched a one-hit shutout to clinch the 10th straight GNAC championship for Western Oregon. Wood struck out six and walked just two while inducing 15 groundball outs and two double plays. The only hit he allowed came as a leadoff single in the fourth, and after that point Wood retired 17 of the next 18 hitters, with the only runner reaching base following a strikeout that got past the catcher.

Wood joined WOU's Josh Samter (2002) and NNU's Steven Schutte (2004) as the only pitchers in GNAC history to toss a complete-game nine-inning one-hitter. WOU's Blake Keitzman and Rye Phillips combined for a nine-inning, one-hitter in 2009. In conference games, Wood leads the GNAC in victories (6) and ERA (1.42). He has now won seven straight decisions.
