PrintEveryone here should know by now. The 10 time NCAA champion and the 11 time national champions UCLA Bruins will be making their 23rd appearance in the college world series tonight.
The number 2 ranked Bruins (50-7) are taking on number 7 ranked two time defending champion Arizona Wildcats. The first pitch is scheduled for 6 pm PST.
Needless to say the passion bucket is going to be flowing all over Bruin Nation:

CRN, CBH, RW, LMR and all of us are going to be rooting for some great athletes gunning for Bru-103.
The game is going to be broadcast live on ESPN. You can also follow the action online here. And oh the Lakers are also going to be on tonight at the same time looking to knock off the defending champions in their sport.
So it's a big night. Let's get it started.
Fire away.
GO BRUINS.

The UCLA game is going to start very late
I just tuned in … It’s about 5:30 PT, and the previous game is only in the third inning. I see no way the UCLA game starts before 7, and it might be later than that.
Ouch
May be I will stop watching the Lakers. I think I am bringing them bad luck. What an ugly 1st quarter.
ASU trails Bama, 1-0
Bottom 6. Barring a Sun Devil’s comeback in the top of the 7th, our game is in sight.
Oh, and thanks N for reminding me to check on the Lakers. Granted, I am a Warriors’ fan, but that was something I really did not need to see. :(
ASU ties it up
It’s 1-1 in the 7th. UCLA game starts even later obviously if this game goes into extras.
3-1 ASU now
Hopefully they hang on in the bottom of the inning and end this thing.
Oh, Lakers making a run, now down 37-46
cool picture
i remember last year, Lorenzo Mata-Real, LRMAM, and Josh Shipp threw out the ceremonial first pitch at Easton Stadium for one of the last home games of the season. always cool to see athletes supporting other athletes on campus.
Game started
UA’s leadoff hitter reaches on a 2-base error by our LF (off her face/shoulder/something).
64-63 Lakers, end 3rd
for those focused on softball.
UCLA also gets its leadoff hitter to 2nd, then sacrificed to 3rd.
AK up, 1 out, runner on 3rd.
wow
What a layup by Farmar…..Lakers up 72-68 9:05 left

K Schroeder
Bunts to the pitcher throw goes down the line.
Runner at 2nd no outs.
Schroeder is bunted to 3rd. So runner on 3rd 1 out
Farmar playing well?
Tried to sneak a peak at Laker’s game. Hit hand off to commercialwith commentator
“Jordan Farmar feeling it.” What’s he up to?
sjh
Farmar
He had an amazing lay-up just before they went to commercial

Weird play
Error on Selden and the right fielder on the same play

Still 1-0
Jelly pitched herself out of a jam created by her throwing error on a play that would have ended the inning.
More errors than hits in this game.
sjh
Amazing stat
One of these teams (Arizona or UCLA) has been in the world series final every year for 21 straight years
Tim Duncan shooting 3's
When you know its just not your night.
Gasol hits 2, 95-84, 25.6 remaining. Spurs draw a 3-shot foul. now 95-87
Lakers win the West
100-92 final.
Kobe scores 39, 26(?) in the 2nd half
Farmar scores 8, with 3 assists in nearly 17 minutes of play.
Thanks for all the updates guys
The Lakers are on to the Finals and now the Bruins are 3 outs away from making it a great night!

1-0 at the end of 6
We leave two on. One hit by pitch and other walked.
Strong pitcher’s duel.
Come on Jelly—close it out
sjh
Ball game!
Looks like Jelly was fantastic again. Congrats to the girls because they’re on quite a roll.

Next game: 9pm Eastern tomorrow v. ASU
Appears to overlap with the end of the UCLA/UVa game tomorrow night.
If today was any indication
The softball game wont start until 10:30 pm eastern. I’ll be hoping that it starts late.

Arizona St. took 2 of 3 from us in the regular season
Jelly gave up 3 runs in 7 innings in the 1st game, a 3-0 Devils win. Jelly had a complete game, 5 hit shutout in the 2nd game, a 5-0 Bruin win. In the third game, Jelly didn’t start, but came in to throw 3.1 innings and didn’t give up a run in a 5-2 ASU win.
