Once again a huge Saturday of action in Bruin Nation.
You can start the day by tracking the men's golf team's quest for Bru-103 out at Kampen Course in West Lafayette, Indiana (Purdue University for those who are wondering). Apparently you can watch the action via a link in the official site here. You can also track the scores online here.
Then all of our eyes shift a little down South to Oklahoma City where the softball team is going to try to bounce back from last night's loss against the winner of Florida v. Virgina Tech game this evening sometime around 4 pm PST:

Again the game according to ESPN will be on sometime around 4 pm PST and will be broadcast live on the mothership. I am sure you can also track it via the official site here.
Then the night will end with the baseball team taking on the Titans on their home turf (behind the Orange Curtain) starting at 8 pm PST. That game will be broadcast live on ESPNU . As always you can follow the action live here.
So there you go. You know what to do.
I do have one note to get off my chest before I sign off in this post ...
GOOOO LAKERS!!! BEAT THE CELTICS!!!
And now ...
Swing away.
GO BRUINS.

Wild Swings
We should probably expect more of the same (wild swings).
Chappell has finished 8, Flores has finished 9, Francis and Leslie have finished 10, Lee has finished 11. That means that there are still 42 holes left to play. A lot can happen.
Flores had 4 birdies and 1 bogie on front 9- had not shot less than 3 over the first 3 days- hope he can keep it going.
Go Bruins !!

66- Scoring
I don’t know if this will help with the exotica of NCAA golf scoring. Full disclosure in advance- I was a poli sci major, so hopefully the math works.
There are 5 golfers on each team. The four low scores each day are used to determine the total score for the team for that day.
On day 1, Chappell was -3, Flores, Francis and Leslie were each +4. Lee’s +7 gets thrown out. The team total vs. par is therefore -3+4+4+4= +9, which equals 297 (par for 4 golfers on par 72 course would be 288).
On day 2, Lee led the team at even par, Chappell and Francis were each 1 over, and Flores was +3. Leslie’s plus 8 gets thrown out. The team total vs. par is 0+1+1+3= +5.
On day 3, Chappell was -4, Leslie was +2, Flores was +4, and Lee and Franchis were each +8. One of the +8’s gets thrown out. The team total vs. par is -4+2+4+8= +10.
Today, Chappell, Francis and Leslie were all +4. Flores was +6. Lee’s +8 gets thrown out. The team total vs. par is +4+4+4+6= +18.
For the four days, total score vs. par is +9+5+10+18= +42.
This was a real team effort. Even though Lee had the highest score in 3 of the 4 rounds, he led the team on day 2. Without him, we would be watching some team in red hoist the trophy.

Very Disappointing
I hate the Gators. Almost as much as SUC. It pains me to have lost to them twice in hoops and now in softball. Their fans are the most obnoxious, cockiest that I know of this side of SUC. I could hear one of them screaming “waaaaaaaaaaaa” when the coach was clarifying the strike call to overrule the HBP. Typical
As far as our play, very disappointed that we couldn’t sacrifice runners over. Is this the players or the coaching? Are we still getting the players we once did? Florida had numerous players from California—I think half of their team was from SoCal.
What also disappointed me, especially in the late innings of ASU, was poor plate discipline. The Lady Bruins were striking out on pitches well outside the zone, especially in the late innings.
We outhit both ASU and Florida but coldn’t manufacture any runs. Errors hurt too. Bottom line, one run in the CWS will not get it done.
At least we got 103 in golf!
Here’s to hoping that baseball digs deep against a tough CSUF squad they have had trouble with of late.

10-3 UCLA, middle of the 5th inning
Fullerton stranded a runner at 3rd base

11-3
RBI single, bases still juiced. Kind of liked the symmetry of 10-3 on a night we won #103, but I’ll take 11 and more. Like to see the Titans burn their bullpen going into tomorrow.

Nice win, Bruins!
Hoo, can the Cavs knock out CSUF tomorrow?

They have a fair shot
I am not sure who UVa will have available to start tomorrow afternoon, so can’t really say how well the matchup will be. I would tend to give CSUF the edge at first glance, though this game does not bode well.

Pat McAnaney appears the likely UVa starter
He is the Hoos’ normal #3 starter, though he has been lit up in recent outings (last 3 starts: 0-3, 17er, 20h in 10 2/3 ip), so I would imagine some hesitation on O’Connor’s part in sending him to the mound.
Matt Packer would seem to be the best bet, having been introduced into the rotation late in the season with some success (8g/2gs, 3er in his last 19.1 ip). His appearance in Friday night’s game (picking up the loss, allowing an unearned run in 2 1/3 ip) would seem to preclude his getting the start in the early Sunday game though. Jeff Lorick is another possibility, but like McAnaney has struggled recently (11 er in his last 4 appearances – 10 ip).

Confirmed re. McAnaney starting v. CSUF
does not leave much pitching for the nightcap, if they make it.

Congrats
Props to the Men’s Golf and Baseball teams for getting it done!
Wish I could say the same for softball. I’ll have an update hopefully within the week. For now, here are some photos from Oklahoma City.
