PrintHere we go.
Bruins are taking on the Titans tonight at Goodwin Field (
The situation is simple. Bruins have to win if they want to stay alive and move on the Super Regionals.
The offense has been clicking this post season. Let’s hope they can put everything together with some clutch pitching and great defense:

Not much else to say at this point except for PLAY BALL.
GO BRUINS.

Brian Wilson gets the nod for the Titans
He threw 111 pitches in his start Friday night, his first start of the year.

mid 1st, 0-0
Bruins led off the game as the designated visiting team. Leadoff hitter reached 1st, next 3 recorded outs.
Lucked out here
UCLA pitchout – catcher overthrows the 2nd baseman, Tim Murphy (playing CF) gets the overthrown ball and throws out the CSUF runner attempting to take third base on the error. 2 down in the bottom of the 1st
Wish I could watch
Even if I were inclined, if last night’s game is any guide, the bar w/ESPNU would close/last call around the 5th inning.
try living on the east coast
Nothing like going to bed at 3:30am, only to wake up for a 9am review course on Virginia criminal procedure.
I did not mention this yesterday
but why does the UCLA official already list the the NCAA Super Regionals under “Next Event”?
busy few minutes here
Elimination game in the NHL Finals (best pro postseason series, imo), UCLA baseball playing an elimination game, and this reading/homework bit.
I don't know about you guys
But I’m following on the audio feed, and the sound of an HR is so decidedly different for college. Just a small thing…
Now 2nd and 3rd on a double off the wall
Runner had to hold to see if it would be caught, otherwise would have scored
Gotta have a quick hook
can’t let what happened last night happen again

off topic, but in NHL news
Pittsburgh fights off stanley cup elimination in triple-OT. One of the best games I have ever seen.
good, I'm sick of the Red Wings already

Red Wings still up 3-2,
but the series goes back to Pittsburgh for game 6.
A Sudden death/elimination game in the cup finals is about as good as it gets, imo (disregarding UCLA/A’s/49ers playing for a title).
What's frustrating
Is that we blew a good chance for a stop. CSF alway seems to strike back, and we need to break that cycle.
It seems to me that
our pitching is giving away much more than CSUF batters are taking for themselves.
This has been a frustrating game
Come on guys, let’s get it going.
Their pitcher throws 21 of 26 pitches for strikes
Ours threw 12 straight balls.
Personally
I’d just hit the ump with a pitch after that. What BS!
That ump
is awful. HBP, ball 4. Both taken away by the ump.
Well
1-0 pitch hit him, ump decided batter leaned into (poor call, he was leaning away). Made him come back. He took a borderline 3-1 pitch and walked about 5-10 feet before being told it was strike 2. Struck out swinging on the next pitch. The HBP call was utter BS.
I could never be a manager
I’d have totally lost it at the ump. Whether it’s an elimination game or not.
RBI single by Curtis
Murphy scores. Curtis takes second on the throw.
Imagine what would be
if the ump didn’t blow that HBP call.
Murphy scores
and then goes straight to the pen to warm up.
Stinks that it'll be 6-7-8
in the top of the 9th. Of course Murphy spearheaded the last Bruin rally. Just got to make sure they don’t score here. UCLA scored enough to win if CSUF didn’t score in the bottom of the 8th.
Meh
1-out walk. Come on, let’s nip this rally right here.
That "pop up" went to the base of the wall in deep center
by Give me a B... on Jun 2, 2008 11:20 PM PDT up reply actions
How did that ball travel that deep?
Looked like Murph would have to go in for the catch.
Put your rally caps on
I’ve went and grabbed my rally monkey, hoping his magic transfers over to a college baseball team.
That Murphy kid is a MONSTER
Boy do I love the way that kid plays. Down to our last out man. We need a hits man. C’mon Jermaine.
Yeah, let 'em off the hook.
Oh well, congrats team on a good season.

Great
The game-winner was that bases loaded walk. 12 straight balls was awful.
That sucks
The blown hbp really hurt. Most schools don’t have 3 NCs, much less 3 within a couple of months. It’s still great to be a Bruin.
Great game
unfortunately we got the short end of the stick… a few pitching errors plus a few bogus calls (hbp, strikes) but couldn’t have asked more from the Bruins against a talented CSUF team in an elimination game. Gotta give it to our boys for a competative game and season! Go Bruins!
A disappointing season
there is no other way to put it. This team underachieved. They played solidly this weekend and showed they had the talent to play with one of the nation’s top teams, but errors, walks and mental mistakes killed them. I’ll have a season review later in the week and I’ll take a look at what to watch for in the offseason. What I do know now is Crawford and Murphy are both gone next season.
Thursday is the draft so you may want to check on how the Bruin recruits fare in the draft. Some names to keep an eye on: Gerrit Cole, Tyler Chatwood, Cutter Dykstra, Clark Murphy, Chris Amezquita and Tyler Rahmatulla.
