Quest For Bru-105: Baseball/Softball Open Thread

It's a big baseball/softball Sunday here on Bruins Naiton during the long Memorial Day Weekend. Let's start with softball. Our ladies dropped a tough game in their first match against Missouri Tigers yesterday at the Easton Stadium. They lost by a score of 1-2.

So they come back today with the proverbial backs agains the wall. They take on the Tigers today in Game 2, which starts around 12:30 p.m. It will be on ESPNU. Hopefully they can come through the first game:

If the get it done in the first game, they will play Game 3, which will start 30 minutes after Sunday's first contest. You can follow the action via the gametracker on official site.

Meanwhile, as rye noted below the baseball team will close out their season today against ASU. They evened the series last night with a big win. First pitch for that game is scheduled for 1 pm PDT. As always, you can follow along with the Bruins on GameTracker via the official site. You can also get game updates, Bruins in the pros updates, updates on UCLA commits, thoughts on rye's UCLA baseball tweeter feed.

The squeeze

my favorite play in baseball/softball.

Damn

couldn’t convert

Still 1-0

Bruins through 2 and 1/2

1-0

top of the fourth. Bruins at bat with 2 outs and nobody on.

Love My Bruins

by Bruingirl83 on May 24, 2009 1:41 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Uh-Oh

Missouri is threatening with runners at second and third and 1 out. And now we just intentionally walked the batter to load the bases for the force out and face an easier hitter

by Sideout11 on May 24, 2009 1:51 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Struck her out

Good call by Coach I. Just one more out and we are ou of this jam

by Sideout11 on May 24, 2009 1:53 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Bottom of The 4th

Bases loaded for MO. Two outs.

Love My Bruins

Love My Bruins

Out of the inning

Groundout, 6-5 — End of the 4th, still 1-0.

Let’s get some insurance runs!

by gilbert on May 24, 2009 1:56 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Seriously

They will threaten again and I don’t think my heart can handle another inning like the last with only a one run lead.

by Ryan Rosenblatt on May 24, 2009 1:58 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Cody Decker hit his 21st home run of the year

It was a 2-run shot that gave baseball a 3-1 lead in the 3rd.

by Ryan Rosenblatt on May 24, 2009 2:03 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Softball scores

UCLA scores on a throwing error on a double play attempt, leads 2-0.

by gilbert on May 24, 2009 2:06 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Woah wild throw

one out recorded but thanks to the error we avoided the dp and scored another run

by Sideout11 on May 24, 2009 2:06 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Nice!!!!!

Time to close the Tigers out and get ready for another game. Gotta get 9 more out first though.

by Ryan Rosenblatt on May 24, 2009 2:09 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

5-0 Bruins

Langenfeld driving in the runner on 2nd, top 7th

by bruinhoo on May 24, 2009 2:47 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Mizzou hit a 2 run homer and have a runner on 1st with 1 out

Come on Langenfeld! Pleaseeee don’t let them bring the tying run to the plate.

by Ryan Rosenblatt on May 24, 2009 3:08 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

She got an out

but then allowed a single to right. We’re ahead 5-2, but they have runners at the corners with the tying run coming to the plate. One more out…

by Ryan Rosenblatt on May 24, 2009 3:09 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Final

5-2 … Game 3 in about half an hour.

by gilbert on May 24, 2009 3:10 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Got 'em!

So it’ll be one game, winner to Oklahoma City.

by Ryan Rosenblatt on May 24, 2009 3:12 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

About 10 minutes until gametime

As an aside, the ability to watch these games on my cellphone is a great bit of technology.

by bruinhoo on May 24, 2009 3:39 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

The deciding game is underway

UCLA is the designated away team, batting in the top half of the inning.

by Ryan Rosenblatt on May 24, 2009 3:47 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Langenfeld came within 6 inches of a home run

the ball went off the very top of the fence for a two-out double.

by Ryan Rosenblatt on May 24, 2009 3:50 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Deep fly to left ends the inning

no runs, but the Bruins hit a couple balls hard in that first inning.

by Ryan Rosenblatt on May 24, 2009 3:53 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

2-run double by Mizzu

Runners on 2nd and 3rd. Bruins trail 0-2, 1 out, bottom 1st.

by bruinhoo on May 24, 2009 4:01 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Biiiiig strikeout for Langenfeld

2 out now with the bases still loaded

by Ryan Rosenblatt on May 24, 2009 4:04 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Ouch

Langenfeld walked the batter and forced home a run. 3-0 Mizzou.

by Ryan Rosenblatt on May 24, 2009 4:07 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Down 5-0 now in 2nd

I still believe, but it doesn’t look good.

by gilbert on May 24, 2009 4:29 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

yikes

We are getting smoked.

by Barnes2JJ on May 24, 2009 4:34 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Harrison HR

That’ll help a bit.

by jaffa on May 24, 2009 4:44 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Ouch

a lot of heartbreaks this week after high hopes with this, women’s golf, men’s and women’s tennis, and baseball

by Sideout11 on May 24, 2009 6:03 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Has UCLA softball ever lost via "mercy rule"?

I really like what I hear from Coach I, but that was surreal.

by Nestor on May 25, 2009 8:48 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yes.

I couldn’t tell you all of the occasions, but I know we got mercied last year by Arizona early in the Pac-10 season.
