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.
Enjoy the games. If you are tracking the scores, please consider posting them on game threads here so rest of us can follow along on our phones. Fire away.

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

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

Out of the inning
Groundout, 6-5 — End of the 4th, still 1-0.
Let’s get some insurance runs!

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.

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.

Woah wild throw

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…

About 10 minutes until gametime
As an aside, the ability to watch these games on my cellphone is a great bit of technology.

Game/Season over for the Lady Bruins
1-9 defeat via the mercy rule.

Has UCLA softball ever lost via "mercy rule"?
I really like what I hear from Coach I, but that was surreal.
