Undefeated UCLA will take on Nebraska today in a doubleheader at Jackie Robinson Stadium as the two teams do their best to get games in before the rains kicks in. The Bruins sit at a perfect 6-0, while the Cornhuskers are under .500 at 3-4, but winners of three of their last four. You can read my entire series preview here.
The Bruins will start sophomore right-hander Gerrit Cole (2-0, 3.27 ERA) in game one of the double dip and the Cornhuskers will counter with a sophomore right-hander of their own, Sean Yost (1-0, 4.66 ERA). First pitch is at 2 pm PST.
In game two of the doubleheader, scheduled to start at 6 pm PST, UCLA will start another sophomore right-hander in Trevor Bauer (1-0, 3.38 ERA). Nebraska will go with a little more experience in junior right-hander Michael Mariot (0-1, 7.20 ERA).
This is your first baseball open thread of the season. You can follow along with the game on GameTracker (link included) or you can listen live from the official site with John Ramey and color men, Danny Rees and Nick Theodorou.

Seems like we're able to put pressure on Yost already
Dunlap doubled, Rahmatulla HBP, both moved up on Yost’s wild pitch. Yay.
2 outs and Krill walked so Gallego at bat.

Holy...Gallego picks up an RBI with a single.
It’s great to see the team this year making things happen even with two outs…such an improvement from last year.

Espy reached on a fielder's choice, Krill scored. 4-0 Bruins in the 1st.

Rodriguez grounds out to end the inning. Still a great start!

2-run single by Cody Keefer!
Great way to start the series, first on the board!

Bottom of the 2nd
Amaral singles but is caught stealing. Dunlap hit a triple?! C’mon Tyler, bring him home!
Nebraska pulls their starter
with 1 out in the 2nd. That’s a bullpen killer in game one of a doubleheader.

Rahmatulla brings Dunlap home, 5-0 Bruins, bottom of the second.

Yay Stevie - sacrified to bring Gallego home. 7-0 and the end of the third.
Maybe Niko made up for his error with the stolen base and the run…

About 50 Nebraska fans

Well shoot, Nebraska hits a home run. 7-1 top of the 4th.
But then Cole struck out the next two batters. What a fighter.
Back-to-back doubles by Krill and Gallego scores Krill. 10-1 Bruins.
Bottom of the fourth, one out. This is insane.
Good grief, they put in another relief pitcher.
Could they be saving some of these relievers for the next game?
by BruinIslander on Mar 5, 2010 3:53 PM PST up reply actions
Nebraska fans wondering
If they’ll have any pitchers left. Then they comment “we need to get ourselves a Gerrit Cole.”

Ties the start by the 1997 team.
