From the official site:

The UCLA baseball team will open the 2012 College World Series against Stony Brook on Friday, June 15, at 2 p.m. (PT)/4 p.m. (CT).

We can't wait! Hopefully we will witness an "improbable" run to the championship. 2010 was a lot of fun and really brought excitement back for UCLA baseball for most of us around here, given that a lot of us hardly followed the team before then.

That's mostly, or I should say entirely, due to Ryan's awesome coverage of the team, which really dwarfs anything done by UCLA itself (and for which the school owes him some gratitude, if you ask me). I love the way this team plays, scrappy and resourceful. It may just be the year of Small Ball.

Anyway, the main takeaway here is that UCLA will be the "host" on Friday, and the game will be televised on ESPN2 and ESPN3.

The next game would be on Sunday, at 2pm PT or 6pm PT depending on the outcome of the first game. You can check the rest of the schedule on the site.

As always, we will have the open thread going for the game on Friday, as well as a preview beforehand. Be there, it is going to be great!

Go Bruins!
