Bruins Get To 10-0 With Help From Highlanders
Garett Claypool had a solid start and the bullpen got back to their excellent form, but for the first time all season, the offense was missing.

UCLA Defeats Nebraska In The 9th For Historic Win

Bruins Sweep Doubleheader From Huskers To Improve To 8-0
With rain in the forecast for Saturday and Sunday, UCLA and Nebraska altered the schedule of their three-game weekend schedule to play a doubleheader on Friday and ensure that they play at least two games. All that meant for UCLA is that they would get to 8-0 a day sooner. That 8-0 start is the...
A Perfect Record and Near Perfect Play For UCLA To Begin Season

Amaral Leads UCLA To 14-5 Win, Completing Perfect Weekend
The UCLA offense showed no sign of slowing down as they scored double digit runs for the third time in three games this year to beat Cal St. Northridge, 14-5, in the final game of the MLB Urban Invitational. Northridge gave the Bruins a scare early on, jumping out to a 2-0 and 4-1 lead, but the...
UCLA Taken To Woodshed By Arizona
It started in the second inning and carried through the ninth. From start to finish Arizona was the better team and the 19-5 final score was a very accurate assesment of the game at Jackie Robinson Stadium today.
