UCLA Wrests Control of Bracket With 6-3 CWS Win Over TCU
In the eighth inning, UCLA head coach John Savage was ready to pull the plug on Gerrit Cole's tremendous start. "I was about to take him out with two outs in the eighth," Savage said. "He said, 'Coach, trust me, I trust you. I think I can get this guy.'" After his performance on Monday night,...
UCLA Picks Up First Ever CWS Win With 11-3 Manhandling Of Florida

UCLA Takes Down Fullerton To Avoid Elimination In 10 Inning Thriller
At least for one night, UCLA was able to get past the Fullerton hex. Down to their last out not just of the game, but of the season, the Bruins got a two run home run from Tyler Rahmatulla to save their bacon. UCLA gave that run back and eventually had to win the contest in ten innings, 11-7, in...

Regular Season Finale: Bruins Look To Send Off Seniors & Rasmussen With A W
Well I guess my lucky mojo with baseball game threads ended last night. Bruins had been 10-0 after I had started putting up these threads few weeks ago. Oh well. The silver lining here I suppose the mojo snapped before the tourney and perhaps we can start a new one all over again? Let's hope we...
UCLA Beats WSU, 6-1, For School Record 42nd Regular Season Win
Never in UCLA history has a baseball team won 42 regular season games.

Bruins Defeat Cal 8-7 Thanks To 9th Inning Dramatics
You're up and then you're down. Then you're back up and right back down again. You're down to your final out and your final strike twice. Your ace is battling himself a bit and you've hit into four double plays. That's what was facing UCLA on Friday afternoon in their Pac-10 series opener versus...
