Timely Hitting & Some Help From USC Lead UCLA To 8-4 Victory
Coming into Friday night's Pac-10 opener, UCLA had not scored six or more runs in consecutive games all season. With that came a disappointing 9-7 record and questions about what happened to the team who were runners up at the College World Series last season. Whether Friday night changes anything...
UCLA Breaks Out The Bats In 10-2 Win Over St. Mary's
For only the third time in 13 games this season, UCLA scored more than four runs and they broke that four-run barrier in the first inning as the Bruins found themselves a bit of an offense in a 10-2 win over St. Mary's on Saturday afternoon at Jackie Robinson Stadium. A six-run first inning got...
Pitching Sensational Again As UCLA Tops USF 4-1
So Trevor Bauer couldn't match Gerrit Cole's complete game from the day before, but he was still fantastic and the bullpen finally got their first work of the season as they backed Bauer up to lead UCLA to a 4-1 win over San Francisco at Jackie Robinson Stadium. Impending rain moved the start of...
Gerrit Cole Tosses Complete Game Shutout To Lead UCLA Past USF 1-0
It's no secret that UCLA is going to lean on their two aces this season, Gerrit Cole and Trevor Bauer, and it took all of one game for one of those two to throw the rest of the team on his back and hand the team a win. Cole threw a shutout, allowed only four hits, struck out 11 and walked just one...

It was four in the first two innings. Then there was a stretch of seven straight at one point. It finished with 15 total. Gerrit Cole was absolutely dominant in striking out Texas A&M Corpus Christi Islanders, giving them no chance and sitting down half of the 30 batters he faced by way of...
UCLA Defeats Nebraska In The 9th For Historic Win
It's easy to show up, play well and win. Teams do it all the time. The ability to pull out out a win in a game that you play poorly in is something that separates the average teams from the good teams and that's what UCLA did on Saturday to become the best ever UCLA team in the early going. The...
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
The last time UCLA won their first six games of the season was back in 1997 when they won their first seven and eventually went on to play in the College World Series. Of course, you can't really put too much into six games. Six games is only a tick below 11% of the team's games and the competition...
