Yesterday was a long, long day of baseball, but in the end, all was well for UCLA. They won a 15-inning marathon to start the day then rode a gem by Nick Vander Tuig to a win to jump out to a perfect 2-0 start in Pac-12 play. Today, they will go for the sweep of Washington and the perfect beginning to their Pac-12 title defense.

Grant Watson will get the start for UCLA, which is good by the Bruins. He's been their best pitcher in the first month of the season, compiling a 3-0 record and 1.35 ERA. Washingto counters with Jared Fisher, who has only throw 7.1 innings this season and has allowed three earned runs.
