B.B. Bates, Andrea Harrison and Devon Lindvall boosted the Bruins (48-11) this past weekend in Oklahoma City with power and defense from the outfield. Harrison has been on a tear all tournament. Bates had a huge 2 run HR against the Bulldogs and it was spectacular defense from Lindvall in outfield that helped preserved Bruins 5-2 win over Georgia. Now they meet their toughest challenge yet as they take on arch nemesis Arizona Wildcats (52-12) in the championships series.

This is essentially the matchup of UCLA v. Kentucky in basketball. Bruins have 10 titles and the (Arizona) Wildcats have 8. Although the Wildcats hold an 8-4 advantage all-time in the WCWS against UCLA. The Bruins lead the all-time series 68-51 and have won seven of the last 10 against the Wildcats. The best 2-3 series begins tonight. The first pitch is scheduled for 5 am PST. You should be able to track the action on ESPN2HD and online at ESPN3.com.You can also follow via Gametracker and live audio on UCLABruins.com. Let's hope the Bruins can bring this home.

GO BRUINS.
