UCLA vs. Washington St. Sunday Baseball Thread: Rubber Match With The Cougs

Washington St. shut down the UCLA offense on Friday night to take Game 1 of their three-game Pac-12 set, but the Bruins bounced back yesterday with four early runs and held on to win 4-2. Now the series is tied at a game apiece, setting the stage for a rubber match today in Westwood.

The Bruins aren't just aiming for a series win, but also to maintain their spot atop the Pac-12. They're currently in a four-way tie with Oregon St., Oregon and Washington so the pressure is on to keep pace.

Cody Poteet will get the nod for UCLA and he brings a 2-1 record and 2.15 ERA into the contest. He'll be opposed by Tanner Chleborad, who is 1-2 with a 3.76 ERA.
