The Weakly Bruin - UCLA Geezerville Edition - Volume 5

Well, another lazy Sunday evening rolls around, but it's a special Sunday and your mom wouldn't want any laziness. Our baseball team wasn't lazy last night, going 17 innings for the win.

And that's the news.  Sorry, Bruin brothers and sisters, but that's all the time we have (except for the kitty video, with thanks to JC Elliott.
