UCLA vs. California Sunday Baseball Open Thread: The Rubber Match

UCLA bounced back from Friday night's disappointing loss against the Bears (14-9, 4-1) by breaking through in the second game yesterday afternoon. Thanks to another strong outing by Junior right-hander Nick Vander Tuig and some timely hitting UCLA (16-4, 4-1) took the second game of this series by a score of 8-3.

Bruins will try to win the rubber match this afternoon with Sophomore Grant Watson (4-0, 1.10 ERA). It appears that the Bears have not announced a starter for this game yet. Hopefully the Bruins can sustain the offensive spark from yesterday afternoon to give Watson enough run support to win this series.
