The season came to a close for the UCLA Bruin baseball team last night. After falling into the loser’s bracket of the Minneapolis Regional care of an extra inning loss to the Minnesota Golden Gophers on Saturday, UCLA needed to beat Gonzaga and Minnesota yesterday in order to set up a winner-take-all meeting against Minnesota today.
It didn’t happen.
Although the Bruins were able to eliminate Gonzaga by the score of 10-4, UCLA ran out gas against a very good Golden Gopher squad, falling 13-8 in the nightcap. While the Bruins head home, Minnesota (44-13), winners of their last 13 games, moves on to the Corvallis Super Regional versus the Oregon State Beavers, in what figures to be an outstanding match up.
