The UCLA Bruin baseball team (21-6, 7-3 Pac-12) lost a tense, tight game last night to the Stanford Cardinal, by the score of 3-2. UCLA will try to even the series today, while Stanford will seek the series win, which would likely make the Cardinal the new #1 when next week’s rankings come out, regardless of what happens tomorrow. First pitch is at 2:05 pm PT.
Stanford got got on the board early, dinging UCLA starter Zach Pettway with a solo home run in the bottom of the first inning. As he has done in recent starts, Pettway then settled in a had a very nice game, throwing 72⁄3 innings and only allowing two runs.
