OKLAHOMA CITY — UCLA‘s run at the Women’s College World Series ended Sunday, two innings after the Bruins and slugger Megan Grant were able to extend it.
Laura Mealer‘s bases-loaded, walk-off single to right field in the bottom of the ninth inning propelled Tennessee to a 5-4 win and a semifinal meeting with Texas at 9 a.m. PDT Monday.
The Volunteers (47-16) were able to do what UCLA could not in the ninth: Deliver with the bases loaded. The Bruins got singles from Savannah Pola and Jordan Woolery followed by an international walk to Grant.
