Garcia had pitched earlier in the day and lasted just an inning at the start of third-seeded UCLA’s 12-6 season-ending loss to the sixth-seeded Seminoles.
Nickles went three for three despite colliding with the outfield wall in the second inning and staying down on the warning track for a few minutes. The collision came as Nickles raced into right-center field trying to track down Jessie Warren’s deep fly ball, which glanced off Nickles’ glove and over the wall for a two-run homer.
