There was trouble brewing in the bottom of the ninth. 
Redshirt sophomore right-hander Kelly Austin was into his second inning of work, having clung onto a one-run lead his previous inning. 
The leadoff batter for the Beavers reached on an infield single.

The Beavers crossed the plate 22 times Saturday. They tallied 28 hits, breaking their all-time hit record. They smacked two home runs and blistered nine doubles. 
But when redshirt sophomore catcher Tommy Beres stepped up to the plate in the bottom half of the 10th inning, he found his team tied with the Beavers at 22 runs apiece.

No. 3 seed UCLA baseball (35-20, 19-11 Pac-12) will be participating in the first-ever Pac-12 baseball tournament in Scottsdale, Arizona, starting Wednesday.

They sustained one injury after another to the best arms in their starting rotation.

Kyle Karros said he couldn’t remember a longer stretch of time in which he hasn’t shared the diamond with his brother.
The sophomore infielder for No.

In each of the opening two frames, the Bruins batted around.
The two innings saw a combined 19 hitters come to the plate, leading to a five spot in the first inning and a four spot in the second.

A high fastball with a faint hint of arm-side run barrelled toward Bryce Matthews.
The Cougar first baseman took a stride and swung at the pitch as it rose toward his shoulder level.
