Redshirt freshman outfielder Aidan Espinoza said after Tuesday’s loss in Long Beach that the Bruins will need to win on the road if they expect to find success come the playoffs.

The midweek schedule that coach John Savage once dubbed the best in the nation is coming to an end.
After their series loss to conference opponent and crosstown rival Trojans this past weekend, the Bruins will play their final nonconference midweek contest of the season before they get another chance to rise in the Big Ten standings.

The last time there was a matchup between the Bruins and the Lions, it was a dogfight.
The two’s March 25 matchup featured three lead changes, ultimately culminating in a UCLA walk-off victory at Jackie Robinson Stadium.

The San Francisco Giants celebrated the career of Brandon Crawford on Saturday at Oracle Park.
Crawford, who played in Westwood from 2006 to 2008, may be the most recognizable former Bruin shortstop in program history.

Tuesday was just the Bruins’ third time losing consecutive games this season – but the reality is, the team has dropped six of its last 11.

Many might assume that a team that lost seven players to the 2024 MLB Draft – including No. 1 overall pick Travis Bazzana – would be a shadow of its former self.

Whether the Bruins retain their top spot in the Big Ten standings will be out of their control this weekend.
No. 14 UCLA baseball (23-5, 10-2 Big Ten) will face San Diego (6-22, 3-3 WCC) in a three-game series at Jackie Robinson Stadium beginning Friday and concluding Sunday.

The Waves sent eight pitchers to the mound Tuesday, but they couldn’t subdue the Bruins’ bats.
Scoring double-digit runs for the third straight game – and 12th time this season – No.

The Bruins began the 2024 campaign ranked No. 22 in the nation by D1Baseball and climbed to No. 20 after an opening weekend sweep.
But after then-No.

Sixty-four teams qualify for the NCAA tournament every year – with berths awarded to 31 conference champions and 33 teams at-large.
The Bruins have missed the cut each of the past two seasons, but if they’re hoping to make it this time around, they’ll either have to win their conference or impress the NCAA Division I Baseball Committee.
