Coach John Savage’s three College World Series teams were anchored by future MLB pitchers.
The Bruins run-ruled the Dirtbags in seven innings at Jackie Robinson Stadium about a month ago.
But in their rematch Tuesday at Blair Field in Long Beach, California, UCLA’s offense scored its fewest runs since April 18.
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.
John Savage’s ability to develop pitchers is arguably what gave him a career in collegiate baseball.
His first job with a Power Five program was as a pitching coach at USC from 1997 to 2000, developing future Big League arms like Barry Zito and Mark Prior.
It’s been 10 years since the Bruins and Trojans both reached the 30-win mark in a single season.
Following USC’s win over Cal State Northridge on Tuesday, both teams eclipsed the mark with double-digit games remaining – making this year’s crosstown rendition arguably the most competitive in years.
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.
