With the Pac-12 championship on the horizon, the Bruins will begin their quest for their sixth title in program history this weekend.
Third basemen Roch Cholowsky sent a home run — his second of the game — deep into the night sky.
The freshman’s first long ball of the night tied the game in the fourth – and the next gave the Bruins a two-run lead in the bottom of the eighth.
Strikeouts and run prevention typically go hand in hand.
But not for the Bruins Saturday.
Sophomore right-hander Michael Barnett struck out Arizona State designated hitter Jacob Tobias swinging on a breaking ball in the dirt in the top of the first.
With runners in scoring position, the Bruins were continuously unable to send one in against the Sun Devils.
UCLA baseball (13-22, 6-13 Pac-12) fell 5-3 to Arizona State (18-21, 8-11) in the series’ first game at Jackie Robinson Stadium on Friday.
Freshman catcher Cashel Duggar smoked a low offspeed pitch down the first-base line with two runners on.
Rather than escaping the infield for a hit, the ball was cleanly picked at first base, turning a hard-hit ball into an inning-ending 3-6-1 double play.

A road victory was elusive for more than five weeks.
While Loyola Marymount is less than ten miles from Westwood, the Bruins’ win over the Lions broke their seasonlong road losing streak last Tuesday.
Jackie Robinson Stadium’s outfield wall is littered with coach John Savage’s accomplishments.
The scoreboard’s right side lists his Pac-12 titles – 2011, 2012, 2015 and 2019 – and the left lists his College World Series appearances – 2010, 2012 and 2013.
