The nation’s best pitching staff continues to stifle Big Ten hitters.
Its weekend rotation has been excellent, but the bullpen stands out.
No. 1 UCLA baseball (34-3, 19-0 Big Ten) beat Minnesota (22-15, 5-11 Big Ten) 4-2 in Friday’s series opener, marking the 17th time this season the Bruins have held an opponent to two runs or fewer.

For the first time since February, the Bruins are looking to bounce back.
No. 1 UCLA baseball (33-3, 18-0 Big Ten) will face Minnesota (22-14, 5-10) in a three-game weekend series beginning Friday night at Jackie Robinson Stadium.
Storms move in different ways.
Sometimes they linger, stretching deep into the night.
Other times, they pass quickly and decisively.
But the Bruins proved that winning comes from both.
It’s safe to say that Roch Cholowsky is officially out of his home run slump.
The All-American junior shortstop did not leave the yard for three weeks before notching his 11th long ball of the season Sunday against the Trojans.
History and rivalry go hand-in-hand.
The Bruin-Trojan rivalry dates back decades, but the series finale carried an uncommon weight: a series sweep and the longest winning streak in program history with 23 wins in a row.
It might not have been their prettiest game, but the Bruins found a way to win once again.
They overcame four lead changes, three errors and two game-changing wild pitches to take down the Trojans and remain perfect in Big Ten conference play.
