The number four was unlucky for UCLA on Tuesday, as the Bruins coughed up four unearned runs in the fourth inning, losing to the UCSB Gauchos 7-5. The loss adds to the struggles the team has faced on the road, and serves as another missed opportunity to gain a victory over a mediocre opponent. With […]

There was only one goal for the UCLA baseball team this weekend: to sweep North Carolina State at home. The Bruins fell just short of accomplishing their goal, winning the first two games 8-6 and 12-5 before dropping the third 9-6.

Take a look at the current standings, and you’ll see Wildcats and Bears at the top, which doesn’t seem all too odd until you notice Cougars and Bruins near the bottom.
