Baseball prepares for nonconference play against Long Beach State
After losing a series to California last weekend, coach John Savage addressed his team and told them they needed to become a completely different team.

Baseball loses series for first time in season, falls to Golden Bears
In an unassuming, low-scoring weekend, the Bruins had the final game and the series in the bag with two frames remaining.

Baseball wins series against ASU, despite getting shutout in last game
After scoring 12 runs the day before, the Bruins couldn’t even reach third base on Sunday.
