Hitting improves but Bruins lose third straight to open Dodgertown Classic

Something changed in the seventh inning for Gerrit Cole.

A frozen rope to right field that nearly missed the gap was the precursor of a four-run inning to help the Georgia Bulldogs defeat the Bruins at Jackie Robinson Stadium 6-2 Friday.

The fact that the ball was even hit into fair territory was a shock for most fans and scouts in attendance, the scouts nearly outnumbering the fans. The UCLA junior pitcher was, in a word, perfect for six and a third innings, just as he was for six and two thirds innings a week ago at Nebraska.

For three UCLA football players, it’s music to their ears.

Sophomore defensive end Iuta Tepa, freshman cornerback Anthony Jefferson and freshman linebacker Jared Koster were each granted a substitute year of eligibility Thursday.
