Bruins overcome slow start, lead Sun Devils 39-29 at the half

As it has been prone to do, the UCLA men’s basketball team fell behind early to an inferior Pac-10 opponent.

As they’ve also been prone to do, the Bruins stormed back. They head into the half time locker room for the second to last time at the “old” Pauley Pavilion leading Arizona State 39-29. But this isn’t just any inferior opponent. It’s the Sun Devils, who currently sit in 10th place in the Pac-10 standings, 2.5 games behind Oregon State.

Bruin baseball gets past Dons 4-1, improves to 2-0

Clouds hung over Jackie Robinson Stadium on Saturday, threatening a rainstorm and stopping play in the fourth inning.

After San Francisco sophomore Stephen Yarrow singled to left field in the top of the ninth inning, both the odds that the UCLA baseball team would hold on to its 4-1 lead and the chances that the rain would hold off looked slim.

Enter UCLA’s true freshman closer Nick Vander Tuig in his first appearance as a Bruin. Couple that with a UCLA victory courtesy of a Vander Tuig save and a torrential downpour all coming within minutes of each other and the Bruins were able to escape with a 4-1 win.
