UCLA baseball makes adjustments after rough start against UNC
It took just three games for UCLA baseball’s flaws to be exposed – and coach John Savage is happy about that. “Sometimes when you play, your weaknesses get hidden a little bit but I’d rather know where we’re at,” Savage said. “After this weekend, I think we know where we’re at.
