UCLA baseball prepares for a moment of opportunity at the College World Series. The Bruins, after beating Murray State, face LSU with a chance to move to the semifinals. A win over LSU gives UCLA a strong chance to reach the CWS finals and play a three-game series for the national championship.

Arizona starter Smith Bailey held that 3-1 lead until the seventh inning, when Louisville led off with a Garret Pike double and bunt single from Neighbors. Bailey was relieved by Garrett Hicks, who allowed a sacrifice fly by Lucas Moore.
