Maya Brady had to wait a little bit, but the Pac-12 player of the year entered the top 10 on UCLA’s all-time hits list in the fifth inning on a game-winning single up the middle to give the Bruins a decisive 9-1 run-rule win over Grand Canyon University in the Los Angeles Regional Final.
It was UCLA’s second win against Grand Canyon this weekend, with the Bruins also run-ruling the Lopes 9-0 on Friday in the tournament’s opening game.
“We knew that the run-rule on Friday didn’t mean anything, we were just ready to play,” UCLA coach Kelly Inouye-Perez said.
