After beating Baylor to keep the season alive this afternoon, the UCLA Bruins baseball team (50-9) needed a second win on tonight over Loyola Marymount to extend the season for at least one more day. The Bruins delivered, prevailing over the Lions (34-24), by the score of 6-1.
The two teams will play one more in a winner-take-all contest Monday night at 7 pm PT.
In a bit of a surprise move, UCLA Head Coach John Savage started freshman Nick Nastrini, who missed the bulk of the season with thoracic outlet syndrome and had not pitched in a game since February at Cal State Northridge.
