The UCLA baseball team (30-14, 14-7 PAC 12) is in the midst of a four game losing streak, the longest of the season for the Bruins. It won’t get any easier for UCLA this weekend, as the Bruins face the Washington Huskies (23-20, 13-8 PAC 12) in Seattle.
Last week, the Bruins were not really competitive and were swept by the Arizona Wildcats, who parlayed that sweep into a projected spot in the postseason (according to D1Baseball.com). This weekend, the Huskies will look do do the same.
Washington’s team this year reminds me a lot of the UCLA squad last season, who were 24-20 (13-8 PAC 12) with three series left in the 2017 season and had to win a lot in May in order to reach the 30 game threshold and barely qualify for a postseason spot.
