UCLA Baseball Drops Opener; Looks to Rebound Against Stanford

The Bruins are seeking to even up the series tonight on the road.

The UCLA Bruins baseball team dropped a disappointing contest to the Stanford Cardinal last night in Palo Alto, 5-1. UCLA (29-9; 14-5 PAC 12) mustered only three hits and scored only one run against starting pitcher, Brett Hanewich, who went the distance for the Cardinal. Hanewich flummoxed the Bruin bats all night long, striking out nine. After Stanford (18-21; 5-11 PAC 12) went up 5-1 in the fifth inning, UCLA never threatened again.

UCLA starter, James Kaprielian, had one of his worst outings as a Bruin, giving up a career-high 12 hits, and allowing six runs (five earned) in five and one-third innings.
