Honestly, if you saw this coming, you’re either a blind homer or a baseball savant.
First came #24 Mississippi State on Friday night, and Griffin Canning announced his arrival as UCLA’s ace with a 8 2/3 inning, 12 strikeout, five hit, one run outing. Tucker Forbes came in to get the last two outs of the game, but he hit the only two batters he faced, instead, loading the bases. Freshman closer Brian Gadsby came in to shut things down and secure the Bruins’ biggest win of the season thus far.
