UCLA baseball prepares for a moment of opportunity at the College World Series. The Bruins, after beating Murray State, face LSU with a chance to move to the semifinals. A win over LSU gives UCLA a strong chance to reach the CWS finals and play a three-game series for the national championship.

Murray State and No. 15 UCLA saw their first action of the 2025 Men's College World Series on Saturday, where the former’s ongoing Cinderella story hit a bit of a snag in Game 3 after the Bruins’ 6-4 win.

AJ Salgado hits a two-run double and Michael Barnett holds Murray State to three hits and a run in UCLA's 6-4 win at the Men's College World Series.

In the midst of a massive week for the Bruins, sophomore Roch Cholowsky won the Brooks Wallace Award as the nation's top shortstop.
