The college baseball gods must have decreed there would be drama in this series.
How else does one explain what’s unfolded atJackie Robinson Stadiumover the last two days?
In one dugout resided UCLA,the nation’s top-ranked teamthat’s goneunbeaten in the Big Ten Conference.
In the other could be found Sacramento State, a sub-.500 team from the Western Athletic Conference.
Apparently the Hornets don’t care about credentials.
One day after nearly upsetting the Bruins, they put another mighty scare into them on their home field.
“It’s college baseball,” UCLA coach John Savage said, alluding to the game’s parity and unpredictability.
The Bruinsneeded closer Easton Hawk shutting down a big threat, some clutch hitting and another Sacramento State blunder to pull out a 5-3 victory on a cold and rainy Saturday afternoon.
UCLA’s Cashel Dugger scored the go-ahead run in the bottom of the eighth inning after leading off with a single and advancing to third base on Payton Brennan’s double off the center field wall. After Jarrod Hocking popped up to shallow right field, Dugger came home on a wild pitch.
