The UCLA baseball team has advanced in the winner's bracket after earning victories in the College World Series against Florida (11-3) on Saturday and TCU (6-3) on Monday. Trevor Bauer struck out 11 on Saturday, and Gerrit Cole notched 13 strikeouts in eight innings on Monday, as each sophomore right-hander notched his 11th win of the year.
The Bruins (50-14) have reached the 50-win mark for the first time in school history and will play either TCU or Florida State on Friday, June 25 at 1:30 p.m. PT/3:30 p.m. CT at Omaha's Rosenblatt Stadium. UCLA must defeat either TCU on Friday or (if the Bruins lose Friday) on Saturday to advance to the College World Series' championship series (best-of-three format, June 28-30).
Go Bruins!
