UCLA baseball is one win away from the biggest, brightest stage its sport has to offer.
The No. 15 Bruins will take on UTSA on June 8 in the second and potentially final game of the Los Angeles Super Regional at Jackie Robinson Stadium, UCLA’s home ballpark.
With a victory, the Bruins will win the best-of-three series and advance to the College World Series. The CWS appearance would be the sixth in program history and their first since 2013.
The Roadrunners, making their first NCAA tournament appearance in 12 years, are in their first-ever super regional after upsetting No. 2 Texas in the Austin Regional. If they rebound from Saturday’s disappointment with a win Sunday, they’ll force a decisive third game Monday, with the winner advancing to the CWS.

UCLA vs UTSA baseball super regional live updates
Sixth inning: UCLA 2, UTSA 0
UTSA still scoreless
After coming into the game, Chris Grothues retires the side, getting Norris McClure to ground into a double play and striking out Mason Lytle looking to keep UTSA without a run through five innings.
UCLA makes pitching change
With a 2-0 lead, UCLA turns to its bullpen, pulling starter Landon Stump in favor of Chris Grothues. Stumps finishes his day with four hits, five strikeouts, one walk and, for now, no earned runs in four innings.
Roch Cholowsky doubles UCLA’s lead
UCLA’s starting to find its rhythm offensively and creates a little bit of a cushion between itself and UTSA. With teammate Phoenix Call on second base, Roch Cholowsky singles to right center, pushing the Bruins’ lead to 2-0 in the fifth inning.
UCLA gets out of jam with big strikeout
Right after surrendering the lead, UTSA has an excellent opportunity to tie it up or take the lead, with runners on first and third with two outs. For the second time today, though, Jordan Ballin strikes out swinging with a runner in scoring position and the Roadrunners remain scoreless through four innings.
UCLA, Toussaint Bythewood break scoreless deadlock
With two outs and the bases empty, UCLA was looking poised to get shut out of another inning. The Bruins had other ideas. Payton Brennan hits a double to the wall in left center to keep his team alive and, for the first time today, a batter comes through with a runner in scoring position. During the next at-bat, Toussaint Bythewood rips a single to right field to bring Brennan home and give UCLA a 1-0 lead.
UTSA, UCLA scoreless through three innings
It’s still a 0-0 ballgame in Los Angeles. UTSA gets a two-out single in the bottom of the third inning, but fouls out on the next at-bat.
UCLA goes down in order
Three up and three down for the Bruins, who remain scoreless through three innings after two groundouts and a strikeout.
UTSA strands another in scoring position
UTSA’s list of missed opportunities is growing. With a runner on second base and two outs, Jordan Ballin strikes out swinging, keeping it a scoreless game heading into the third inning.
UCLA shut out in second inning
After getting the leadoff runner on base after a hit-by-pitch, the Bruins aren’t able to do anything with it. They go down on a strikeout, a fielder’s choice out at second and a pop-out to center.
UTSA leaves one in scoring position
Like UCLA, UTSA has an excellent opportunity for at least one run in the first inning after a lead-off double from Norris McClure. From there, though, the Bruins get stingy, striking out one batter and forcing another to strike out before Lorenzo Morresi hits a hard grounder along the third-base line, which Roman Martin backhands and makes an excellent throw to first to get Morresi out and end the threat.
UCLA strands two runners
UCLA has a chance to strike early with runners on first and third, but AJ Salgado strikes out swinging to leave the Bruins empty-handed heading into the bottom of the first.
