The No. 1 UCLA Bruins baseball team clinched a 6-4 victory over the Minnesota Golden Gophers at Jackie Robinson Stadium in Los Angeles on Saturday. The Bruins initially fell behind after Minnesota scored on an RBI groundout in the first inning. However, both teams remained scoreless until the fifth inning, when UCLA exploded for four runs. Redshirt junior outfielder Payton Brennan ignited the rally with a home run, followed by three additional hits that brought in three more runners. UCLA's pitching staff contributed significantly, striking out eight batters and allowing only four hits and four walks. Minnesota attempted to close the gap with a home run in the eighth inning, but UCLA maintained their lead, with junior outfielder Dean West scoring his second run of the game. The Bruins will look to complete the series sweep in the finale scheduled for Sunday at noon PT.
