Five innings in the books. 10-2 Bruins. Pettway just retired B5 in order.
He's only thrown 71 pitches so UCLA figures to keep riding Pettway as long as they can, hopefully two more innings, to keep the bullpen fresh for tonight.
In the 6th, both team benefited from double plays. It's still 10-2. Nine pitch inning for Pettway, so, at 80 pitches, he'll probably come out to pitch the B7. But first, UCLA hits in T7.
Pettway embodied the Wooden philosophy today. He was at his best when his best was needed. So happy for him after this challenging season, and after being shuffled from his Friday starter spot this weekend.
I think that they are kind of doing this on the fly as matchups emerge. When I wrote the article very early this am, eastern time, the Lubbock Tournament Hub listed both ESPNU and ESPN3 for this game.
UCLA jumps out to a 5-0 lead in T1, batting around. Now T3. Still 5-0. Pettway has only given up one hit.
JonJon Vaughns with a solo shot in T3. 6-0, Bruins.
JT Schwartz sac fly score another in T4. 7-0 Bruins.
It’s now 10-0 in T4. Bruins still threatening...
Bruins are destroying UNC pitching.
Looking good so far
UNC claws back two runs in B4. 10-2 Bruins. T5.

Pettway retires the side in order in B7.
Zach's best outing of the season right when it was needed!
Pettway retires the side in order in B8.
HAVING HIMSELF A GAME!
Bruins retired in T9. Pettway coming back out to try for the complete game.
Game over! Bru-Wins!
UCLA will play Texas Tech in about an hour . . .
Pettway earns the complete game! Nine strikeouts for Zach. Two runs on seven hits. What a game for him! No need for the 'pen!

Second game has started.
UCLA is the home team. Kyle Mora gets the start after his fine performance yesterday.
Looks like the UCLA/Texas Teach match is just streaming on ESPN. ESPNU has the Ole Miss/Southern Miss match.

Game 2: Through two innings, we have a 1-1 ballgame. Tech pitcher, a lefty, looks tough.
T3 with Mora tiring, he puts runners on the corners with one out. Out comes Savage...
Mora stays in with Chaidez warmed up in the pen. Fingers crossed...
Bad decision, Coach. Two run double on an 0-2 pitch. Bruins trail 3-1. Chaidez on to pitch.
Mora, who is throwing 90% breaking balls, tried to slip a fastball by and the Tech clean up hitter drove it to right center...
Single scores another run. 4-1 Red Raiders.
Side retired. On to B3.
