Apparently, having all the ESPN offerings on Sling Orange and Blue, as well separately subscribed ESPN Plus, does not give me the privilege to watch games on ESPNU. But, if I wanted to, I could watch every other college baseball game streaming on ESPN3.

?????

ESPN can go ____ itself. Listening to Tim Wilhelm.

Go Bruins.

Apparently, you need the Sling Orange Sports Extra package for an extra $11 per month to get ESPNU included.

Yeah, I know. I though ESPN Plus would be a "gap-filler for all ESPN content but that is not the case. It's still bullcrap. I plan to add the package this fall so I can get the Pac-12 Network for football.

B1 with UCLA as the "home" team. Kevin Kendall singles. Moves to second on a ground out. And scores on a double by Matt McLain. UCLA leads 1-0.

McLain advances to third on a wild pitch in the dirt.

Runner picked off first base. Ground out scores a UNC run. And then the side retired on another ground out. We have a 1-1 tie. Going to B2.

Heels retired in T3. One out single wiped out by a line out double play to first.

Bruins go in order in B3. Punctuated by a very emphatic called third strike on the paint on Mclain for the third out. You could hear the ump on Tim Wilhelm's call.

Lead-off walk followed by one out single to left, error on Kendall mishandling the ball. Heeles have runners on second and third with one out. Nervous time. Mora up in the 'pen.

Whoa! Big strike out swinging for Jesse! Two outs. Savage comes out to talk to the team.

UCLA is in trouble. Love is cruising right now. Two outs quickly in B4. He has retired nine straight Bruins.

Make that 10 straight. UCLA trails 3-1. Going to T5.

OK, nice. Bergin retires the side in order. Let's get those UCLA bats going!

Sigh. Side retired in order. Cardenas gave one a ride to center field for the third out.

Infield single (throw pulled Schwartz off the bag) and a double to the left center gap and the Bruins are in trouble again in T5. UNC runners on second and third with one out. Still 3-1 but in danger.

Savage to the mound. That's it for Jesse. Chaidez comes in to pitch.

Gets a ground out. Runners cannot advance. Two down.

Strikeout swinging! Chaidez is money! 27 innings pitched and only three earned runs, for a 1.00 ERA.

Ugh. Chaidez walks a guy with two outs on a full count and then gives up an 0-2 home run. 5-2 UNC.

Rajcic records two outs sandwiched around a single and, although it was a bit nervy with two on and two out, UCLA gets out of the inning. B* UCLA trails by two runs, 5-3.

Matt McLain leads off B8 with a single. UNC bullpen has been inconsistent this season . . .

Schwartz gets ahold of one but lines out right to the right fielder.

Cuellar doubles and UNC with a new picther. 2nd and 3rd one out. Wild pitch scores a run and then Perez strikes out. Two outs with Cuellar on third. Another pitching change.
