Well, I said that this game worried me in the article and, sure enough, here we are in the top of the 8th inning and the Bruins trail 3-2. They had bases loaded with no outs in the sixth inning, but only scored one run, stranding three.

Great preview and spot on prediction for tonight’s game

Ha. Thanks, 44. Wish I was wrong. Hoping Pettway gets healthy soon.

Walk, sac bunt, fielder's choice, and an RBI single manufacture another run for USF. The Dons extend their lead to 4-2. Still top 8.

Bruins strand the bases loaded again in the B8. Kendall went down swinging on a full count. Sigh. Still 4-2 Dons. Top 9 . . .

Jeez. The Dons plate two more runs in T9, keyed by a Matt McLain throwing error. B9, Bruins trail 6-2 and need a big rally in their last AB.

Any that's the game. Bruins fall 6-2 to the Dons. UCLA needs to bounce back tomorrow.

Gah. Not the start we were hoping for. Sounds like Karros was ok in his first start, 3ER in 5 IP, though the bullpen wasn't real solid after him, but the lack of clutch hitting was a bigger problem, and the leadoff spot had an awful line (0 for 5, 2 K, 6 LOB). Can't keep leaving the bases full. Hopefully this is a wakeup and the bats will bounce back today.

Great preview, Orlando. Thanks!!

Bats were better on Saturday in the 8-2 win, but still left 13 on base! Bullpen was shaky too but the game was in hand by then. Bergin was masterful!
