We're no match for the Bruins and they take the second game of the series 7-2.  We'll try to salvage at least 1 game at 3:00 later today.  5 Hoosier pitchers gave up 10 hits and 6 BB.  6 of the 10 were for extra bases - 3 doubles and 3 HR.  On the flip side, UCLA's starter pitched the whole game and we managed just 4 hits.

UCLA has always been good they have one of the best assistants to play the game loved watching Fernandez on the olympic teams.

UCLA sweeps the series winning today 4-0.  Sadly, only 1 of the UCLA runs was earned as we committed 3 errors.  Troutt and Mannon held UCLA to 6 hits but sloppy fielding in the 4th was our undoing.  We managed just 3 hits today after getting just 4 on Saturday. 

We're back in Bloomington this week hosting Butler on Wednesday evening and PUke next weekend.
