While spring practice is in full swing and UCLA football’s future seems to be taking center stage on social media, a group of former Bruins are preparing to begin their journeys at the next level.
A team needs to be firing on all cylinders in order to take down a top-10 baseball squad.
But Tuesday, Bruin hitters recorded just four hits, the pitching staff allowed seven runs and the defense made three errors, tying its single-game season high.
Losses are inevitable in a 54-game regular season.
What matters is how a team responds to them.
After losing in 14 innings to San Diego on Sunday, UCLA baseball (26-6, 10-2 Big Ten) needed just seven innings to run-rule Long Beach State (12-18, 6-9 Big West) 12-1 at Jackie Robinson Stadium on Tuesday night.

The last time coach DeShaun Foster and Tino Sunseri worked in the same building, one was an NFL running back and the other was folding towels for the Carolina Panthers.
The Bruins’ offense might be sick.
After all, hitting is contagious.
Over its past four games, the unit has racked up 62 hits and 57 runs – its most hits in a four-game stretch since May 2022 – helping extend the team’s winning streak to eight games.
Fans can see talent as soon as an athlete steps on the court.
Sometimes, supporters can even imagine the hard work a player endures.
But what people never see is the mental conditioning athletes undergo en route to success.
After earning its first-ever No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament on Sunday, UCLA women’s basketball (30-2, 16-2 Big Ten) will host rounds 1 and 2 at home this weekend, and consecutive wins would send the team to Spokane, Washington, for the Sweet 16 and Elite Eight.
