Late-inning runs – particularly in a seventh-inning comeback – proved to be the difference for the Bruins on their first two-win day of the season. “We call them Dirty Dubs – whatever it takes to win,” said coach Kelly Inouye-Perez.
Hitting was the name of the game for the Bruins to bring their winning streak to eight Friday night. No. 3 UCLA softball (35-4, 11-3 Pac-12) scored double-digit runs in five innings for an 11-0 victory against Oregon State (11-22-1, 2-11-1) thanks to small adjustments and big swings in game two of the home series.
