No. 1 UCLA baseball ignited in their first game of their series against Maryland with a 12-2 victory in seven inning at Jackie Robinson Stadium in Los Angeles on Friday.
The Bruins batters got back on track after their struggles against Pepperdine with a strong showing to get a win over the Terrapins in the series opener. UCLA used two arms in the game with junior right-handed pitcher Logan Reddemann pitching six of the seven innings and getting all seven strikeouts, while allowing eight-hits and two runs against 26 batters faced.
UCLA's bats were on fire in the bottom of the first with an explosive five-run inning. The Bruins got on the board just four batters into the game. The UCLA offense didn't let up either, with a grand slam by Cashel Duggar which immediately put the pressure on the Terrapins.
The Bruins batters cooled off in the following innings, but Reddemann remained poised on the mound. The veteran pitcher allowed five hits and a run in the next three innings, to keep the Bruins ahead 5-1 as they waited for their bats to heat back up.
The answer came easier than expected as Maryland walked Dean West with the bases loaded in the bottom of the fifth to get UCLA their sixth run of the game and put them up by five. The Bruins weren't able to take advantage of the bases remaining loaded though and left three runners on base to close out the inning.
Reddemann pitched his last inning in the sixth and started off hot with two outs. He then allowed three hits and Maryland's second run of the game to cut their lead to four. Reddemann was able to close out the frame with a fielders choice.
Left-handed pitcher Ian May came in for relief and allowed a hit and a walk in top of the inning. The Bruins offense then came in a flurry as five hits, a batter hit by a pitch and a wild pitch would lead to six runs for a 10-run advantage to close out the game.
The Bruins will play their second game of the series at Jackie Robinson Stadium on Saturday with an anticipated start time 2 p.m. PT.
