About Inside UCLA
This is Brian Dohn's sixth season covering UCLA after spending 4 1/2 years covering the Dodgers for the Daily News and other Los Angeles Newspaper Group papers. He graduated from Rutgers, where the first college football game was played in 1869. Sure, the Scarlet Knights suffered for a long time, but now RU is doing what Jerseyans always thought was possible. Winning at Rutgers also proves winning is possible everywhere else in the nation, so underachieving coaches better be careful. Now, if only men's hoops can turn it around.
and for those who didn't see it, they had a great chance to win in the 7th. they were up 4-3 with two outs, we had a runner on second. we hit a grounder to second, but the second baseman's throw pulled the first baseman off the bag on what should have been the final out. the next batter, UCLA scored on a single to tie the game.
narrow victory, but we'll take it.
And just for the record, UNR has had an exceptional season so beating them is hardly a given. They swept a solid Hawaii team on the road and are highly regarded and have risen in the rankings each week.
