Trump cards continue to blaze
The UCLA baseball team is quickly becoming the safest bet on campus.
Guess that's what holding two aces will do for a team.
Sophomore starting pitchers Gerrit Cole and Trevor Bauer threw back-to-back 15-strikeout performances this weekend, leading the Bruins to wins in their first two games of the Whataburger Classic in Texas.
Cole allowed two runs on five hits in an 11-3 win over Texas A&M Corpus Christi, and his 15 strikeouts give him 41 in 25.2 innings.
Bauer then matched Cole's feat with 15 K's in No. 15 UCLA's 5-2 win over Mississippi State on Saturday. Bauer threw 70 of his 110 pitches for strikes and allowed three hits in eight innings, lowering his ERA to 2.38, .28 behind Cole's 2.10.
Latest news today: UCLA defeated Oklahoma 5-2 to move to 13-0, with Niko Gallego stealing home in the top of the 9th.
Wow, back to back 15 K's! Those are some stud pitchers. Go Bruins!
Bruins now dominant force in Pac-10 that used to belong to SUC a few years back. Rest in peace Rod Dedeaux.
