Baseball Gets Swept on California Shores

UCLA 10, Harvard 3

In the final game, the Crimson fell victim to the longball. Birtwell didn't make it out of the third as the Bruins touched him up for five runs. Utley began the scoring with a solo shot to right in the first inning. Harvard tied it in the second on a Mager RBI single up the middle, but the Bruins sent three men home in the bottom of the second, capped by Charles Merrick's two-run double.

Birtwell left in the third after Scott's leadoff double led to another run, but freshman Kenon Ronz didn't fare much better in relief. He gave up two-run jacks to Atkins in the fourth and Shelley in the fifth. Dan Baken gave up the Bruins' fourth homer of the game before Mike Dryden and freshman T.J. Sevier cooled the offensive explosion with an inning of scoreless relief each.

UCLA's Bobby Roe (3-2) and Ryan Carter combined for fourteen strikeouts and allowed only three runs, none of them earned. The Bruins have rebounded from an 8-10 start to win their last six games.
