UCLA's bats, which were strangely silent in the previous series against Arizona State, blasted 28 hits and 28 runs at Washington's shell-shocked Dawgs to sweep the weekend series. That's four in a row for the Bruins, who next face UCI's Anteaters in Irvine, Tuesday.
Who can explain the mystery of batting slumps? Certainly not me. But whatever becalmed the Bruins in Tempe obviously didn't make the trip to Seattle. (I suspect it was the Sun Devils' 3.0 ERA pitching; Washington's is 5.49.)
