No. 1 UCLA Walks Off Sacramento State on Ninth-Inning Error

The win kept the top-ranked Bruins on a five-game roll at 38-3.

Overview

  • UCLA edged Sacramento State 6-5 on a walk-off infield error Friday at Jackie Robinson Stadium, pushing its record to 38-3 and its streak to five.
  • Mulivai Levu trimmed the deficit with his 11th home run in the eighth inning to set up the final rally.
  • After two Hornets were hit by pitches in the top of the ninth, reliever Justin Lee entered and got a strikeout and a fly out to keep it a one-run game.
  • The bottom of the ninth started with Aiden Aguayo’s pinch-hit single, a sacrifice bunt by Phoenix Call, and a Dean West groundout that moved the tying run to third.
  • With two outs, walks to Roch Cholowsky and Levu loaded the bases before Roman Martin’s 0-2 grounder deflected and a wild throw home brought in the tying and winning runs.
