The softball team seems to be peaking at the right time for the WS, after going 5-0 and scoring 36 runs in the tournament so far. They open against LSU, in a game that will be televised on ESPN this Thursday at 2:30 P.M. (11:30 A.M. in Westwood).
Of the eight teams in the WS, they're ranked by ESPN. The Bruins were also ranked the highest of the three Pac 12 squads, with Oregon ranked 4th and Washington ranked 5th. ESPN was high on the Bruins ability to score runs, and also had some nice things to say about freshman pitcher Rachel Garcia.
3. UCLA: The fifth-seeded Bruins won Pac-12 series against Arizona, Oregon and Washington. They scored 36 runs in going 5-0 through regional and super regional play. They solved the May mystery that was Ole Miss ace Kaitlin Lee in that super regional. The top of the order alone -- Delaney Spaulding, Kylee Perez, Madeline Jelenicki and Brianna Tautalafua -- averages eight total bases per game. And redshirt freshman pitcher Rachel Garcia, the former national high school player of the year, is playing with poise beyond her years.
