UCLA Takes Down Cal Poly, 3-2, in Season Opener
February 14, 2025 | Baseball
LOS ANGELES โย Roman Martin's go-ahead RBI single in the bottom of the seventh lifted the UCLA baseball team over Cal Poly in the season opener on Friday night inside Jackie Robinson Stadium.
ย
The Bruins (1-0) improve to 15-6 in Opening Day contests under 21st-year head coach John Savage.ย
ย
Martin came up with the biggest swing of the day in the home half of the seventh, winning a nine-pitch battle by smacking a single to left field to bring Dean West around to score from second base.
ย
UCLA's bullpen shut the door over four total frames, holding Cal Poly (0-1) scoreless while surrendering just two hits. Jack O'Connor threw a scoreless inning in his collegiate debut and Justin Lee earned his first collegiate win after logging 1.1 hitless innings.
ย
After making 52 appearances out of the bullpen in his first two seasons at UCLA, Cody Delvecchio got the nod to make his first career start on Friday night. The Mission Hill, Calif. was tabbed with the no-decision, but impressed in his 5.0 innings of work, allowing just two hits and one earned run while striking out four.
ย
Freshman Wylan Moss toed the rubber for the first time and faced just one batter over the minimum. He struck out five of the six batters he faced to secure the five-out save.
ย
West reached base in three of his four plate appearances, drawing three walks and scoring two of UCLA's three runs.
ย
Roch Cholowsky, Mulivai Levu, and AJ Salgado each recorded their first hit of the season in the win.
ย
UCLA stranded a pair of base runners in each of the first two innings, and Cal Poly took advantage by scoring twice in the top of the third to take the lead.
ย
The Bruins plated two runs in the home half of the third, using four walks and a hit-by-pitch to tie the ballgame. UCLA did not put a ball in play during the inning.
Reigning Big West Freshman Pitcher of the Year, Griffin Naes, was chased out of the game in the Bruin fifth. The Mustangs' rightyย surrendered just two runs in his four innings on the bump, navigating six walks and two hits.
ย
Delvecchio concluded his maiden start by retiring seven consecutive hitters. He handed the ball off to O'Connor to start the sixth, who blanked the Mustangs in his one inning of work.
ย
UCLA grabbed its first lead of the contest with Martin's RBI base hit in the bottom of the seventh.
ย
Moss relieved Lee with one out in the eighth and showed excellent composure in his first collegiate outing, fanning two straight battersย to end the threat. In the top of the ninth, Moss struck out the side to earn the save and clinch the victory for UCLA in the season opener.
ย
The Bruins will face Cal Poly in the second game of the series tomorrow at 2 p.m. PT. Ian May is set to start on the mound for UCLA. The contest will be available for viewingย onย B1G+.
