No. 1 UCLA Takes Series-Opener Over Michigan, 10-5
March 13, 2026 | Baseball
LOS ANGELES โ The No. 1-ranked UCLA baseball team opened its weekend series with a 10-5 win over Michigan on Friday night at Jackie Robinson Stadium.
ย
The Bruins (15-2, 4-0 Big Ten) pushed their winning streak to nine games and remained unbeaten in conference play. All nine starters recorded a hit, with Roch Cholowsky and Will Gasparino leading the charge, with each finishing with three hits and two RBIs.
ย
Roman Martin and Cashel Dugger added two hits apiece, while Payton Brennan drove in a pair of runs in a 1-for-4 effort. Mulivai Levu scored twice and added a hit, and both Dominic Cadiz and Phoenix Call contributed a knock to keep the bottom of the order productive.
ย
On the mound, Logan Reddemann (5-0) delivered another standout performance, earning his fifth win in as many starts. The right-hander struck out seven and allowed just two runs over six innings, matching his longest outing of the season.
ย
Michigan struck first in the opening frame, as Colby Turner lifted a two-run homer to give the Wolverines an early edge.
ย
UCLA answered immediately, erupting for four runs in the bottom half to take control. Dean West legged out an infield single, Levu was hit by a pitch, and Martin followed with a single to center. Brennan brought home the first run with a sacrifice fly, and a balk moved both runners into scoring position. Gasparino capitalized with a two-run single to center, and with two outs, Cadiz hammered a double into the left-center gap to score Gasparino and cap the four-run inning.
ย
The Bruins blew the game open in the fourth, batting around and scoring six times to stretch the lead to eight. Dugger was hit by a pitch to start the frame, and Call followed with a fly ball to right that was lost in the lights and dropped for a double. With two outs, Cholowsky punched a two-run single to center, Levu added an RBI single through the right side, and Martin and Brennan delivered back-to-back run-scoring hits. After a walk to Gasparino, Dugger dropped a double down the left-field line to drive in two more and finish the six-run outburst.
ย
Both teams went scoreless over the next four innings, with Ian May providing two strong frames of relief, allowing no runs and striking out two.
ย
Michigan mounted a late push in the ninth, drawing three straight walks to load the bases. Another walk forced in a run, and a pair of singles plated two more, but Easton Hawk shut the door by recording the final two outs to secure the 10-5 victory.
ย
The Bruins continue their series with Michigan on Saturday at 2 p.m. PT at Jackie Robinson Stadium. Live coverage will be available on B1G+.
