LOS ANGELES – Cal State Fullerton baseball dropped its final midweek game of the season to UCLA Tuesday night at Jackie Robinson Stadium by a final score of 10-2. The Titans are now 28-16 on the year.
UCLA jumped out to a commanding 6-0 lead in the bottom of the third inning. After already scoring two runs the Bruins hit a grand slam with two outs to extend their lead.
Fullerton immediately responded, breaking up a no-hitter in the fourth inning on a solo home run by Moises Guzman for his second of the season.
