The Bruins have six victories over ranked opponents, including a pair of run-rule wins. The Titans only have four wins on the season.
03.03.2026 23:46 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Tough midweek matchup tonight for Cal State Fullerton, who finally got their bats going this weekend against Xavier. They're headed to UCLA to take on the number one team in the country, who just handed No. 23 Texas A&M and No. 4 Mississippi State their first losses of the season over the weekend.

I don't think he has much clue where any of his pitches are landing, but my toxic scouting trait is that I'd be sure I could fix him.

Being an Astros fan is discovering a really exciting prospect and wondering which of the 29 other teams he's going to play his entire career for.
