UCLA pulled off a comeback victory over Virginia Tech to keep NCAA Championship hopes alive. The top-overall seed is in rare territory right now facing an elimination game early.
The Bruins have played better baseball, but have a chance for redemption against Saint Mary’s on Sunday at 5 p.m. ET. Unfortunately, if UCLA drops another one they’ll be the second host team out of the tourney with Southern Miss.
