* 6-seed Texas baseball loses to 25-28 Holy Cross in the opening game of the Austin Regional on Friday and is eliminated by Tarleton State or UC Santa Barbara on Saturday.
* 1-seed UCLA loses to 34-25 Saint Mary's in the opening game of the Los Angeles Regional on Friday and is eliminated by Cal Poly or Virginia Tech on Saturday.
Holy Cross's 9th-inning rally comes up short and they lose to Texas 19-1 /s. So the next-best scenario is for the Longhorns to lose to the winners of Tarleton and UCSB on Saturday at 4 pm PT.
However... UCLA became the first-ever #1 seed to lose an opening regional game, falling to St. Mary's 3-2! The Bruins face elimination vs the loser of Cal Poly and Va Tech Saturday at 1 pm PT.
If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
