Bear's batting order has six left-handed hitters to face Bruin southpaw Brooke Yanez.
Cal's infield defense is not good. Every ground ball is a "hold-your-breath" situation. Makena Smith has an error and Acacia Anders has one in the early innings. Smith also could not make a play on a bunt single. UCLA's run is unearned. Haylei Archer is a ground ball pitcher but the Bears need to make the plays. With two out in the 3rd, grounder to D'Asha Saiki but she tried to tag the runner and missed, then threw to 1st too late. Mental error because she could have gone to first for the third out.
