‡ – Pac-10 Conference champion y – Invited to the 2010 NCAA Division I baseball tournament As of December 16, 2010 Rankings from Coaches' Poll[1] |
Before the 2010 College World Series, the Bruins had never won a single game in the CWS. The team broke that 0–4 all time CWS record by defeating the #3 ranked Florida Gators in the first round, 11 to 3. The 2010 baseball team improved on their first ever CWS win by beating TCU 6 to 3 in the second round. Due to the double elimination format of the CWS, UCLA played TCU again in the semifinals. After losing the first game 6 to 2, the Bruins advanced to the Championship Series by defeating TCU 10 to 3 in the decisive second game.[2] The South Carolina Gamecocks became the 2010 national champions after beating UCLA in two consecutive games, 7–1 and 2–1.[3][4]
Previous season
The Bruins completed the 2009 season with a 27–29 overall record, tying Oregon State for third place in the Pac-10 Conference behind #1 Arizona State and #2 Washington State.[5] The Bruins were not invited to the 2009 NCAA Division I baseball tournament since Oregon State had a better overall record.
