LOS ANGELES - Junior Bubba Nickles had a two-run homer, sophomore Briana Perez drove in two on a single and freshman Megan Faraimo struck out 11 in a complete-game, three-hitter, as the top-ranked Bruins finished up non-conference play with a 5-1 victory over Cal State Fullerton on Tuesday at Easton Stadium.
Faraimoย (9-1) had four 1-2-3 innings in the first, third, sixth and seventh, striking out the side in the fourth and two each in the first, second, third and seventh. She allowed just one run and two walks. The Bruins (29-1) had six hits from five different players, with Nickles providing two.
UCLA scored three times in the second. With two outs and the bases loaded, Perez singled to left to drive in senior Zoe Shaw and freshman Anna Vines to put the Bruins ahead. After an infield single by Nickles reloaded the bases, redshirtย sophomore Aaliyah Jordan drew a walk to force in freshman Kelli Godin to make it 3-0.
Cal State Fullerton (20-13) got on the board in the fourth on a solo home run, but it would the only run of the game for the Titans.
The Bruins answered with two runs in their half of the fourth, as Perez drew a two-out walk and came home on Nickles' mammoth blast to left, her ninth of the season, to make it 5-1.
UCLA continues Pac-12 Conference play this weekend, welcoming California to Easton Stadium. The series begins on Friday at 5 p.m., and will be broadcast on Pac-12 Network.
