TEMPE, Ariz. - The top-ranked Bruins belted four home runs on Saturday, including a pair by redshirt sophomore Aaliyah Jordan, while redshirt junior Rachel Garcia struck out 12 in a complete-game, three-hit shutout, as UCLA defeated No. 19 Arizona State, 9-0 in six innings.
The Bruins (34-1, 8-0 Pac-12) tallied 10 hits from six different players, while also drawing seven walks. Jordan had three hits, as did senior Taylor Pack. Freshman Colleen Sullivan drew four of the seven free passes, marking the seventh time a Bruin has drawn four walks in one game (school record is five).
Garcia (15-0) walked two in six innings, posting 1-2-3 frames in the fifth and sixth. She struck out the side in the third and fourth and two each in the second and fifth, fanning at least one Arizona State (25-13, 5-6 Pac-12) batter in every inning.
UCLA quickly got on the board in the first, as sophomore Briana Perez walked, stole second and scored three batters later on a double down the left-field line by Pack.
The Bruins tacked on another run in the third, as Jordan launched her sixth homer of the season to right-center to make it 2-0.
One more swing of the bat in the fifth increased the lead to 4-0. Jordan smacked a one-out single through the 3-4 hole and came home on a Pack homer to left-center, her eighth of the season and third of the weekend.
The Bruins broke it open with five in the sixth. Freshman Kelli Godin led off with a single and stole second, Perez reached on a bunt hit and both came home on a three-run homer to center by junior Bubba Nickles, her team-leading 10th of the season, to up the lead to 7-0. Following a walk to Garcia, Jordan crushed her second homer of the game and seventh of the season to center to make it 9-0.
UCLA looks for the sweep on Sunday at 4 p.m. The game will air on Pac-12 Network.
