UCLA Ends UTSA Historic NCAA Baseball Run in Super Regional

The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) Roadrunners concluded their historic baseball season after falling to UCLA in the NCAA Super Regional round, with UCLA winning both games 5-2 and 7-0 at Jackie Robinson Stadium. UTSA, marking their first Super Regional appearance, started strong with a 2-0 lead in Game 1 but was ultimately overcome by UCLA's effective pitching and timely hitting, including a two-RBI triple that sealed the victory. Despite UTSA's aggressive base running and early scoring, UCLA's starter Michael Barnett and bullpen shut down the Roadrunners' offense in the latter innings. UTSA coach Pat Hallmark acknowledged UCLA's superior performance but expressed no regrets about his team's effort and personnel. UTSA finished the season with a program-record 47 wins and 530 runs scored, advancing further than any team in their history. The Bruins, one win away from the College World Series, demonstrated resilience and pitching depth, positioning themselves strongly for Omaha.
