BASEBALL UCLA was perfect in postseason play, going 10-0 in the NCAA Tournament en route to winning its first national championship in baseball. The Bruins' pitching staff dazzled down the stretch, allowing seven runs over UCLA's final eight games (0.82 ERA) with three shutouts during that span. Bruin starters combined to allow just three runs over 34.0 innings (0.88 ERA) during the College World Series, and closer David Berg picked up his NCAA-record 24th save in the championship set. UCLA, which outscored its opponents 19-4 in Omaha, held its CWS opponents to a .037 average (1-for-27) with runners in scoring position. OREGON STATE, which made its fifth College World Series appearance, reached the semifinals where it fell to Mississippi State. Four teams earned bids to the 2013 NCAA Division I Baseball Championship. The Beavers received the No. 3 overall seed in the tournament, while OREGON earned the No. 8 overall seed. Oregon, Oregon State and UCLA all hosted regionals, and ARIZONA STATE earned the second seed in the Fullerton Regional. The Beavers, which won a school record 52 games in 2013, claimed their third Conference title since 1999 and their highest-ever national seed in the tournament.
