Bruin SportsWire: Baseball game moves to CSUN
Don’t go to Jackie Robinson Stadium today if you’re looking for the baseball matchup between UCLA and Cal State Northridge. That game has been moved to CSUN’s Matador Field beginning at 2 p.m. because of the continuing wet conditions at the Bruins’ home field.
Sophomore left-hander Matt Drummond will start for the Bruins, facing righty Drew Muren of Northridge, a freshman making his first collegiate start. The game will be audiocast on uclabruins.com with Danny Lee at the microphone.
UCLA’s Wednesday game against UC Santa Barbara is still scheduled for a 6 p.m. start at Jackie Robinson Stadium. Also:
