For the first time since 1997, UCLA’s baseball team is ranked No. 1 in the nation.

Baseball America has elevated the Bruins (25-3) to the No. 1 spot.

UCLA is ranked No. 2 by Collegiate Baseball and the ESPN/USA Today Coaches’ Poll.

UCLA took two of three games last week from Oregon State. The Bruins play UC Riverside on Tuesday and face Oregon in a three-game Pacific 10 Conference series this weekend in Westwood.
