LOS ANGELES - For the 10th time this season, the top-ranked Bruins pitched a shutout, as it was sophomore Holly Azevedo's turn on Monday in a 6-0 victory over UC Santa Barbara at Easton Stadium.
Azevedo (7-0) struck out five and scattered five hits and a walk in the complete-game win. She had 1-2-3 innings in the fifth and seventh. The Bruins (28-1) had six hits from six different players.
UCLA scored in its first at-bat, as sophomore Briana Perez led off with a walk, stole second and scored one out later on a single to left by redshirt sophomore Aaliyah Jordan.
While UC Santa Barbara (6-25) had runners on base in five of its seven innings, the Gauchos only got one runner to second base.
The Bruins broke it open with five in the third. Freshman Kelli Godin led off with an infield single, stole second and advanced to third on a bunt single by Perez. A grounder to short off the bat of junior Bubba Nickles brought in Godin to make it 2-0. After walks to Jordan and redshirt junior Rachel Garcia loaded the bases, senior Taylor Pack cleared them with a double to left-center to increase the lead to 5-0. One out later, sophomore Kinsley Washington singled home Pack to make it 6-0.
The Bruins wrap up non-conference play on Tuesday when they host Cal State Fullerton at 5 p.m. Free live audio will be available on UCLABruins.com.
