UCLA blasted four home runs en route to an 11-0, five-inning run rule victory over Arkansas in an elimination game in the Women’s College World Series on Friday in Oklahoma City.

The Bruins blasted the game open with a nine-run second to quickly move into position for the run rule.

Three of their home runs came during that inning, including Megan Grant extending her NCAA record with her 42nd home run of the season.

Aleena Garcia led off the second with a homer to center on the first pitch she saw from Payton Burnham.

After an out, a hit-by-pitch and a single, Soo-Jin Berry delivered her fifth home run of the season to make it 4-0 and drive Burnham from the game.

Grant blasted a three-run shot on the first pitch she saw in her second-inning at-bat after Jolyna Lamar and Rylee Slimp drew back-to-back walks.

Kaniya Bragg later delivered a two-run double to cap the massive inning in which UCLA sent 14 batters to the plate.

UCLA added a run in the third on a wild pitch, then another in the fifth on Lama’s solo shot.

The Bruins now have 206 home runs on the season, extending their NCAA record. Before this season, the NCAA record for home runs in a season was 161.

Taylor Tinsley went the distance for UCLA, allowing just three hits with two walks and two strikeouts.

UCLA (53-9) will take on the loser of Saturday’s Texas Tech-Tennessee game in an elimination game Sunday.

Justin Wrobleski gave up one run on one hit over seven innings as the Los Angeles Dodgers increased their winning streak to six games with a 4-2 victory over the visiting Philadelphia Phillies on Friday.

Wrobleski (7-2) recorded a career-high nine strikeouts with no walks on 88 pitches as he rebounded from a pair of losses in his past three starts.

Freddie Freeman hit a first-inning home run and Max Muncy, Shohei Ohtani and Will Smith also went deep as the Dodgers won for the 13th time in their past 15 games.

Kyle Schwarber homered, but Zack Wheeler gave up four home runs as the Phillies saw their three-game winning streak come to an end. Wheeler (4-1) permitted four runs on five hits over six innings while absorbing his first loss in seven starts this year. He fanned four and walked one.

The Dodgers were in complete control from the outset.

Freeman made it 1-0 in the opening inning on his eighth home run of the season and his fourth in the past nine games.

Muncy hit his 13th of the season in the second inning for a 2-0 lead.

Ohtani continued his power resurgence with a home run in the third, just his 10th of the season but his third in the past eight games.

Smith made it 4-0 in the fifth inning with his sixth of the season, giving Los Angeles 12 home runs over the past three games.

Wrobleski carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning before Schwarber hit a two-out home run, his major-league-leading 22nd.

The Philadelphia offense came to life in the eighth inning against Edgardo Henriquez. Brandon Marsh doubled with one out and Steward Berroa delivered a two-out RBI single in his Phillies debut, cutting the deficit to 4-2.

Schwarber came to the plate as the tying run but struck out against Alex Vesia.

Los Angeles’ Tanner Scott pitched a perfect ninth inning for his fifth save and first since May 14, finishing off a 2-hour, 3-minute game.

Gunnar Henderson hit the first of his two home runs in Baltimore’s five-run first inning as the Orioles beat the visiting Tampa Bay Rays 11-2 on Wednesday night to complete a three-game sweep against the team with the best record in the American League.

Rookie Trey Gibson took a shutout into the sixth inning to gain his first victory.

Blaze Alexander drove in six runs with a single, double and home run, Coby Mayo scored three runs and Adley Rutschman added three hits, including two doubles.

Henderson’s two-run shot in the first inning opened the scoring and he drilled a solo blast to lead off the sixth. Alexander, in the No. 8 spot in the batting order, clobbered a two-run homer in the seventh.

Baltimore’s first five batters of the game scored off Tampa Bay starter Steven Matz (4-2). Leody Taveras rapped a run-scoring single and Alexander had a two-run single.

Hunter Feduccia had three hits and Jonathan Aranda posted two hits for the Rays, who’ve lost four games in a row for the first time this season.

Gibson (1-0), who was placed back on the roster earlier in the day as the Orioles slightly shuffled their rotation, worked 5 2/3 innings and gave up one run and six hits and four walks. He struck out one.

The Rays grounded into three double plays across the first five innings.

Matz was charged with six runs on seven hits in three innings.

The Orioles pushed their lead to 6-0 in the third on Tyler O’Neill’s single. Alexander’s two-run double in the fifth added to the margin.

The Rays used Hunter Bigge and Jonathan Heasley, who allowed two runs in his first inning and one more in his next inning, in relief. In his first appearance of the season, Heasley was tagged for five runs on eight hits over four innings.

Tampa Bay loaded the bases with no outs in the eighth and managed only one run on Ryan Vilade’s walk before three straight strikeouts ended the threat.
