LOS ANGELES — No. 1 UCLA took an early lead and never let No. 13 Oregon back in the game in an 11-1, 7-inning, Bruins win on Saturday in the opening game of a Big Ten Conference series at Jackie Robinson Stadium.

The Bruins (45-4, 25-0 Big Ten) scored in four of their six innings at the plate in a run-rule win.

How It Happened: UCLA jumped on the Ducks early, scoring two runs in the bottom of the first. The Bruins loaded the bases with a pair of hits and a walk before a two-out double plated two.

UCLA pushed the lead to 6-0 in the third, scoring four runs. The first two came on a homer with the last two scoring on a bases-loaded groundout with a Ducks' error allowing the last run to score.

Oregon (35-13, 17-8 Big Ten) got one back in the fourth. Brayden Jaksa led off the frame with a single and moved to third on a Burke-Lee Mabeus double into the left-center field gap. Drew Smith picked up the RBI with a fly out to the warning track in left field.

UCLA answered with two runs in its half of the inning before adding three more in the sixth inning.

Box Score Notes: Jaksa, Mabeus and Jack Brooks each had a hit for the Ducks … Brooks reached base twice (1-for-1, BB) … Ryan Cooney had his reached-base streak snapped at 22 games.

On Deck: The Ducks and Bruins meet in game two of the series on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. (Big Ten Network).
