Levu's 3-run HR helps UCLA beat UC Irvine 8-5 to sweep Los Angeles Regional
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Mulivai Levu hit a three-run home run, Dean West and Payton Brennan added two RBIs apiece and UCLA jumped to a big lead and then held on to beat UC Irvine 8-5 on Sunday night and win the Los Angeles Regional. UCLA (45-16) clinched its first trip to the super regionals since 2019. UC Irvine (43-17) beat Arizona State 11-6 in a loser-out game earlier Sunday. The Anteaters made back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances for the first time since they went to six straight tourneys from 2006-11. Roman Martin's RBI single off Finnegan Wall (0-1) in the first inning made it 1-0 and the Bruins led the rest of the way. Cashel Dugger hit a single in the second that drove in Brennan, who doubled to lead off the inning, and then scored on a sacrifice fly by Roch Cholowsky to make it 3-0. Dugger and Phoenix Call drew back-to-back walks to lead off the fourth and West followed with a bunt single to load the bases. Dugger scored on another sacrifice fly by Cholowsky and, after Levu's homer, Brennan added a sacrifice fly to make it 8-0. James Castagnola and Alonso Reyes each had an RBI for the Anteaters in the fourth, Anthony Martinez hit a two-run double in the fifth and Reyes hit a lead-off home in the sixth to cap the scoring. Chris Grothues (3-1) came on in relief of starter Wylan Moss with one out and the bases loaded in the fourth. Grothues got Reyes to groundout, driving in Martinez, and struck out Blake Penso to limit the damage. Easton Hawk pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for his sixth save of the season. ___ AP college sports:

Injury news clouds Yankees win over Dodgers
Injury news clouds Yankees win over Dodgers originally appeared on Athlon Sports. After bouncing back from their worst loss of the year with a 7-3 win over the Dodgers on Sunday night, Yankees manager Aaron Boone put a damper on it. He revealed why the team made a late, on-the-fly bullpen change in the ninth inning. Advertisement Closer Luke Weaver, warming up to close out the game, suddenly felt something in the middle of his hamstring while stretching. Boone said. 'Weav felt something when he had finished warming up, and then when he went to stretch, felt something kind of in the middle of his hammy. So we had to kind of make it a switch on the fly there," Boone told reporters. Weaver has been solid for the Yankees this season, compiling a 2.60 ERA with eight saves over 24 innings pitched. His ability to lock down late innings has been a key part of New York's bullpen success.

Boone said he hoped Weaver's injury wasn't serious but admitted it was enough to take him out. Advertisement 'It was enough to take him out," Boone said when asked if it was a serious concern. "I was gonna go to him for four outs there. So we'll see what we have when we get home.' If Weaver ends up missing time, it could force the Yankees to push Devin Williams, who lost the closer role earlier this year, back into the ninth inning. They are also hoping to get Fernando Cruz back this week, and he has closed before. Related: How Serious Is Jasson Dominguez's Thumb Injury and What's Next for Yankees?
