UCF vs UCLA predictions for NCAA softball super regionals
Chris Boyle, Daytona Beach News-Journal — UCLA in two games. The Knights will head west with an enormous amount of confidence after finally conquering the Tallahassee Regional. They are also 5-4 this season against ranked opponents on the road, including series wins over fellow super regional qualifiers Oklahoma State and Arizona State. However, very few pitching staffs have had success against UCLA this spring. The Bruins lead the country in scoring (10.83 runs per game), home runs (193), on-base percentage (.494) and slugging percentage (.836). UCLA’s pitching staff has produced a team ERA of 4.37, so the Knights should have ample opportunities to score. They need to capitalize whenever possible.
Chris Vinel, Daytona Beach News-Journal — UCLA in three games. It’s not just that the Bruins leads the country in scoring. It’s that nobody is really close. They’ve crossed the plate 628 times this season. Only two teams sit within 150 runs of that — Oklahoma (599) and Texas Tech (583). UCLA has been held to fewer than five runs in only seven of their 58 contests. It has the upper hand in this series. But it wouldn’t be totally shocking if UCF claimed a game after upsetting Florida State last week. The Seminoles beat the Bruins 11-7 in February.
