Phoenix Call was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the 11th, sending Roman Martin home and giving UCLA its first Big Ten title.

  • On Sunday, UCLA defeated Oregon 3-2 in 11 innings at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha to capture the Big Ten Championship. Phoenix Call was struck by a pitch with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 11th, driving in the winning run.
