OMAHA, Neb. — UCLA suffered its first loss in the Men’s College World Series with a 9-5 setback to second-ranked LSU Tuesday at Charles Schwab Field Omaha.

Today’s game resumed in the top of the fourth inning after being suspended last night due to a 2-hour, 53-minute weather delay.

UCLA (48-17) scored three runs in the first inning before LSU (50-15) responded with four runs in the bottom frame, to stake a lead it never relinquished. The loss snapped the Bruins’ six-game win streak in NCAA postseason play.

Seventh-ranked UCLA will meet third-ranked Arkansas in an elimination game tonight at 7 p.m. on ESPN. It will mark the first doubleheader for the Bruins this season.
