In game one versus the Gators (20-2), Garcia allowed just six baserunners on two hits, two walks and two hit by pitches. She had 1-2-3 innings in the fifth and seventh, striking out a pair in the first, fifth and sixth. The Bruins (16-0) had seven hits from six different players, as junior Bubba Nickles recorded two hits.
The game's only runs came in the fifth inning, as UCLA hung up a four-spot. Sophomore Kinsley Washington led off with an infield single, freshman Kelli Godin bunted for a hit and sophomore Briana Perez walked to load the bases, with Nickles driving home Washington and Godin to make it 2-0. An RBI double to left off the bat of redshirt sophomore Aaliyah Jordan plated Perez to up the lead to 3-0, while a single to center from Garcia scored Nickles to extend the advantage to 4-0.
In game two versus the Wolverines (7-8), UCLA (16-1) was held to just three hits, including only one from the first inning on. Freshman Megan Faraimo struck out two in 5 1/3 innings, giving up three runs and four hits. Sophomore Holly Azevedo got a pair of outs in relief, including one strikeout.
Perez led off the top of the first with an infield single and moved to second on a single to right by Nickles. A fielder's choice by Jordan moved Perez over to third, while another fielder's choice from Garcia scored Perez to put the Bruins up.
The score remained 1-0 until the bottom of the sixth when Michigan scored three times.
The Bruins continue play at the Judi Garman Classic in Fullerton on Saturday, weather permitting, against No. 21 Auburn (9:30 a.m.) and Loyola Marymount (12 p.m.).
