Friday Recap: Sedlock out-duels Deeg in Florida | Jordan fans 9 in win

No. 18 UCLA 2, No. 22 Mississippi State 1

This was a rematch of the 2013 College Series Finals and UCLA once again gave the Bulldogs a taste of West Coast baseball. The Bruins, namely Griffin Canning, pitched at a very high level and deployed an opportunistic if not unspectacular offense.

Canning's pitchability is off the charts and he was spot on Friday night. Canning's fastball peppered 90-92 mph for eight innings, and this is somewhat on the high-side for him. He commands that pitch down and away early in the count for strikes and elevates late for a strikeout, as per the UCLA pitching trademark. Having said that, the two separators for Canning are deception and spin.

Week 10 Preview Pick 'Em
Things are close as we head into week 10 and with all but one series having a different prediction, this week could really open things up between Cozy and Vin.
