Baseball: Ex-Hart pitcher shows he made right decision

Former Newhall Hart pitcher Trevor Bauer decided to skip his senior year because he needed more challenges and thought he was ready for college baseball.

On Wednesday, Bauer, a freshman at UCLA, turned in the longest starting stint by a Bruins pitcher this season, striking out eight in eight innings as UCLA defeated Pepperdine, 7-2.

Bauer is 2-3 overall and also has two saves. His teammates at Hart might miss him, but UCLA would be in bad shape without him considering his many contributions so far.
