UCLA baseball is rewriting the history books—and they're doing it in style. The Bruins have tied a Big Ten record with 27 consecutive conference wins, a streak that spans nearly a full calendar year and shows no signs of slowing down.
It's been almost 12 months since a Big Ten team last beat UCLA. The Bruins' last conference loss came on May 25, 2025, when Nebraska shut them out 5-0 in the Big Ten Tournament championship game. But if you're looking for a regular-season defeat, you'd have to go back even further—to May 15, 2025, when Northwestern took the series opener of the final regular-season conference series.
On Friday, the No. 1-ranked Bruins continued their historic run with a dominant 11-1 victory over No. 13 Oregon at Jackie Robinson Stadium. That win marked the 27th straight regular-season conference victory for UCLA, tying a Big Ten record that has stood since before the university was even founded.
The Fighting Illini of Illinois set the original mark with 27 straight conference wins across the 1909-1911 seasons. To put that in perspective: UCLA wasn't founded until 1919, and the baseball program didn't come along until 1920. Now, the Bruins are on the verge of surpassing that century-old milestone.
This season alone, UCLA has been perfect in conference play, winning a program-record 25 games to start the season. The streak actually began with the final two wins of the 2025 regular season against Northwestern, meaning the Bruins have been on a tear for over a year.
UCLA will have its first chance to break the record on Saturday when they face Oregon again in Game 2 of the series. But the Bruins aren't just chasing history—they're also looking to extend their lead. If they win their remaining five games against Oregon and Washington, the streak could reach an incredible 32 straight victories.
The Bruins have already locked up the Big Ten regular-season title outright, clinching on May 3. This marks the second straight season UCLA has won at least a share of the conference championship. With the postseason on the horizon, the Bruins are proving that their dominance isn't just a flash in the pan—it's becoming a tradition.
Whether you're a die-hard UCLA fan or just love witnessing history, this is a team to watch. And if you're looking to show your support, there's no better time to gear up in Bruins blue and gold.
