UCLA closer and former walk-on Berg earns record-tying save

 OMAHA, Neb. — In the three days since winning the NCBWA Stopper of the Year Award, UCLA sophomore David Berg has proven — twice — he is incredibly worthy of the honor.

Berg, a right-handed submariner, shut down NC State’s comeback bid in the last two innings en route to the Bruins’ 2-1 victory in the College World Series on Tuesday — two days after tossing a scoreless inning of relief in a 2-1 win against LSU.
