Alex Boxwell homered and doubled and drove in four runs, Jackson Rose pitched four innings of strong relief, and Minnesota won its first regional in 19 NCAA Tournament appearances under coach John Anderson with a 13-8 win over UCLA.
Boxwell’s two-run homer gave the Gophers a 7-5 lead in the third inning. He drove in two more runs with a double in a six-run fourth that broke open the game.
The Gophers advance to the round of 16 in the super regionals this weekend.
