UCI Baseball Reached NCAA Regionals

By Firm News and Celebrations, In the Community

A Season to Remember: UCI Baseball Regionals

At Fielding Law, we are proud to sponsor UCI Baseball, and this season gave us even more reason to stand behind the team. With strength, focus, and true team spirit, the Anteaters earned their place in the 2025 NCAA UCI Baseball Regionals and made their mark.

The tournament took place at Jackie Robinson Stadium and included tough competition: UCLA, Fresno State, and Arizona State. From May 30 through June 1, UCI showed the same resilience and discipline we have come to admire in this program.

Recap of UCI Baseball Regionals

The road was not easy, but UCI gave it their all during the UCI Baseball Regionals:

  • Game 1 (May 30): Arizona State edged out UCI in a close matchup, 4–2.

  • Game 2 (May 31): Facing elimination, UCI came back strong and beat Fresno State, 8–3.

  • Game 3 (June 1 at 3:00 PM): UCI eliminated Arizona State with a commanding 11–6 win.

  • Game 4 (June 1 at 8:00 PM): UCI battled (15) UCLA in the Regional Final, ending their postseason with a hard-fought 8–5 loss.

UCI Baseball may not have advanced, but their performance showed exactly why they earned a spot in Regionals. They competed with heart, skill, and unity.

Why UCI Baseball Matters to Us

Fielding Law has a deep connection to UCI Baseball. Senior Attorney Ryan Cooper and Case Resolution Lead Zeke Bellino played baseball for UCI Anteaters. These are not just former players—they are leaders in our firm, using the same principles they learned on the field to serve our clients today.

This program builds more than athletes. It builds character, and we are honored to be part of that legacy.

Supporting Future Leaders

At Fielding Law, we believe in backing programs that build confidence, integrity, and leadership. Sponsoring UCI Baseball is one way we invest in the next generation. This season reminded us what it means to rise together—through challenge, competition, and growth.

To every coach, player, and fan—thank you for an incredible season. The UCI Baseball Regionals were a reflection of everything this team stands for.

Why Hire Fielding Law

Just like UCI Baseball, we show up prepared and committed. Our team brings discipline, teamwork, and resilience to every case. We proudly serve injury victims throughout California and Arizona with empathy, professionalism, and care.

If you or someone you care about has been seriously injured, call 833.88.SHARK or contact Fielding Law. We are here to help you recover and move forward.

How Professionalism Helps Your Injury Case

By Car Accident, Firm News and Celebrations, Pedestrian Accident, Personal Injury, Premises Liability, Slip or Trip and Fall, Wrongful Death

Why Professionalism Matters

When you hire an attorney, you want someone who is capable, compassionate, and respectful to you and everyone involved in your case. At Fielding Law, we believe that professionalism in personal injury law is more than good manners. It is a strategy that leads to better outcomes for our clients.

Our Senior Attorney, Ryan Cooper, recently received this comment from a defense attorney:

“Thanks for the professionalism and avoidance of game play on this one. Quite refreshing and I look forward to working with you again.”

This kind of feedback matters. It reflects the way we choose to show up—with integrity and purpose.

How It Helps Your Case

It Builds Credibility

When opposing counsel respects your attorney, it builds trust. That trust can make negotiations more productive, reducing delays and unnecessary conflict.

It Keeps the Focus on You

Professionalism removes distractions. No drama, no games—just results. That means your case stays focused on your injuries, your recovery, and your right to compensation.

It Encourages Fair Settlements

When attorneys act with civility, cases are more likely to settle fairly and efficiently. Insurance adjusters and defense counsel are more willing to cooperate when the process feels professional.

It Strengthens Courtroom Presence

Judges notice. Juries notice. Respectful, well-prepared attorneys are more persuasive in court. That can be the difference between winning and losing.

Why Hire Fielding Law

At Fielding Law, we know that professionalism is not just about being polite. It is about being prepared, intentional, and focused on your needs. Our team is here to support you with kind, capable, and strategic legal representation. Whether you were injured in a car crash, slip and fall, or another accident caused by negligence, we are ready to help.

Reach out today at 833.88.SHARK or visit our Contact Us page to schedule a free consultation.

Let us show you how professionalism and compassion go hand in hand.
