Stanford snapped a season-high-tying three-game losing skid with Friday's victory as the Cardinal avoided dropping four in a row for the first time since losing four straight from May 11-21, 1998
Friday's contest was the fifth time in the last seven games between Stanford and UCLA that the contest has been decided in the last inning
Stanford came from behind to win for the 12th time in 28 games this season but the first time in 13 games the Cardinal had trailed in heading to the ninth
Stanford's one error allowed the Cardinal to maintain a .978 fielding percentage that ranks second in the nation and is one percentage point better than the school record of .977 set by the 2001 club
Stanford's pitching staff lowered its ERA to 3.86 as the Cardinal is attempting to record an ERA under 4.00 for the fourth time in the last six seasons
Stanford has now seven of its last eight games at Sunken Diamond
Jeff Gilmore won his seventh consecutive decision while tossing his second complete game of the season and the fourth of his career to improve his all-time record at Stanford to 19-3 for an .864 winning percentage that ranks fifth on the school's all-time list
Jeff Gilmore has now allowed just three earned runs in 28.0 innings (0.96 ERA) since becoming the team's No. 1 starter on April 22
