Stanford-California Baseball Game Notes (April 22, 2007)

Recap | Box Score

STANFORD
Stanford lost its third straight series to the Golden Bears in Berkeley dating back to the last Stanford road series win over California in 2004, and six of the last nine games played between the teams in Berkeley

Stanford still won the 2007 season series between the clubs, 4-2, and has not lost a season series to California since 1978

Stanford also still leads the all-time series between the clubs, 239-215 Stanford lost for the 11th time in its last 14 games overall

Sean Ratliff (CF) has now played in and started all 36 games this season and is the only Stanford player to do so

Brian Juhl tied a career-high with three hits

Max Fearnow made his first start of the season and the first Pac-10 start of his career

Stanford committed four errors in the game and seven in the last two contests of the series as the Cardinal now has multiple error games in eight of its last 13 contests

Stanford hit into a season-high-tying three double plays

Stanford did not homer in the series after coming into the series with 10 homers in its previous 12 contests

The game clocked in at 4:02 to mark the second time this season the Cardinal has played a game of more than four hours and the 21st time in 26 contests the Cardinal has played for three or more hours

Stanford dropped its fifth straight three-game Pac-10 series dating back to last season and its fifth straight three-game regular season series overall dating back to a non-conference sweep of California at Sunken Diamond from March 2-4, 2007

Stanford's 2-10 league record at the halfway mark of Pac-10 play is just one game worse than the 3-9 league record the 2006 Stanford team recorded before going 8-4 in the second half of the conference schedule to finish 11-13 in the Pac-10 and eventually reach a NCAA Super Regional
