Recap | Box Score

STANFORD
Stanford has now won four of its last five games

Stanford kept its hopes alive of avoiding its first losing season since 1993 as the Cardinal can still finish an even .500 (28-28) with wins in each of its last five regular season games

Stanford recorded double digit hits for the 15th time in the last 17 games with a season-high-tying 17 knocks and improved its team batting average to a new season-high .297 as the Cardinal is making a late run to hit .300 or better as a club for the first time since 2004

Jeremy Bleich pitched the first complete game of his collegiate career

Sean Ratliff had his third two-homer game of the season to take sole possession of the club's home run lead with 11

Jeff Whitlow tied a career-high with two runs scored

Michael Taylor posted his 12th multiple-hit game in his last 14 contests

Adam Sorgi's batting average improved one point to .398 after a 2-for-4 game as he continues his attempt to become just the seventh player in school history to hit .400 or better in a season

Stanford has now scored double digit runs in three of its last four games Cord Phelps tied a career-high with three RBI

The game clocked in at just 2:39 to end a string of five straights games played for 3:00 or more

Stanford extended its win streak against Pacific in Stockton to three in a row and has not lost to the Tigers in Stockton since February 28, 1995

Stanford won its third straight day game

Stanford now has 35 homers on the season and needs just five more to extend its string of 40-homer seasons to 20 in a row
