STANFORD
Stanford has now won five of its last six games and two in a row
Stanford kept its hopes alive of avoiding its first losing season since 1993 as the Cardinal can still finish with an even .500 (28-28) record with wins in each of its last four regular season games
Stanford won both its second straight series and second straight rubber game after having previously lost seven straight series and three consecutive rubber games
Stanford improved to 6-5 in the month of May and is trying to record its first winning month since the club was 7-5 in February
Stanford recorded double digit hits for the seventh straight game and the 16th time in the last 18 games, while improving its team batting average to a new season-high .299 as the Cardinal is making a late run to hit .300 or better as a club for the first time since 2004
Erik Davis struck out a career-high seven batters and pitched a career-high-tying 7.0 innings
Jason Castro hit his first home run of the season, while also adding his first two-hit game of the campaign and a career-high-tying three RBI
Michael Taylor extended his hit streak to eight games
Stanford has now scored double digit runs in four of its last five games
Eight of the nine Stanford starters both had at least one hit and scored at least one run
The game clocked in at 2:35 to mark the first time since March 24 and 25 the Cardinal has played back-to-back games of less than 3:00
Stanford won the first full-blown three-game series played between Stanford and Pacific since February 19-20, 1983
Stanford extended its season series win streak over Pacific to four dating back to 1999
Stanford won its fourth straight day game
Stanford's victory guarantees the Cardinal will avoid the first losing season at home in the school's recorded history as Stanford improves to 16-15 at Sunken Diamond with one home game remaining and can avoid equaling the worst winning percentage ever in recorded history at home (13-13, 1964) with a victory over UC Davis in its final home game of the regular season on May 22
Stanford now has 37 homers on the season and needs just three more to extend its string of 40-homer seasons to 20 in a row
