Recap | Box Score

STANFORD
Stanford extended its string of consecutive home victories over Fresno State to nine dating back to 1999 and its overall win streak over the Bulldogs to four

The victory completed a regular season sweep of the Bulldogs in a three-game that was originally scheduled to be played in its entirety from February 9-11 but required today's makeup contest to be finished after inclement weather allowed the clubs to only get in two games on the original dates

Stanford has won each of the last eight regular season series between the clubs dating back to the last Fresno State series and season series victories in 1999

Stanford now leads the all-time series between the clubs, 78-48

Stanford won for the fourth time in its last six non-conference games and also snapped a two-game skid in non-league contests

Sean Ratliff (CF) has now played in and started all 38 games this season and is the only Stanford player to do so

Sean Ratliff extended his team lead in homers when he hit his seventh long ball of the season with a long solo shot in the bottom of the eighth

Sean Ratliff's eighth inning homer snapped Stanford's four-game homerless stretch that equaled the team's longest of season

Blake Hancock recorded the first save of his collegiate career

Michael Taylor broke out of an 0-for-13 slump with hits in each of his final three at bats of a game in which he finished 3-for-4 with an RBI

Stanford was errorless for the second straight contest and the fifth time in its last nine games

Stanford came from behind to win for the 12th time in 17 wins this season, including each of its last three victories

Brendan Domaracki scored a career-high two runs and tied a season-high with two hits

Cord Phelps drove in a career-high three runs

Erik Davis tied a season-high 4.0 innings pitched in his first start of the season
