Stanford-USC Baseball Game Notes (May 25, 2007)

Recap | Box Score

STANFORD
Stanford has now won four in a row for its second longest win streak of the season and seven of its last eight

Stanford kept its hopes alive of recording its 14th consecutive season of playing at least .500 baseball as the Cardinal can still finish with an even (28-28) record with wins in each of its last two regular season games at USC on Saturday and Sunday

The 11-inning game was Stanford's second consecutive extra-inning game for the first time since back-to-back 10-inning contests against Cal State Fullerton and Rice at the College World Series on June 19 and 21, 2003

Stanford improved to a perfect 4-0 in extra-inning games this season

The 11-inning game was tied for the team's second-longest of the season

The game clocked in at 3:51 to mark the 34th time this season that Stanford has played for 3:00 or more, as well as the 17th occasion in which the Cardinal has played a contest that has lasted 3:40 or longer

Stanford has now won each of its last two games against USC after losing its previous four to the Trojans and needs just one win in the final two games of its current series with USC to end a four-series slide to the Trojans

Stanford wrapped up its second winning month of the season by improving to 8-5 in the month of May with just two contests remaining in the month

Stanford recorded double digit hits for the ninth straight game and the 18th time in the last 20 contests to improve its batting average to a season-high-tying .299

The game had three lead changes and two ties

Joey August had a career-high six hits in a 6-for-7 performance that was a team season-high for hits and the first six-hit game by a Stanford player since Jed Lowrie was 6-for-6 at Arizona on May 16, 2004

Joey August tied a career-high with seven at bats as he had seven at bats for the second straight game

Ryan Seawell tied career-highs with three RBI and three runs scored

Michael Taylor extended his hit streak to a career-high-tying 10 games and notched his 14th multiple-hit contest in his last 17 games

Cord Phelps and Brian Juhl had a career-high with six at bats

Jason Castro tied a career-high with six at bats

Brendan Domaracki tied a career-high with five at bats

Michael Taylor tied a season-high with six at bats

Adam Sorgi tied a career-high with six at bats

Brian Juhl had a career-high two runs scored

Stanford had team season-highs of 20 hits and 51 at bats

Stanford came from behind to win for the 17th time in 26 victories this season

Stanford now has 39 homers on the season and needs just one more long ball in its final two games to extend its string of 40-homer seasons to 20 in a row
