STANFORD, Calif. -- For the second straight night a late Stanford rally came up short, as the Cardinal fell to Indiana, 4-3, in 10 innings Saturday. ­­­The Hoosiers scored two in the top of the 10th after a pair of Stanford errors, before a caught stealing of the potential tying run ended the game in the bottom half.

Stanford (0-2) used four pitchers and allowed just one earned run, but the Hoosiers scored three times via four Cardinal errors, including three by the pitchers. Freshman Quinn Brodey (0-1), who was 2-for-4 at the plate and worked out of a jam in relief in the ninth, took the loss. He committed two throwing errors on Indiana sac bunt attempts in the 10th that led to two runs.  

Brodey starred at the plate and stood at second base in the bottom of the ninth as the winning run after a swinging bunt put him aboard. A strikeout by sophomore Jack Klein and roller to the mound by sophomore Tommy Edman ended the threat against Indiana’s Thomas Belcher. Edman joined Brodey with two hits, both doubles. Stanford outhit the Hoosiers, 8-6.

Belcher (1-0) went 3.0 innings and allowed two hits and no runs to earn the win. Ryan Halsted (2) came in for his second shaky save in as many days.

Freshman Matt Winaker started the 10th-inning rally with two outs by singling through the right side. After a wild pitch moved him to second, he came around to score when sophomore Alex Dunlap’s grounder to short rolled under the glove of Nick Ramos. Pinch runner Jonny Locher was thrown out attempting to steal second on a 2-0 pitch to Brodey.

Stanford’s only lead came at 1-0 in the second inning when freshman Mikey Diekroeger delivered an RBI double down the left field line in his first collegiate at-bat. It was the 218th time in the last 219 games Mark Marquess had written a Diekroeger in the starting lineup after brothers Kenny and Danny played at Stanford.


Indiana answered with single tallies in the third and fourth. The Cardinal tied up the game 2-2 in the fifth on one of Edman’s doubles to left center.

Marc Brakeman gave Stanford six strong innings as the Saturday starter. He allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits and struck out six while walking two. Brett Hanewich went 2.1 innings as the first out of the bullpen, allowing no runs on one hit, before giving way to Brodey with a runner on third and one out in the ninth. The newcomer kept Indiana scoreless with a fly out to right and a ground out to second with a walk sandwiched between the outs.

Stanford and Indiana meet against tomorrow at 12 p.m. PT. The game will be available to watch for free via GoStanford.com.
