STANFORD, Calif. -- Tyger Talley pitched his first career shutout to lead Arizona to a 6-0 win in front of 1,641 fans at Klein Field at Sunken Diamond Sunday afternoon. The Wildcats swept Stanford at Sunken Diamond for the first time ever.
Stanford (9-11, 0-3 Pac-12) was blanked at home for the first time since Santa Clara won 3-0 May 14, 2013, as Talley (3-0) allowed just six Cardinal to reach base. The right-hander threw a three-hitter with Beau Branton, Tommy Edman and Quinn Brodey contributing knocks. Edman’s double in the third was the only Stanford hit that went for extra bases.
Talley threw 123 pitches, 83 for strikes.
Arizona (19-6, 4-2 Pac-12) was led by the 3-for-4 day of Zach Gibbons and two RBI from leadoff man Sean Kingery, who improved his team-best batting average to .450. The Wildcats totaled eight hits to outhit the Cardinal for the second straight day.
Stanford spotted Arizona an early lead when starter Chris Viall lost command of the strike zone in the third inning. The Wildcats scored twice, both on wild pitches, before scoring two more in the sixth after Viall gave way to relievers Chris Castellanos and Tyler Thorne. Castellanos made a nice play on a safety squeeze for the first out of the sixth and Thorne stranded the bases loaded with a strikeout, but Arizona scored on a sac fly and a Kingery RBI single in between.
An unearned run scored on a Kingery sac fly in the eighth and Bobby Dalbec blasted a solo shot to left center in the ninth to add insurance runs for Arizona.
Thorne was pulled in the ninth after 3.1 innings pitching, while allowing four hits, two runs (one earned), two walks and a strikeout. David Schmidt got the final out for the Cardinal.
Austin Barr led Stanford with a .375 (3-8) average and .545 on-base percentage during the series. Only three Stanford players hit over .200 in the three games after a 12-day break for finals - Barr, Jack Klein (.286, 2-7) and Bryce Carter (.250, 2-8), as the team batted .179 (17-95) in the series.
San Diego visits Klein Field at Sunken Diamond tomorrow for a 1 p.m. PT nonconference showdown. The game will be aired live on Pac-12 Networks.
