STANFORD, Calif. -- Freshman Andrew Summerville shutout San Jose State over 6.0 innings and the Stanford baseball team hung on for a 4-3 win Tuesday night at Klein Field at Sunken Diamond. The Cardinal won for the third time in its last five games.

Stanford (19-23) built a 4-0 lead behind Summerville’s command and four Cardinal batters with multiple hits. The Spartans rallied for one in the eighth and two in the ninth to get the tying run on base before junior Gabe Cramer forced a groundout to earn the save.

Summerville (4-1) worked three 1-2-3 frames as part of his 81-pitch effort. He threw 53 strikes to punch out five hitters without issuing a walk. One runner reached third and one other reached second against the lefty from Seattle, who allowed only three hits in his first career start.

Jonny Locher and Tommy Edman led the offense with two hits and a double apiece, each in the seventh inning. Stanford scored three times in the seventh, once when Edman laced a two-bagger down the right field line and two more times when Locher used the opposite line one a two-out two-strike pitch with the bases loaded.

The Cardinal was up 1-0 until the vital seventh frame by virtue of a Zach Hoffpauir RBI ground out in the first. Jesse Kuet and Edman and set up runners at first and third for one of Stanford’s biggest RBI threats.

Tyler Thorne allowed a run in two innings out of the bullpen, before the Spartans got two off of Cramer in the ninth. Cramer ended the game when he forced Alex deWatteville to tap out to first baseman Alex Dunlap with the tying run on first. He picked up his second save despite two earned runs on three hits from San Jose State.  

Drew Jackson and Jack Klein were both 2 for 4. Beau Branton snapped his 11-game hitting streak with a 0 for 3 night.

San Jose State (11-34) was led by Chris Williams and David Campbell, who each had two hits. Carter Johnson (0-2) took the loss in 4.0 innings, while allowing one run on three hits. Ross Slaney, one of six SJSU relievers, saw three runs come across on his watch in the seventh.

Stanford travels to Eugene, Oregon, this weekend to face the Ducks Friday-Sunday.
