» The week prior, Brodey was named Player of the Week, while roommate and junior reliever Colton Hock was named Pac-12 Pitcher of the Week. Brodey had walk offs in two straight games and the game-winning RBI in three consecutive games—all in 24 hours —to lead Stanford to a four-game series win over Texas. Both walk offs came with two outs. In that same 24-hour span, Hock went 2-0 with a 0.00 ERA in 5.0 innings, including a win in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader and a save in the nightcap.

» On Friday night, freshman Andrew Daschbach came through with a two-out, pinch-hit, go-ahead RBI single in the third, and Matt Winaker gave the Cardinal a cushion with a two-out RBI single in the sixth. Hock threw 3.1 scoreless innings in relief to secure a 5-3 win.
» On Saturday, Stanford trailed 4-0 entering the sixth, but closed to within 5-3 after seven. Winaker hit a go-ahead three-run home run in the eighth inning, but UCLA brought home the tying run with two outs in the ninth, and added one in the 10th to steal away the game and the series.
