BERKELEY, Calif. – Junior southpaw Andrew Summerville nearly went the distance to help No. 10 Stanford to a come-from-behind 8-5 win at rival Cal on Sunday.

Summerville was one out shy of his first complete game, and the Cardinal bats battled out of an early deficit to lead Stanford (33-13, 15-8 Pac-12) to its 14th win in the last 15 games. The Cardinal also clinched its fourth straight Pac-12 series.

The afternoon affair at Evans Diamond marked the 2,500th career game for head coach Mark Marquess—just the fifth person to sign that many lineup cards. He has now won 1,618 of those -- all in the Cardinal uniform.

Cal built a 3-0 lead with a run in the first and a two-out, two-run single in the second. Stanford tied the game at 3-3 in the fourth, and again at 5-5 in the fifth before taking the lead for good in the sixth. 

Summerville (4-1) did not allow a run after the fourth inning. He retired 12 in a row from the fifth to the ninth in a career-high 8.2 innings of work. The Bears got a two-out double to finally chase Summerville, but freshman Will Matthiessen entered and struck out the only batter he faced for his third save of the year.

Stanford capitalized on some Cal miscues to erase the three-run deficit in the fourth. Matt Winaker and Quinn Brodey each singled, and Cal catcher Korey Lee tried to pick off Brodey at first. The throw sailed away and Winaker scored from second. Later in the at-bat, Brodey scored on a double from freshman Daniel Bakst. After another single, Jack Klein grounded one to second, but it was misplayed and Stanford tied it on the error.


The Bears got two back in the fourth, but Stanford tied it again in the next half inning. Freshman Maverick Handley singled to start the inning, and junior Jesse Kuet immediately followed that with an RBI double into the left field corner. Two batters later, Kuet raced home on a wild pitch to tie the game at 5-5.

In the sixth, Duke Kinamon, Brandon Wulff and Handley gave Stanford its first lead. Kinamon singled and stole second. Wulff promptly brought him home with a line-drive single up the middle, and Handley followed with an RBI double to right.


Stanford manufactured some insurance in the eighth. Bakst was hit by a pitch. Pinch runner Christian Molfetta reached second on a passed ball, was bunted to third and scored on a wild pitch.


NUMBERS…
Summerville was charged with all five runs and 11 hits, and struck out six. Bakst, Handley and Kuet each had two hits, a run, a double and an RBI. 


AND NOTABLES
Kinamon's 13 steals this season are the most for a Cardinal since Zach Jones had 18 in 2009 … Winaker has reached base in 17 consecutive games—a career best and the longest streak of the season for the Cardinal …Stanford is now 30-0 when tied or leading after seven innings … The Cardinal is 21-1 this year when not committing an error.

WHAT'S AHEAD
One more Cal-Stanford game remains with head coach Mark Marquess in the dugout. Senior Chris Castellanos will take the bump for the series finale on Monday at 6 p.m. PT on Pac-12 Networks.

Stanford has one more home series remaining. Friday (6 p.m.) is Fireworks Night, Saturday (2 p.m.) is Coach Marquess bobblehead and trading card giveaway day, and the final chance to see No. 9 in the Stanford dugout at Sunken Diamond is Senior Day on Sunday at 1 p.m.
