Series Notes: Stanford has won eight consecutive season series over the Bruins and needs to win in Sunday's series finale to make it nine in a row Six of the last eight games between the teams have either been decided in the final inning or by one run with three of the contests meeting both criteria Both games in the current series have been one-run contests In Friday's opener, the Cardinal scored three runs in the bottom of the ninth with John Hester's two-out double driving in John Mayberry, Jr. with the game-winning run On Saturday, the Bruins held on for a 4-3 victory when the Cardinal left the tying run on third base and the winning run on second in the bottom of the ninth The 2004 series was highlighted by Jonny Ash's two-run homer in the top of the ninth to defeat the Bruins in Saturday's game, 15-13, while UCLA took the series finale in dramatic fashion on a solo walkoff homer by Preston Griffin to leadoff the bottom of the ninth In 2003, each team also had dramatic homers in extra innings to claim victory UCLA's Brett McMillan clearing the bases with a grandslam in the top of the 12th to lead UCLA to a 9-5 victory in Saturday's contest, before the Cardinal clinched the outright Pac-10 title on Sunday when Donny Lucy's leadoff homer in the bottom of the 10th inning lifted the Cardinal to a thrilling 9-8 win The Cardinal swept all six games from the Bruins in the last year of the Pac-10 Southern Division in 1998 The last time the Bruins won both a series and a season-series against the Cardinal was when UCLA won four-of-six games between the teams in 1997, taking two-of-three at Stanford (April 19-20) before doing it again at UCLA (May 9-11)
