Series Notes: Stanford has had difficulties with Arizona in the last three seasons with the Wildcats winning five of the last eight games between the clubs, and had won three in a row before pulling off a dramatic 5-4 victory Saturday after the Wildcats had cruised to a 9-4 victory in the series-opener The Wildcats won two-of-three in both the last meeting at Arizona and on The Farm prior to this season Last year, Stanford opened the series with an 11-9 comeback win after allowing five runs in the bottom of the first but dropped the final two games The middle contest was one for the ages with Arizona scoring four times in the bottom of the ninth for a 19-18 victory after Stanford had taken the lead with a six-run top of the ninth that included a grandslam by Jed Lowrie, who finished the game 6-for-6 The last time the teams met at Sunken Diamond, Brian Anderson's solo homer lifted Arizona to a 4-3 win in the opener In the middle game, Stanford scored eight runs in the bottom of the eighth for a 10-9 comeback victory but Arizona took the series with an 11-6 win in the rubber game to end a Stanford run of 15 consecutive home series victories Stanford last won a series against the Wildcats in 2002, taking two-of-three including a 5-4 win in 18 innings in the opener Stanford had won 13 straight series over Arizona with six of the series victories sweeps prior to 2003 Arizona's last sweep of the Cardinal came in Tucson from February 26 - March 1, 1993
