Stanford hosted their regional and defeated San Jose State in the opener, but lost to Texas A&M in the second game.  The Cardinal responded by beating Cal State Fullerton and then beat the Aggies twice to advance.

Whichever team wins  two of three will advance to Omaha for the College World Series.

Lucas Gordon done with 2 outs in the 6th. Gave up a HR and we trail 3-2. Stanford has runners at 1rst and 3rd. Gordon battled but he had a lot of pitches early and finished with 110 pitches.

It's not all over by any stretch. This was a game that we needed to take, especially since their ace isnt pitching until tomorrow but this team has bounced back from adversity time after time this year.

 

[BWilk55]

We do talk about Bruno! 

Ryan Bruno, closer for Stanford walks the bases loaded in the 9th. To the bullpen the go with no outs and tying run on first!

 

[BWilk55]

An error in right field allows Texas to score 2. Slow ground ball up the middle is a FC RBI for Jared Thomas. 

5-5, runner on 3rd, 1 out

 

[BWilk55]

A walk and now Dylan Campbell (hitless today), comes to the plate with 1 out and runners on the corners...goosebumps

 

[BWilk55]

A walk and now Dylan Campbell (hitless today), comes to the plate with 1 out and runners on the corners...goosebumps

nevermind, they intentionally walk to load the bases. 

 

[BWilk55]

Guilmette struck out for out 2. Porter Brown then takes a 3-1 pitch to right field to score 2.

Texas 7-5

 

[BWilk55]

Bad baseball mojo for Stanford who killed Dylan Campbell's hit streak with a catcher's interference and then an intentional walk. The baseball Gods are watching

 

[BWilk55]

Guilmette struck out for out 2. Porter Brown then takes a 3-1 pitch to right field to score 2.
