Sort of.
Stanford won the Pac 10 football championship outright and went to the Rose Bowl.
Stanford tied for the Pac 10 basketball championship with Arizona. I think that Arizona won the automatic bid for the tournament by virtue of beating Stanford twice head to head.
Stanford tied for the Pac 10 baseball championship with Arizona State and USC. ASU got the automatic bid to the tournament by beating both Stanford and USC 2 out of 3 in the head to head series.
Stanford was in the CWS in 2000, one of several years where they lost the championship in heart-breaking fashion, but particularly so this year. There was a single championship game then - between the winners of the two four-team sub-sets of the CWS. In the championship game vs LSU, Stanford seemed to be well set up with both their aces, Jason Young and Justin Wayne, rested and ready to go. Young started and was replaced by Wayne after 4 innings (2 runs, 4 hits). Wayne retired the first 10 batters he faced getting to a a 5-2 lead with 1 out in the 8th - then it all imploded. LSU got two homers in the 8th to tie the game and a walk off single with two on in the ninth won it 6-5.Â
Highlights.
