Also key was the umpire making the correct call in the top of the eighth.  

After Stanford had scored the runner from second to make it 1-0 on an errant throw off a sac bunt, Gindlesperger doubled off the wall in left center.  Horeczko, trying to score from first, was steaming down the third baseline when the catcher took the throw standing straight up a good two feet down the line from home.  Horecsko slid at the bag, and collided with the catcher's shinguards, never able to reach the plate, and it appeared was initially called out.  The catcher went down in a heap, and was attended to for several minutes, as Stanford coaches checked on their player.  During that time, the umpire correctly ruled that the catcher had interfered with the runner's ability to score.

Another nice performance was the closeout by Pancino.

Great point VG. Glad we got the correct call go our way this time. We didn't get the call in the regionals last year against Boise
(incorrectly I believe), and that was a big part in sending us home.

Alana Vawter gets the start today in Game #2 against New Mexico.
