What a massive win! (Thanks ESPN for getting the news wrong; would have loved seeing the comeback). Stanford really stole one here, but all wins count the same.
3 Stanford hits and only 2 runners left on base are enough to see the Cardinal past the Huskies. Only one need 1 more win (though 2 would be great) to claim a big series win and punctuate the postseason resume.

And that wraps up a perfect sports Friday.

Woke up this morning a friend says they played. Got to my recording what an awesome win. Speed kills
RE: Stanford Softball 2022-2023 - d4cohn - 05-06-2023
Alana is dealing in the circle tonight. She already has 4K's in 2 innings of work.
Card left the bases loaded in the B1; let's see if they can score in the 2nd.

Announcer said Allister confirmed Vawter will return for her covid year next season. Lim isn’t listed as celebrating Sr day so assume she will also be back

The best news of the night!
We are still scoreless, now through 4.
RE: Stanford Softball 2022-2023 - d4cohn - 05-06-2023
Stanford falls in a tight 1-0 contest. Stanford missed its opportunity
to break the game open in the B1 with bases loaded and only 1 out
against Washington's #2 starter, who is not very good at least by the
standards of the Pac.
By losing tonight, Sunday's Senior Day becomes very very big.
Cardinal helped by Texas already dropping a series to Baylor,
Northwestern losing to Rutgers, and Arkansas losing to Mizzou.
RE: Stanford Softball 2022-2023 - BobK - 05-07-2023
It’s Sr Day at Stanford. 6 Srs playing their final game. Three are long time starters and in Grad school playing their 5th season
Stanford is playing for 2nd place
Canady on the mound

Stanford suffers a very disappointing run rule loss to lose the game and series to the Huskies.
This could end up being a pretty large blow to the top 8 national seed hopes to lose a home series like this. It is frustrating, because with just a little more hitting yesterday, this series and top 8 seed would have been locked up given the sweep loss Texas just suffered to Baylor, Georgia losing a series to LSU and Arkansas dropping a series to lowly Missouri (also throw in Oklahoma State getting swept at home by Oklahoma).
Stanford definitely has work to do in the Pac tourney, starting with a #4-#5 matchup with Oregon. Win that, and top-ranked UCLA awaits (or one of the Arizona schools, presuming either pulls off a historic upset of the Bruins lol).
This could also possibly elevate the Huskies to a top 8 seed.
I don't want to place too much emphasis on one game, but this game and this series was about as high leverage as it gets re Pac and tourney seeding, and UW just thoroughly deserved the series win.

I was surprised to see how much better a hitting team is than we are. They hit our best pitcher in both games. We didn't hit well at all.

Effectively, they basically wore down our pitching and saw enough pitches to learn our tendencies in the circle. We didn't get enough hits, and didn't learn enough at-bat to at-bat to adjust to their pitchers.
That is perhaps surprising for a Stanford team, because all of this goes back to pre-game scouting and film study, and in-game learning, which should and I believe is a strength of our team, given the caliber of both athletic and overall intelligence on our team.

We have a very tough road to hoe in the tournament. If we beat Oregon, we probably get UCLA and if we beat them, probably Washington. For what little my opinion is worth, it seems to me our biggest weakness as a team is our hitting. We are a small ball team that has lived off our speed. We do not really have any power hitters. Look at the season homerun figures for UCLA, Washington and Oregon. The totals are 60, 57 and 58. We have 19. Utah with 37 has twice as many as we do. How many bunt singles do we have? Our best pitcher got hit by Washington in both games, although we managed to win the first.
I hope we have some power coming in next year. The bunt single gets a runner on, but you need better hitting to turn that single into a run. While it is a much different game in many ways, look at the baseball team. They overcome what is often so so pitching with a bunch of guys who can turn a bunt single into 2 runs. The long ball can be very demoralizing and we need more of them.
RE: Stanford Softball 2022-2023 - BobK - 05-08-2023
On D1 Washington is now 5 Stanford 8
We don’t slap and don’t really bunt much
Certainly little power. Yes power coming in post season I’ll get into that but can be an adjustment to college especially on the Pac 9

RE: Stanford Softball 2022-2023 - Spiny_Norman - 05-11-2023
Stanford scored 2 in the bottom of the 7th to beat Oregon 4-3 in the P12 tournament! Tremendous, clutch win.
RE: Stanford Softball 2022-2023 - cardfan77 - 05-11-2023
What a game! Hopefully the hitting continues to improve.
RE: Stanford Softball 2022-2023 - d4cohn - 05-11-2023
That game, specifically the ending, was just remarkable. Can't overstate how big that win is re seeding in the NCAA tournament.
With other results around the country, namely LSU and Georgia losing early, Oklahoma State in position to lose to Kansas,
I think we are decent to good shape to get a top 8 seed. A win against the Bruins tomorrow would all but clinch it. UCLA
needed a late rally to stave off Arizona, so I think we have a chance to make it competitive if we can provide the run support.

And, some power with two home runs. One was in the seventh, Card was down 3-2 and Morikawa hit one out to right field. Then, a bunt I think, and another bunt leading to a couple of errors, and a very fast River somebody coming all the way around from first.
RE: Stanford Softball 2022-2023 - BobK - 05-12-2023
Chung with the HR. But agree what a great finish in fact unreal finish
We now have a solid chance at a top 8 seed. Tonight we have to hold Tom Brady’s niece in check. Last night she hit 2 HR
The game is in ESPN 2 at 7:30!
