And it's a final. Stanford takes the game and the series.
Here's Moran's homer to put us up 7-4

Coach Esquer earned his 301st win tonight (Tuesday) vs Saint Mary's in Stanford's final home game of the season. Stanford entered the top of the 9th with a 7-3 lead and almost choked it away. But a win is a win, even if it's a 7-6 squeaker vs the #137 RPI-ranked team.
Regular season ends @ Cal x 3, Thursday-Saturday. Cal's undergraduate commencement is Saturday at 10:30 am and the baseball game is at 3:05 pm, but I have to think the graduating Cal players will skip commencement, especially since it's their Senior Day. I don't think I've ever seen that kind of scheduling, but then again I've only attended quarter-system schools.
Seeds 5-8 get a first-round bye in next week's ACC tournament in Charlotte, NC. Stanford, at 12-15 in the conference, is sitting all alone in 10th place right now, but there's a three-way tie for 7th place at 13-14. Stanford actually has the head-to-head advantage over two of those teams, NC State (vs UNC this weekend) and Va Tech (vs Clemson). The Cardinal hasn't played Virginia (@ Louisville), the remaining team tied for 7th.
Even if Stanford gets the first-round bye, they would still need to win 4 games in 5 days to get the automatic NCAA bid. Very slim chance of that happening, but it's higher than winning 5 games in 6 days.

Stanford at Cal has started.
With bases loaded, their pitcher walks Sasaki and hits Jeon, so we’re up 2-0.
New pitcher coming in.
That first inning was apparently 2 HBP, 3 BB, and one hit.
We gave up a run B1.
Now 4-1 starting T2.

Stanford wins 7-6, I think, with Ketelson (is that the name?) throwing out the tying run at the plate after a single to left. I saw this on KRON 4 Sports with Scott Reiss 11:00 TO 11:30 PM. It's an ok show, if you are interested, often including a local college sport.

That is, indeed, the correct spelling. I've also posted the entire game on my Youtube channel. And it was a heck of a throw. Runner was out by 20 feet.

Cool pregame moment when the Jeon brothers exchanged the lineup cards. #housedivided
(Apparently, Kevin Jeon is a freshman who is injured this year and was on crutches.)

We need a run T9 to tie. One out and man on second.

Sadly a 4-3 loss
RE: Stanford Baseball 2025/26 -

And we lose 4-3 with 2 men on B9.
Let’s bounce back tomorrow!

Curious if there is a stat for runners left on base over a season. Seems like our pitchers get in trouble often, but at least lately, the staff has been able to get out of trouble often as well.

Did I really hear that? Bottom 4 2 outs Roxy Bernstein called the 3b-SS gap the “5.5 hole.”

I must’ve missed that part, but I did hear him say that if Stanford wins today, we’re the 8th seed in the ACC tourney and get a bye, but if we lose, we’re 12th and play Cal on Tuesday…

Just as Cal takes a 2–1 lead.
I got to add something from the announcers: “that’s about 900 feet of foul balls in this at bat“ Sasaki of course.

The 5.5 hole terminology was popularized in the 90s by Tony Gwynn as that was his favorite place to get base hits.

Also a terrible send by the 3rd base coach. LFer had the ball in his throwing hand before the runner even hit 3rd base.
