I'm a little lost with no hoops on a Thursday, so I thought I'd point out that we have an 11-game baseball homestand starting tomorrow vs Grand Canyon.

Notables

• Stanford returns to Sunken Diamond on Friday, opening an 11-game homestand by welcoming Grand Canyon to The Farm. 
  
• The Cardinal is seeking a breakout game offensively, having yet to score more than four runs in a game this season. Austin Kretzschmar, Chrisian Molfetta, Christian Robinson and Tim Tawa share the team lead with six hits.
  
• There is a youth movement on The Farm in 2020, as five freshmen have started at least three games. Brock Jones leads the group with eight starts while Cole Hinkelman is enjoying the most offensive success, batting .385 with four doubles among his five hits to go with nine total bases.
  
• Sophomore Alex Williams has highlighted the weekend rotation for the Cardinal. In 12.2 innings this season, Williams has a 0.71 ERA with 13 strikeouts against just four hits and three walks. Williams was named Pac-12 Pitcher of the Week following his performance against Cal State Fullerton on Feb. 16, when he went seven innings in a 2-1 win. One week later against Tennessee, Williams struck out a career-high 10 batters in 5.2 innings, while not allowing an earned run.
  
• Sophomores Brandon Dieter and Nicolas Lopez have emerged as key arms out of the bullpen. Dieter owns a 3.60 ERA, having allowed two runs in five innings with nine strikeouts, including a three-inning, six-strikeout performance at California on Feb. 25. Meanwhile, Lopez is unscored upon in 4.1 innings while walking only two and fanning four in four appearances.
