Tommy O'Rourke gets the Fullerton batter to swing at strike 3 with the bases loaded in the top of the 8th. Stanford still leads 1-0.
O'Rourke was down 2-1 in the count when the home plate umpire called strike 2 without O'Rourke throwing a pitch. The batter stepped out of the box without calling for time. Since he had not swung at the prior pitch, a called strike, he was not allowed to do that. At least, that is what the announcer explained. As a result, he was assessed a strike. Have never seen that before.
Grad transfer Joe Lomuscio made an incredible diving catch in right center for the final out of the game to sew up Stanford's 1-0 victory! Look for that highlight on your favorite Stanford sports social media channel soon.
