A Bowser double and Troy single gave Stanford a much-needed insurance run in the bottom of the 8th.

Mathews scuffled big time in the ninth.  With 2 runs in and the runners at 1st & 2nd, Mathews gets a pop up to close out the 5-4 win.

I think Mathews sometimes gets bored and loses focus. Putting the game on the line is his wake-up call. Plus a visit from Coach Eager.

How hot is this team?? Hopefully the calendar turning to June does not stop this run. My biggest takeaway from today is Dixon has shown enough on the mound to get the start next Friday night. Just like today you can have Mathews ready to go, but getting through game one of the regional without using Williams would be massive!

Agree. And that’s consistent with Esquer’s strategy in the tournament.
