What was the Stanford 3rd base coach thinking?  Or did two runners go through stop signs?   Two more runs would have been really big.

Excellent question :( Runners just aren't going to outrun ~60mph throws from the outfield.

Per the ESPN replay during the game, the 3rd base coach was signaling Crampton to continue on to third base.  The ESPN analysist was critical of this call by the 3rd base coach, indicating the outfielder had the ball in his hand before Crampton had even reached 2nd base.
