Stanford up 1-0 after six innings.  Stanford hitting does not look World Series caliber.  LBS lost 21 games this year.

But thankfully the pitching does. And at this stage, it is down to matchups. A potent Florida offense that struggled with the heavy Bay Area air against either Vawter or Canady.

Long Beach also isn't an ordinary 4 seed; they have a pretty storied program history with multiple WCWS appearances, were coming into tonight's game on a 8 game winning streak, and they needed all of them to win their conference regular season title and earn the auto bid.
