SCU took three of four from Cal. Not unhappy about that. Stanford vs. SCU at Sunken Diamond on April 1, 6:05 first pitch, and May 6 at Schott Stadium in SCU.

Matt Scott struggled, giving up 6 runs (5 earned) in 3.2 innings. Ty Uber (1.1 innings) & Trevor Moore (3 innings) shut down the Heels while the Stanford offense took over. Brandon Larson led the way, going 2-for-5 with a grand slam & 6 RBI. Nick Dugan gave up 3 runs in the 9th without getting an out - victimized by a weird hop on what looked like a possible double play ball. Aidan Keenan came in and faced just 3 hitters to close it out.
Enjoyable broadcast on ACCNX. Carolina announcers were complimentary of this Stanford team and of the history of Stanford baseball.
And none of UNC's wins coming into the game were by a single run. That's a very good team, and this is an excellent win. UNC gave up 9 runs to Kansas State in a 12-9 win, and 6 to East Carolina in an 11-6 win. All their other wins were five or fewer runs given up. Hanging 13 runs on #7 ranked UNC on the road is quite an accomplishment.
Hopefully, Stanford has the same result tomorrow.
