Stanford stays alive with 8-4 victory over Texas State
STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Carter Graham hit two home runs, Drew Bowser hit a two-run shot in the bottom of the seventh inning and No. 2 overall seed Stanford pulled away for an 8-4 victory over Texas State, forcing a Monday showdown between the schools for the Stanford Regional title. Stanford (44-15) had its back against the wall after losing 5-2 to Texas State (47-13) on Saturday night. The Cardinal got another shot at the Bobcats by beating UC Santa Barbara 8-4 in an elimination game earlier Sunday. The winner earns a spot in the Super Regionals.
