[JJJ]

I caught bits and pieces of Stanford ending Cal's baseball season, 11-4. Jimmy Nati had a great game at the plate and made a nice shoestring catch in the outfield.

So one down and four to go! Next up is 5-seed Miami, which I'm guessing is a lock for the NCAA tournament given the Hurricanes 36-17 (16-14) record and 31 RPI.

For the stats geeks, here are some team comparisons, regular-season conference games only:

Head-to-head @ Stanford, April 17-19:
Stanford 3, Miami 6
Stanford 3, Miami 4
Stanford 14, Miami 6


Stanford batting: .373 OB%/.479 SLG%
Miami: .365/.434

Stanford fielding: .964
Miami : .957

Stanford runs scored: 189
Miami: 197

Stanford staff ERA: 6.79
Miami: 5.69

Stanford runs allowed: 220 (197 earned)
Miami: 198 (168)

Thanks for the stats! I was at the Friday and Sunday games (but won’t make the game tomorrow)… Now if we can only keep the bats awake and the ERA below the mean!
