Box Score |  Notes

Stanford, CA - Carlos Quentin's two-out RBI single in the bottom of the 10th inning scored Chris O'Riordan to lift Stanford to a 10-9 victory over Texas in the first NCAA Regional Championship Game at Sunken Diamond. The two teams will square off again in a second Championship Game again at Sunken Diamond at 6 p.m. PST. The winner will advance to an NCAA Super Regional versus South Carolina. Stanford has never swept a doubleheader on the final day of an NCAA Regional to move on in the NCAA Tournament.

Quentin drilled a 1-0 pitch from Gerrit Simpson into right field to send Sunken Diamond into a frenzy. O'Riordan had singled to left field with one out in the bottom of the 10th inning to start the rally and moved to second base on a walk to Ken Tirpack.

Texas's Ben King sent the game into extra innings when he hit a three-run homer off Stanford reliever Mike Wodnicki down the right field line to tie the score at 9-9 in the top of the 9th inning.

Andy Topham had his first two-homer game and had four RBI to pace Stanford's offense, which exploded for five runs in the 6th inning to counter a five-run 5th inning by the Longhorns.

Quentin (4-6, 4 RBI) set a career-high with four hits, including his game-winning hit.
