Stanford is 10-3 in Pac-10 sets over the stretch, including a 2-1 mark in After dropping two of three at California in the opening conference series of the season, the Cardinal has rebounded to win each of its past two Pac-10 sets (vs. Washington and at Oregon). Five is Fine Stanford is 10-4 this season when scoring at least five runs in a game, and 1-8 when plating four or fewer. Two-out Magic Stanford has scored 62 of its 123 runs (50.4%) this season with two outs in an inning. The Cardinal is batting.258 (68-for-264) with two outs. Start Me Up Stanford s weekend rotation of junior RHP Jeffrey Inman, freshman RHP Jordan Pries and freshman LHP Brett Mooneyham has keyed consecutive Pac-10 series wins for the Cardinal. Against Washington and at Oregon, the trio has combined to go 4-1 with a 2.56 ERA (11er, 38.2ip) and a.194 opponents average (26-for-134). They have also posted 34 strikeouts while issuing just 11 walks. The three hurlers have worked at least 6.0 innings in five of the six starts, while completing 7.0 frames in four of the contests. Can t Touch This The freshman duo of LHP Brett Mooneyham and RHP Jordan Pries have been among the nation s toughest pitchers to hit thus far in Mooneyham ranks 13th among all NCAA Division I hurlers with an average of 5.54 hits allowed per nine innings (16h, 26.0ip), while Pries checks in at 17th with his average of 5.64 (19h, 30.1ip). Mooneyham has limited opposing hitters to a.193 average (16-for-83) to ranks 5th in the Pac-10, while Pries is third with a.176 mark (19-for-108). Mooneyham is also 83rd nationally with an average of strikeouts per 9.0 innings (29so). Pries Stellar Start Freshman RHP Jordan Pries has gone 3-0 with a 3.86 ERA (13er, 30.1ip) over his first six collegiate outings (four starts). The Alameda, Calif. native is the first Stanford freshman to start 3-0 with at least one of the wins coming as part of the regular weekend rotation since Greg Reynolds in Mark Romanczuk won his first 12 decisions as a freshman in 2003, with the first three victories coming out of the bullpen before winning nine starts en route to a 12-2 debut campaign. Austin Yount was a perfect 4-0 in 16 relief appearances during his freshman 2006 season. Swing and a Miss Sophomore RHP Drew Storen has continued to demonstrate the electric stuff that made him a freshman All-American in 2008, as he has compiled 28 strikeouts in just 16.0 innings of work - an average of punchouts per 9.0 innings. Storen has allowed just one walk thus far in 2009, while forging a 2-0 record with three saves (tied for fifth in the Pac-10) and a 1.69 ERA (3er, 16.0ip) in a staff-high 11 relief appearances. Storen has tossed 7.2 consecutive scoreless innings over his last four outings, with 14 strikeouts and no walks. Stanford s closer is 1-0 with two saves over the stretch, while limiting opponents to just four hits in 27 at-bats (.148). Storen has a career 4.9:1 strikeout-to-walk ratio, fanning 78 against 16 free passes in 72.1 innings pitched. Setting the Table Sophomore second baseman Colin Walsh has been Stanford s leadoff hitter for each of the past 14 games, and has posted a.536 on-base percentage as the Cardinal has gone 9-5 in those contests. He has is hitting.347 (17-for-49) during the stretch, with 12 runs scored, three doubles, six RBI, 19 walks, one hit-by-pitch and two stolen bases. The switch-hitting Walsh has hit safely in 10 of those games (including four multi-hit efforts), while he has reached base safely via hit, walk or hit-by-pitch in 13 contests (including 12 games reaching base safely at least twice). In addition, Walsh has played flawless defense at second base, handling all 58 chances without an error. Walsh has drawn 21 bases on balls in his 22 contests overall, ranking 13th in the country by drawing an average of 0.95-walk per game. He is tied for third in the Pac-10 for walks, while ranking 10th with an overall.457 on-base percentage. His 12 walks in Pac-10-only games leads the conference, while he is tied for fourth with nine runs and ranks fifth with a.533 on-base mark in those contests. Walsh has hit safely in 20 of his last 26 starts dating back to 2008, going 34-for-98 (.347) with 23 runs scored, seven doubles, 14 RBI and 26 walks. Toby on a Tear Following a 5-for-9 effort this past weekend at Oregon, junior OF Toby Gerhart is hitting at a.452 clip (14-for-31) with seven runs scored, two doubles, two triples, two home runs and nine RBI over his last eight contests. He has hit safely in six multi-hit efforts over the stretch, including a pair of three-hit games. His offensive success in Pac-10 play ranks Gerhart among leaders for conference-only games in: triples (t-1st - 2), stolen bases (t-2nd - 4), total bases (3rd - 24), hits (t-4th - 14), home runs (t-5th - 2),

Iron Man is Heating Up Sophomore shortstop Jake Schlander, who has started at SS for each of Stanford s 90 games during his collegiate career, is 11-for-26 (.423) with 10 runs scored, two doubles, one triple, one home run and four RBI over the last eight games. The Cardinal shortstop is tied for fourth in the conference with nine runs scored during Pac-10 play. In 2008, Schlander became the first Stanford freshman to start every game at shortstop since games played became an officially kept statistic in The Scottsdale, Ariz. native was the first Cardinal rookie to start each contest at any position since current San Diego Padres outfielder Jody Gerut did so in Mr. Consistency Throughout his four years on The Farm, senior outfielder Joey August has been a picture of consistency at the plate. Stanford s active leader in batting average and hits, he owns a career.309 batting average (174-for-563) in 166 games (127 starts). He is also a lifetime.323 hitter (71- for-220) in 57 career Pac-10 contests. August has enjoyed a power surge recently, hitting all four of his home runs within the last eight games. Three of those have come in Pac-10 contests, as he finds himself in a four-way tie for the most home runs in conference play. August hammered his first career grand slam in Stanford s 13-3 victory over Washington March 27, then the Salem, Ore. native went deep in front of family and friends during the Cardinal s 3-1 win April 4 at Oregon. August has hit safely in 11 of his last 13 games overall, going 15-for-55 (.273). Gaylord Getting it Done Junior infielder Adam Gaylord has hit safely in 10 of the 14 games he has had an at-bat, while he leads the club with a.310 batting average (13-for-42). He has added two doubles, seven RBI and a club-best four sacrifice bunts, while he already has 12 more hits than he did in 2008 (one, in only 15 at-bats). Gaylord has started 13 games - 11 at third base and two at second. Thieves, Beware Sophomore Zach Jones, who has started 11 games at catcher (in addition to 12 at third base), has thrown out an outstanding 45 percent of attempted base stealers (nine of 20). He ranks third in the Pac-10 by nailing nine would-be base thieves, while he has also picked off a runner. Stanford has posted a 7-4 record in his starts behind the plate, while Cardinal pitchers have logged a 4.27 ERA (47er, 99.0ip) in those contests. Milly is Mashing Senior 1B Brent Milleville has come alive over his last eight games, going 9-for-26 (.346) with seven runs scored, three home runs and seven RBI. Milleville has hit safely in six of those eight contests, including a trio of multi-hit contests. Power From the Northwest Sophomore right fielder Kellen Kiilsgaard is tied for seventh in the Pac-10 with six home runs and is just outside the top-10 with a.577 slugging percentage. However, he is tied for first with three roundtrippers in Pac-10 play, while tying for second with 11 RBI in conference games. Kiilsgaard, a two-sport star at Auburn (Wash.) High School, was a redshirt freshman on Stanford s 2007 football squad, but gave up the gridiron to concentrate solely on baseball. Fearnow Bullish Out of the Pen Senior right-hander Max Fearnow has been very impressive since moving to the Stanford bullpen, with a 1.69 ERA (2er, 10.2ip) over five relief outings. He has allowed just eight hits in 39 at-bats (.205), with one walk and nine strikeouts. Fearnow earned the win March 25 at UC Davis with 3.0-innings of two-hit, shutout relief. After allowing a pair of singles in his first inning, he retired the final seven batters he faced as Stanford scored five runs. Sandbrink Success Sophomore right-hander Danny Sandbrink has gone 1-0 with a 2.00 ERA (2er, 9.0ip) over his last four outings (two starts). In the equivalent of a complete game, he has allowed six hits and four walks, with nine strikeouts. Sandbrink started a pair of midweek games, tossing 3.0-scoreless innings in Stanford s 5-2 win at UC Davis March 25, and earned the win with 4.0-effective frames in a 10-2 triumph March 30 at Pacific. He has also stranded both inherited runners, including retiring Oregon s four-five hitters on just two pitches April 3 in Eugene. From Walk-on to Winning Pitcher Sophomore reliever Carey Schwartz, who attended Palo Alto High School and wished to someday play at Stanford, was a huge success story in 2008 by making the club as a walk-on. The story has become even better in 2009, as he ranks third among Cardinal relievers with a 4.32 ERA (4er, 8.1ip) over seven appearances.

The Cardinal has retained the services of the following starting position players: OF Joey August (Sr.), OF Toby Gerhart (Jr.), 3B Zach Jones (So.), 1B Brent Milleville (Sr.), SS Jake Schlander (So.) and OF Jeff Whitlow (Sr.). Please note that Gerhart and Whitlow spent a majority of last season in a platoon role. RHP Max Fearnow (Sr.), RHP Jeffrey Inman (Jr.) and RHP Danny Sandbrink (So.) all saw significant time in the 2008 rotation, while closer Drew Storen (RHP - So). is back after a freshman All-America campaign. A New Guard On the flip side, 230 of Stanford s 778 at-bats (29.6%) have been taken by players who had fewer than 20 at-bats in 2008: Mike Garza (5 in 2009, high school in 2008); Adam Gaylord (42 in 09, 15 in 08); Christian Griffiths (14 in 09, HS in 08); J.J. Jelmini (3 in 09, 3 in 08); Jonathan Kaskow (45 in 09, 5 in 08); Kellen Kiilsgaard (78 in 09, 3 in 08); Kellen McColl (3 in 09, 0 in 08); Min (Brian) Moon (26 in 09, 0 in 08) and Wande Olabisi (14 in 09, 4 in 08). Likewise, 94.3 of the Cardinal s innings pitched (46.0%) have been handled by players who threw less than 20.0 frames in 2008: Brian Busick (3.0 in 2009, high school in 2008); Brett Mooneyham (26.0 in 09, HS in 08); Jordan Pries (30.1 in 09, HS in 08); Chris Reed (1.1 in 09, HS in 08); Carey Schwartz (8.1 in 09, 3.1 in 08); Scott Snodgress (13.0 in 09, HS in 08); Kyle Thompson (2.2 in 09, 0.0 in 08) and Brandt Walker (9.2 in 09, 6.0 in 08). Inman Named to Golden Spikes Award Watch List; Third-Team All-America Junior right-handed pitcher Jeffrey Inman has been named by USA Baseball as one of 50 players on the preseason Golden Spikes Award Watch List, while he is also a preseason thirdteam All-America selection by Baseball America. Sponsored by Major League Baseball, the Golden Spikes Award is in its 32nd season honoring the top player in college baseball. The list will be paired down to 30 on May 26 and again to five finalists on June 2, while the winner will be announced in a July 15 awards show as part of MLB All-Star festivities in St. Louis. Inman played a key role in Stanford s run to the 2008 College World Series, going 7-2 with a 4.27 ERA (34er, 71.2ip) in 16 games (13 starts) as a sophomore. He then followed his sophomore collegiate campaign by striking out 34 batters in just 31.1 innings for the Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox, and was tabbed by Baseball America as the ninth-best prospect in the 2008 Cape Cod League. Storen Named to NCBWA Stopper of the Year Watch List Stanford sophomore right-hander Drew Storen is one of 40 players selected to the initial watch list for the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association Stopper of the Year Award. The award is in its fifth season, and honors the top relief pitcher in NCAA Division I baseball. Storen emerged as one of college baseball s premier closers during a stellar freshman campaign in 2008, going 5-3 with eight saves and a 3.51 ERA (22er, 56.1ip) in a club-high 31 relief outings. He was a first-team freshman All-America selection by Collegiate Baseball/Louisville Slugger, while he earned second-team honors from Rivals.com and third-team accolades from Ping!Baseball. The first-team All-Pac-10 performer was fourth in the league for saves (second among freshmen), while he tied for the seventh-highest single-season save total in Stanford history. Following Stanford s 2008 season, Storen served as the closer for the Cotuit Kettleers in the prestigious Cape Cod League. He posted five saves, a 2.76 ERA (5er, 16.1ip) and.200 average against (12-for-60) in 13 relief appearances, with 15 strikeouts against five walks. From the Gridiron to the Diamond Junior OF Toby Gerhart is the latest in a proud Stanford tradition of two-sport athletes. During the 2008 football season, the running back established Stanford s single-season rushing record with 1,136 yards. The bruising runner averaged 5.4 yards per carry (210 attempts), while scoring 15 rushing touchdowns - good for second in school history. Professional Lineage Stanford has eight players on its 35-man roster that has had a parent or grandparent play professional sports: Joey August (father, Bill, was a quarterback with the NFL s San Francisco 49ers in 1975, but did not play in a game); Toby Gerhart (father, Todd, played in the USFL with the Denver Gold in and went to NFL training camp with the Minnesota Vikings in 1986 and Houston Oilers in 1987); Jonathan Kaskow (father, Chris, played men s doubles tennis at Wimbledon in 1977); Kellen Kiilsgaard (grandfather, Carl, played for the NFL s Chicago Cardinals in 1950); Michael Marshall (father, Mike, was a two-time World Series champion and played 11 MLB seasons from with the Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Mets and Boston Red Sox); Kellen McColl (father, Milt was a two-time Super Bowl champion during an eight-year NFL career with the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Raiders from ; grandfather, Bill, played for the NFL s Chicago Bears from ; uncle, Duncan, was drafted by the NFL s Washington Redskins in 1977); Brett Mooneyham (father, Bill, pitched for the Oakland Athletics in 1986) and Jordan

6 2009 Stanford Baseball A Memorable Run to Omaha - A Look Back at 2008 Stanford finished the 2008 season in a familiar place - Omaha, Neb., as the program made its 16th trip to the College World Series. The Cardinal tied for third at the CWS after a 2-2 record that featured victories over Florida State and Miami (Fla.). Stanford s NCAA Tournament run was indeed impressive, as after losing the opening game of the Regional, the Cardinal tied a school record for a single postseason with seven consecutive victories - four to win the Regional, two in a Super Regional sweep at Cal State Fullerton and one in the College World Series opener. Head coach Mark Marquess led Stanford to a mark and second-place finish in the Pac-10, as the Cardinal finished in the league s top two for the 23rd time in the last 28 seasons. Stanford had five first-team All-Pac-10 selections, matching Arizona and conference champion Arizona State for most in the league. The Next Level The Stanford Baseball program, which as seen 80 of its former players make it to the majors, had seven players from last year s roster selected in the 2008 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft. Jason Castro led the way when he was selected by the Houston Astros with the 10th overall pick of the draft. Next was Jeremy Bleich, who was chosen in the Compensation A round by the New York Yankees (44th pick overall). Stanford had four first-day choices overall, as Cord Phelps was nabbed by the Cleveland Indians in the third round (107th overall) and Sean Ratliff was selected by the New York Mets in the fourth round (134th overall). The draft s second day saw the selections of Austin Yount by the Los Angeles Dodgers (12th round, 367th pick overall), Erik Davis by the San Diego Padres (13th round, 405th overall) and Randy Molina by the Seattle Mariners (43rd round, 1,272nd overall). Pries (grandfather, Bud Daley, was a two-time World Series winner during a 10-year MLB career with the Cleveland Indians, Kansas City Athletics and New York Yankees from ). Stanford Among the All-Time Best Currently in its 116th season of college baseball, Stanford has posted the fifth-most wins of any NCAA Division I program with a 2,570-1, (.613) all-time record. That ledger includes 128 NCAA Tournament wins over 28 appearances, tied for the sixth-most all-time. Leading the Pac Since the Pac-10 disbanded the two-division system and realigned prior to the 1999 season, Stanford leads all conference teams with 442 wins, four league titles and six trips to the College World Series. Cardinal Consistency Stanford has finished at least.500 in 15 straight seasons, and in 31 of 32 campaigns under head coach Mark Marquess. The Cardinal has also advanced to the NCAA Tournament in 25 of the last 28 years (since 1982), while advancing to the College World Series 14 times over that span. By virtue of that success, players on 28 of the last 30 four-year graduating classes at Stanford have played in Omaha.
