STANFORD, CALIFORNIA (March 8, 2009) The Texas Longhorns used a five-run fourth inning and Cole Green pitched seven strong innings to register a 5-1 win over the Stanford Cardinal at the Sunken Diamond.
The win moved Texas to 12-1 on the season and gave the Horns their third series win of the season.
Green (2-0) scattered three hits and two walks while striking out three and allowed just one run over his 7.0 innings. Austin Wood allowed just one hit over the last two innings to close out the contest.
The Horns did all of their damage in the fourth inning. With one out, Tant Shepherd singled to rightfield and David Hernandez drew a walk from Stanford starter Scott Snodgress. Brett Mooneyham came in to relieve Snodgress and gave up the seal-breaking hit to Cameron Rupp who singled up the middle to plate Shepherd. Kevin Keyes drew a walk to load the bases and after Connor Rowe struck out looking, Jordan Etier inflated the cushion with a two-run single up the middle and Brandon Loy capped off the rally with a two-run single down the rightfield line.
Stanford (3-7) scored its lone run of the game in the fifth inning when Kellen Kiilsgaard launched a leadoff shot into the trees in rightfield.
Etier and Loy each had two RBI to lead the Texas offense which logged six hits and nine walks on the afternoon.
Snodgress (0-1) was saddled with the loss. He allowed two runs on two hits and four walks while striking out three over 3.1 innings.
Texas returns to action on Wednesday when the Longhorns host the Baylor Bears in a 6 p.m. contest at UFCU Disch-Falk Field.
