STANFORD BASEBALL

Edmund Muth's two-run home run in the top of the eleventh gave Stanford a 6-4 lead and the Cardinal survived a San Jose State rally in the bottom of the inning to win 6-5 at Municipal Stadium in San Jose. The Spartans tied the game 4-4 in the ninth on Casey Chesier's two-run homer off reliever Justin Wayne to send the game into extra innings. It was mostly a pitching duel tonight as starter Jeff Austin went 5 innings and held SJS to one run on 6 hits, 2 walks and 6 K's. Austin Coose pitched into the 7th and gave way to Wayne who went the final 5 innings for the win. San Jose State used eight pitchers with Brian Greene taking the loss. Josh Hochgesang led the offense with 3 hits. Jay Pecci and Joe Borchard had 2 RBI's apiece.
