STANFORD BASEBALL

Starter Jeff Austin won his first start of the year with six strong shutout innings and Jody Gerut provided the offense with three doubles and 4 RBI's as the Cardinal had an easy time with the Broncos of Santa Clara. Austin gave up three hits, walked one and struck out five. Two of the three hits were infield singles that bounced off of Austin. Freshman Justin Wayne made his college debut by pitching the final three innings giving up three hits and striking out five with only one bad pitch that resulted in a two-run home run. Nick Day went 3 for 3 with a triple. Tony Schrager was 2 for 4, and 3 RBI's. John Salter was 2 for 3 with 2 RBI's before turning over the catching duties to Damien Alvarado who was 2 for 2 with 1 RBI.
