STANFORD, Calif. (KRON) -- The Stanford Cardinal baseball team won the first-ever Pac-12 Tournament by defeating Oregon State 9-5 on Sunday in Scottsdale, Arizona. Infielder Carter Graham led the Cardinal with 4 hits and 2 RBIs, including a double and a triple.
Stanford pitcher Brandt Pancer recorded the save by pitching two scoreless innings -- striking out one batter and allowing one hit. To win the conference's inaugural baseball tournament, Stanford had to win these three games over the past week:
- May 25: 6-3 over Arizona State
- May 26: 15-8 over Arizona
- May 28: 5-4 over Arizona
The Cardinal's win comes against the nation's fourth-ranked team in Oregon State (44-15), according to NCAA's website. Stanford (41-14) came into Sunday's game ranked third in the country.
According to Stanford's Twitter page, the team has been named a regional host for the NCAA Tournament and a top-eight national seed. The Cardinal will find out Monday who they will host next weekend in Palo Alto.
The College World Series in Omaha begins June 17.
