Stanford’s starter Nolan Gallagher was really cruising, with two outs and none on in the 7th. Since Texas jumped to a 3-0 lead, Gallagher had retired 19 of the last 21 batters, but he gave up a single and a walk, and Mark Marquess decided to bring in Matt Manship for relief. He did not provide any.

Drew Stubbs hit a hard shot at down to third that appeared to hit the seam where the turf meets the dirt cutout, causing it to bounce over the third baseman’s glove and roll to the wall, scoring two runs. Chance Wheeless hit Manship’s next pitch up the middle, scoring Stubbs. Manship was clearly rattled, bouncing one pitch several feet in front of home, and later forgetting about Wheeless, who got a huge jump and stole second. Kainer then delivered a single to score Wheeless and send Manship to the showers.

Erik Davis then came out of the bullpen to get an inning-ending fly out.

Stanford just went 1-2-3 in the bottom of the inning. We go to the 8th...
