Pac-10: Nodding off in the press box

By Lindsay Schnell - June 12, 2006

Do you think Domino's delivers to the ballpark?

Here on press row, we're all pretty bored.

A fly ball popped up and one Stanford outfielder fell trying to catch it, but his teammate made a spectacular diving catch to get the second out of the seventh inning.

Oregon State first baseman Bill Rowe hit a double that flirted with going over the fence but dropped inside at the lasat second. Rowe scored a batter later when Tyler Graham hit him home. Beavers now up 13-0 in the top of eight.

The pitching struggle continues for Stanford -- the Cardinal brought in Sean Ratliff, but things are still not going very well.

You gotta feel for Stanford shortstop Chris Minaker. Last night in the press conference Minaker talked at length about not getting down because of the loss and promised the Cardinal would come out aggressive. Every time Stanford has come to the dugout before batting Minaker has tried to pump up his teammates, but it's just not working.
