Fullerton walks away winners

By Lara Boyko - February 03, 2007

After building an 11-run lead in the first four innings and watching Stanford try to stage a comeback in the fifth inning with three runs and then two runs in the top of the ninth, the Titans opened up the 2007 season with a 11-5 victory.

The 3,095 fans in attendance lived up to the LA fan reputation by starting to empty the stands after the bottom of the eighth inning, but it was the die-hards (or simply crazy) fans who braved the cold to watch the final outs of the game.

Fullerton wins the battle tonight, but with this being just the start of the weekend, Stanford is looking to even up the series tomorrow night starting at 6 pm. Expected pitching match ups for tomorrow are Fullerton's Jeff Kaplan and Stanford's Jeffrey Inman.
