It rained on and off for the first four innings, but in the last few minutes it has really started coming down, with no end in sight. So much for beautiful Northern Califonria weather.

Fresno State got on the board early, with a run in the first courtesy of a passed ball and a balk. Stanford answered back with a pair of unearned runs in the bottom of the first. With two outs second baseman Erik Wetzel couldn't hang on to a routine groundball, which allowed a run to come in from second. Austin Yount gave the Card the lead on the very next pitch, taking a fastball from Fresno State starter Brandon Miller to right field to score a run.

Stanford scored four runs in the bottom of the third, three of them coming on the Gerhart home run.

The crowd, which was sparse to begin with, looks even smaller as fans head for cover. The weather report is not good and we could be waiting for a while. I'll keep you up to date as the situation changes.
