Kody Huff hit two grand slams on Saturday nigh, Christian Robinson hit a solo shot to lead off Stanford's seven-run second inning and the Cardinal beat UC Irvine 12 at the Stanford Regional. Top-seeded Stanford (35-14) needs one win on Sunday to clinch a Super Regional berth. After Robinson's home run in the bottom of the second, UC Irvine committed errors on three consecutive plays with two outs, allowing Tommy Troy to score and loading the bases to set up the first of Huff's slams.

Stanford baseball (20-6, 6-3 Pac-12), with solid pitching and just enough clutch hitting, was able to secure the win Wednesday against the University of the Pacific (8-20, 0-9 WCC), but squandered a few opportunities to break the game wide open.
The 2-0 midweek victory comes after a busy weekend during which the Cardinal took two out of three of its games against UCLA, winning the series but failing to secure the sweep for the fifth weekend in a row.
