2003 NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP REVIEWStanford set new school records in the 2003 postseason, winning 10 games and playing in 13 before finishing as the runner-up to national champion Rice by losing two-of-three games to the Owls in the inaugural College World Series Championship Series. The Cardinal swept through a Regional at Sunken Diamond in three consecutive games with victories over Illinois-Chicago (9-2), UC Riverside (13-6) and Richmond (19-6). Stanford then drew Long Beach State and one of the nation’s top pitching duos in the 49ers’ Abe Alvarez and Jered Weaver for the NCAA Super Regionals, which were being televised live by ESPN for the first time ever. Stanford ace John Hudgins outlasted Alvarez in the first game as the Cardinal ended up with a 5-1 victory. Stanford would rise to the challenge again in the second contest with a 4-2 win over the 49ers. Danny Putnam snapped a 2-2 tie with a two-out, two-RBI single in the top of the seventh inning. Stanford began its fifth straight College World Series appearance with a dominating 8-0 victory over South Carolina as Hudgins and Kodiak Quick combined for Stanford’s first-ever shutout at the CWS. Stanford then suffered its first loss of the 2003 postseason with a heartbreaking 6-5 defeat to Cal State Fullerton in 10 innings as Mark Romanczuk was charged with his first loss of the season. Stanford began its improbable run back through the losers’ bracket with a 13-6 victory over South Carolina to earn a rematch with Cal State Fullerton. Hudgins tossed another complete game and Carlos Quentin jacked two homers in a 5-3 Stanford victory over the Titans, its first win after Cal State Fullerton had taken the first four games between the teams during the season. The second bracket final between the teams should long be remembered as CWS classic full of Omaha drama. Putnam’s two-run homer in the top of the 10th inning provided the winning margin in a 7-5 Stanford victory. Chris Carter and Jonny Ash had homered earlier in the game to erase a 4-1 Cal State Fullerton margin and send the game into extra innings. David O’Hagan was Stanford’s hero on the mound, holding the Titans scoreless over the final 4.1 frames. Stanford suffered a 4-3, 10-inning setback to Rice in the first game of the CWS Championship Series. The Cardinal came back with an 8-3 victory the following day as Hudgins picked up his third win of the CWS with a gutsy performance but fell one win shy of its third title in school history when Rice prevailed by a score of 14-2 in the rubber game of the series. The Cardinal set a new record by playing eight CWS games and tied a school mark with five CWS victories. Stanford racked up on the postseason honors as Hudgins led the way by becoming just the third Stanford player to ever win CWS Most Outstanding Player honors. Jonny Ash, Ryan Garko, Putnam and Quentin joined Hudgins on the All-CWS squad. Garko was also the Most Outstanding Player at the NCAA Regional and was joined on the All-Regional team by seven teammates (Ash, Sam Fuld, Brian Hall, Jed Lowrie, Ryan McCally, Putnam, Quentin).

QUICK INDIVIDUAL POSTSEASON NOTESJonny Ash has career averages of .400 (38-95) in the postseason and .396 (19-48) at the College World Series, ranking just five hits off the all-time CWS hit record … Ash has earned one All-CWS selection and two All-Regional honors … Chris Carter has excelled in the postseason with six homers in just 67 at bats (once every 11.2 at bats) and a .313 batting average … Carter earned an All-Regional selection as a freshman … Sam Fuld is one of only two Stanford players (along with Ryan Garko) to ever earn All-College World Series honors twice and holds the all-time CWS hit record with 24 … Fuld has also been selected twice to All-Regional squads … Brian Hall has one All-Regional selection … Jed Lowrie has one All-Regional selection … Danny Putnam earned a spot on the 2003 All-College World Series team after hitting .300 with a pair of homers and nine RBI … Putnam as career totals of a .302 batting average with five homers and 21 RBI in 16 career postseason games (13 starts).

NOTEBOOK

TOP OF THE PAC AGAINStanford won its second straight outright Pac-10 title by finishing with a 16-8 conference record, one game ahead of second-place Washington (15-9 Pac-10). Stanford has won 20 conference championships and 18 Pac-10 crowns in school history (includes Southern Division and shared titles). Stanford had finished second in the league standings behind two-time defending conference champion USC in 2001 and 2002 prior to its previous Pac-10 title when it shared the championship with Arizona State and UCLA in 2000. Stanford has been among the top two in the conference standings (includes Pac-10 Southern Division) for 11 straight seasons and 22 times in the last 24 years. UCLA placed third in the conference with a 14-10 league mark, followed by Arizona State (13-11), Arizona (12-12), Oregon State (10-14), USC (10-14), Washington State (9-15) and California (9-15)

STANFORD FINISHES REGULAR SEASON AT NO. 1 IN TWO OF FOUR POLLSStanford finished the regular season as the nation’s No. 1 team in the Baseball America and ESPN/Sports Weekly polls released Monday, May 31. The Cardinal is also second in the current Collegiate Baseball poll and third in the NCBWA poll. Stanford has been the nation’s unanimous No. 1 team for a total of four weeks (March 22-29, May 3, May 17) this season and the No. 1 team in the Baseball America poll for a total of 10 weeks (February 23 – April 5, May 3, May 17, May 31). Stanford has been ranked No. 1 at some point in the season for seven of the last eight campaigns. The Cardinal had a string of six consecutive seasons (1997-2002) with a top ranking going but never reached the top of the Baseball America poll in 2003. However, Stanford did finish the 2003 season ranked second in all four polls.


ANOTHER 40 WIN SEASON, SIX WINS FROM 50Stanford has extended its school record string of 40-win seasons to 10 with its current 44-12 record as the 2004 Cardinal became the third fastest team to reach the 40-win mark by going 40-10 in its first 50 games, while its 44 regular season victories ranked tied for second on the school’s all-time regular season win list. The 1990 team that set the school record with 59 wins was the fastest Stanford team to reach the 40-win mark (40-7 in its first 47 contests), while the 1998 club was 40-9-1 after 50 games. The 1990 squad also set a school record with 52 regular season victories (in 63 games). The last time Stanford didn’t win 40 games was when the club finished 27-28 in 1993. Stanford is also shooting for its fifth 50-win campaign in the last six seasons to run its total number of 50-win campaigns in school history to six. The Cardinal won a school record 59 contests in 1990. The 1987 CWS championship squad posted 53 victories, while the 2001 and 2003 teams picked up 51 wins. The Cardinal won an even 50 games in 1999 and 2000.

ANOTHER WINNING SEASONStanford’s 44 wins already assure the Cardinal of a winning season for the 11th straight year, the 39th time in the last 40 seasons and the 56th time in the last 58 campaigns. The only two seasons the Cardinal has not won more games than it has lost in the last 58 years were in 1964 (20-24) and 1993 (27-28).

STANFORD JUST 5-7 IN LAST 12 REGULAR SEASON ROAD GAMESStanford struggled to a 5-7 record in its final 12 regular season road games of 2004. The Cardinal lost the final game of a three-game set at UCLA (April 4), won two-of-three at Oregon State (April 8-10), fell at Sacramento State (April 24) and won at Santa Clara (April 27) before dropping two-of-three in back-to-back series at Washington (May 7-9) and Arizona (May 15-17).

CARDINAL 67-16 IN LAST 83 GAMES OVERALLStanford has a 67-16 mark in its last 83 games overall. The Cardinal is 44-12 in 56 games this season after going 23-4 in its final 27 games last year.

MULTIPLE-HIT MADNESSStanford has seven players with at least 17 multiple-hit games this season. Danny Putnam has a team-high 30 multiple-hit contests, followed by Led Lowrie (25), Brian Hall (23), Jonny Ash (20), Sam Fuld (20), John Mayberry, Jr. (19) and Donny Lucy (17).

BACK-TO-BACK JACKSStanford has hit back-to-back home runs five times this season, including four times since April 10. John Mayberry, Jr. has been a part of the first four. Danny Putnam and Mayberry hit back-to-back homers in the sixth inning at Fresno State (February 7). Mayberry and Donny Lucy then went back-to-back in the eighth inning at Oregon State (April 10). Jed Lowrie and Mayberry were next with back-to-back jacks in the first inning versus Sacramento State (April 23).

Mayberry and Putnam hit them in the third inning, before Brian Hall and Chris Carter did it again in the sixth.

LOWRIE AND MAYBERRY SELECTED FOR 2004 NATIONAL TEAM TRIALSJed Lowrie and John Mayberry, Jr. have been named as two of 19 invitees to the 2004 USA Baseball National Team Trials to be held June 20-26 in Durham, North Carolina. The USA Baseball National Team will be selected from a pool of 36 players, of which an additional 17 have yet to be determined. The official 20-player team roster will be determined and announced on June 27. Stanford has produced 22 members of the USA National Baseball Team in the history of the squad, more than any other collegiate baseball program in the nation. Three current Stanford players – Sam Fuld (2001, ‘02), Mark Romanczuk (2003) and Danny Putnam (2003) – have participated with Team USA.

A CHANCE TO WINStanford’s pitching staff has given the Cardinal a chance to win all season, holding opponents to five or less runs in 39 of 56 games. The staff’s best run was from April 9-24 when the staff held its opponents to five or fewer runs for a string of nine consecutive games.

DOUBLE YOUR FUNStanford has posted double-digit hits in 41 of its 56 games this season. The Cardinal put together a string of 12 straight double-digit hit games at one point (at UCLA, April 2-4; at Oregon State, April 8-10; Santa Clara, April 13; California, April 16-18; Saint Mary’s, April 20; Sacramento State, April 23) before being held to its second-lowest total of the year with just four in a 2-1 loss at Sacramento State (April 24). Stanford responded with double-digit hits in five consecutive contests (at Santa Clara, April 27; Washington State, April 30 – May 2; San Jose State, May 4) to close out a string of 17 multiple-hit games out of 18.

THE NEW NINENine players have made their first appearances in a game for the Cardinal this season. Matt Leva has been the team’s third starter in each of the last three weekend series at Arizona (May 17), versus USC (May 23) and versus Arizona State (May 30). Leva has a 5-2 record and a 5.06 ERA in 13 appearances and six starts, striking out 14 batters in 26.2 innings. Blake Holler (4-2, 4.29, 2 SV, 56.2 IP, 49 SO) made eight consecutive starts as a member of the rotation at one point. Jeff Stimpson has posted a 1-2 record with a save and a 4.78 ERA to go with 22 strikeouts in 31.2 innings.

Ben Summerhays is hitting .167 with two hits in 12 at bats over 10 games played off the bench. Former student manager Cameron Matthews has played in eight games, scoring three runs and walking in his first career plate appearance versus Sacramento State (April 23).

COMEBACK CREWStanford has come from behind at some point in 19 of its 44 victories this season, including three games the Cardinal has trailed heading into the ninth frame. The most recent ninth-inning comeback came when the Cardinal scored a run in its final turn at bat at Santa Clara (April 27) to force extra innings before eventually winning 12-8 in 14 frames. Stanford has also come back to win games when trailing by three or more runs heading into the eighth inning on three occasions. Brian Hall provided one of the most dramatic moments of the season when his first career grandslam capped a seven-run Stanford ninth inning rally for a 10-6 victory over Kansas (February 15). Stanford trailed 7-3 at USC (March 6) before scoring four times in the top of the ninth inning to extend the game into extra innings and eventually taking home an 8-7 win in 13 frames. The Cardinal trailed 7-4 after seven innings at Oregon State (April 8) before scoring three runs in the eighth to tie the game and four more times in the ninth to win the contest.

WINNING BY A BUNCHDespite having to come from behind in 19 of its 44 wins, 36 of the team’s victories have come by three runs or more and the Cardinal is 24-4 in games decided by five or more runs. Stanford has outscored its opponents by a count of 474-269 and is averaging 8.5 runs per contest, compared to just 4.8 for its opponents.


TOUGH ONESStanford’s 44-12 record might be even a little better if the Cardinal could have mustered more success in close games. Stanford is just 3-5 in games decided by one run and had lost each of the last five one-run games it had played (April 2, at UCLA, 6-5. April 8, at Oregon State, 5-4. April 24, at Sacramento State, 2-1. May 7, at Washington, 3-2 – 10 innings. May 16, at Arizona, 19-18) before pulling out a 5-4 victory over USC in its most recent one-run affair on May 22. Stanford’s other one-run win came in a pair of 8-7 wins versus Cal State Fullerton (January 31) and at USC (March 6 – 13 inn.).

ERRORLESS EFFORTSStanford has played errorless baseball in 23 of its first 56 games this season, including a string of five straight errorless games from January 31 – February 8; three in a row in a series at California (February 27-29); three straight against Cal Poly (March 28), San Jose State (March 30) and UCLA (April 2); a string of three in a row versus California (April 18), Saint Mary’s (April 20) and Sacramento State (April 23); in the first and third games of a series against Washington State (April 30, May 2); against Santa Clara (May 11); at Arizona (May 16); in back-to-back games versus San Francisco (May 18) and USC (May 21); and in the first two games of the regular-season-ending Arizona State series (May 28-29). Stanford is currently ranks second in the Pac-10 with a .974 fielding percentage that would be second on the school’s all-time list, just three percentage points behind the school record .977 mark posted by the 2001 club.

OFFENSIVE REPORTStanford has averaged 8.5 runs per contest, while hitting .327 (#1 Pac-10) through its first 56 games.

Putnam also leads the squad in multiple-hit games (30) with 18 in his last 27 contests. Jonny Ash, who ranks third on the team overall with a .384 batting average, has hit .440 (11-25) with a homer and six RBI over the last six games since returning to the lineup for the first time after missing 15 games due to an injury on May 21.

Chris Carter (.281, 8 HR, 35 RBI, 1 SB) and Sam Fuld (.280, 4 HR, 29 RBI, 8 SB) are at .280 or above. Fuld is the all-time Stanford and Pac-10 leader for runs scored (266) and at bats (1054), while ranking second in hits (353) behind former Stanford player John Gall (368, 1997-2000) on the all-time Stanford and Pac-10 hit lists. Fuld also ranks among Stanford’s career leaders in games played (256, #2), triples (16, #3T) and doubles (58, #6T). Stanford has set season-highs with 18 runs scored at Santa Clara (March 23) and at Arizona, 21 hits versus Sacramento State (April 23), eight home runs versus Washington State (May 2) and five stolen bases at Sacramento State (April 24). Stanford has scored in double figures 23 times and has 10 or more hits in 41 of its 56 games.

PITCHING REPORTStanford leads the Pac-10 with a 4.35 ERA and has allowed five or fewer runs in 39 of its 56 contests, including a nine-game streak (April 9-24). Mark Romanczuk, who appears on the Roger Clemens Award Watch list for the nation’s top pitcher, leads the team in wins (11-2, #1T Pac-10, #14T NCAA), strikeouts (91, #6 Pac-10) and innings pitched (105.0, #5 Pac-10), while posting a 4.03 ERA that is the best among Stanford starters with at least one inning pitched per game played and seventh in the Pac-10. Jeff Gilmore is second on the team in victories with a 9-2 record and a 4.56, while co-leading the team along with Romanczuk with 16 games started, and ranking second in innings pitched (91.2, #7 Pac-10) and strikeouts (69, #10 Pac-10). David O’Hagan is third on the club in victories with a 6-1 mark and has a team-high six saves and a co team-leading 21 appearances, while pacing the team with a 2.62 ERA that would also lead the Pac-10 except that he is 1.0 inning short of reaching the conference requirement of pitching at least 1.0 inning pitched per team game played.

STANFORD COACHING STAFF

STANFORD HEAD COACH MARK MARQUESSOne of the nation’s premier collegiate coaches and the winningest coaching in Stanford Baseball history, Mark Marquess is in his 28th season at the helm of the Cardinal in 2004 with a 1188-563-5 (.678) record in 1756 career games, as well as even more impressive marks in postseason (105-46, .695), Regional (61-21, .744), Super Regional (10-2, .833) and Pac-10 (478-302, .613). Marquess entered the 2004 season ranked 19th on the NCAA’s all-time Division I victory list and 46th on the all-time winning percentage list for Division I coaches. For active coaches, he began the season ninth in victories and 15th in winning percentage. He became the 23rd coach in the history of NCAA Division I baseball to reach the 1000-win mark with a victory over Florida State on February 9, 2001. Just over two years later, he picked up win No. 1100 versus Nevada on February 17, 2003. He won his 100th career postseason game in Stanford’s NCAA Super Regional clinching victory over Long Beach State (6/7/03). The 1969 Stanford graduate has led the Cardinal to two CWS titles and three runner-up showings in five CWS championship appearances, as well as 13 College World Series trips, five NCAA Super Regional titles, 13 NCAA Regional championships and 12 Pac-10 crowns (includes 2004, Southern Division and shared titles). Stanford has also qualified for the NCAA Tournament 22 times in the first 28 years under Marquess (including 2004). He has been named NCAA Coach of the Year three times and has received Pac-10 or Pac-10 Southern Division Coach of the Year honors on nine occasions, most recently with his selection in 2003. The Cardinal has already wrapped up its 27th winning campaign in 28 seasons under his leadership in 2004. Stanford has finished either first or second in the prestigious Pacific-10 (formerly Pac-10 Southern Division) 22 times in the last 24 years. Stanford has had 112 players drafted by professional baseball in the past 19 seasons, including 14 first round selections in the last 17 years. A member of the American Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame, Marquess was the head coach of the 1988 United States Olympic baseball team that captured the gold medal. Marquess was also an accomplished football and baseball standout on The Farm and is a member of the Stanford Athletic Hall of Fame. He is one of only six collegiate baseball head coaches to have both played and coached in the College World Series. Marquess was the starting first baseman and a First Team All-American on Stanford’s 1967 CWS squad and played four seasons of minor league baseball with the Chicago White Sox organization.

COMMENTS FROM MARK MARQUESS(on Stanford’s national seed)“We earned the national seed by having a great regular season and winning the Pac-10. But, you still have to play well to succeed in the postseason.”

(on the field for the 2004 NCAA Regional at Stanford)“At this stage of the season every Regional is going to be tough. I think our Regional is difficult but all of them are.”

(on winning the Pac-10 title)“It’s everybody’s goal when you start the season to win the Pac-10 title. It’s a very difficult feat to accomplish because this conference is so strong. For us to win it says we played well. We worked hard to get this, and I’m really proud of the team.”

(on Stanford’s regular season success)“We had a phenomenal regular season. To win as many games as we did with the schedule we played and to win the conference was quite an accomplishment.”

STANFORD COACHING STAFFDean Stotz is in his 28th campaign with Stanford Baseball and his fifth season as associate head coach after he was promoted to the position prior to the 2000 campaign. Stotz served for 23 years as an assistant. Stotz currently coaches third base while also handling various offensive and defensive aspects of the game. Tom Kunis is in his fifth season as Stanford’s pitching coach, while Dave Nakama is in his fifth year overall as a Stanford assistant coach.
