Texas State won, 7-5.Just three outs away from the first NCAA super regional appearance in program history, Texas State squandered a two-run lead in the bottom of the ninth inning, falling 4-3 to No. 2 overall seed Stanford on Monday at the Sunken Diamond in Stanford, Calif.
The Bobcats finished the year with a program-record win total but came up three outs shy of their first NCAA regional victory. Making their sixth appearance in the NCAA tournament and first since 2011, the Bobcats opened with a 7-3 win against UC Santa Barbara on Friday and a 5-2 victory over Stanford on Saturday.
In his third year as coach, Trout guided Texas State to a rebound in 2022, as last season’s 21-36 record marked the worst season since the program’s first year in 1984. Texas State struck first in the top of the second inning, as John Wuthrich doubled to left-center field and came around to score when Cameron Gibbons lined a single to center.
Texas State right fielder Wuthrich threw a Stanford runner out at the plate in the fifth inning, and the Cardinal were kept off the board despite a leadoff double in the sixth.
