Lord Dominates as Washington Shuts Out No. 9 Stanford
April 22, 2023 | Baseball
STANFORD, Calif. – Behind a gem of an outing from Kiefer Lord, Washington (21-12, 8-8 Pac-12) dominated No. 9 Stanford (24-12, 12-5 Pac-12 Saturday afternoon in the Bay Area, shutting out the Cardinal 9-0 at Sunken Diamond.
After tip-toeing around trouble in the early going, Lord settled in and befuddled the Cardinal bats for the remainder of his eight innings. The righty fanned 10 batters, matching his career high, and retired the final 16 batters he faced.
The Huskies took advantage of some erraticism on the mound to take a third inning lead.
After loading the bases with one out, a wild pitch allowed Will Simpson to open scoring. A picture-perfect AJ Guerrero slide around a tag at home plate doubled the advantage, and another run on a wild pitch made it 3-0 in the third for the Dawgs.
After chasing Cardinal starter Matt Scott in the third, UW struggled to figure out reliever Nick Dugan. However, a Coby Morales walk in the seventh ended Dugan's day and following a Johnny Tincher HBP, Michael Snyder unloaded on a ball over the middle of the plate, sending a towering blast into the trees in left to double the Husky lead.
Washington tacked on three more in the final two innings as Tincher plated a pair with an RBI single in the eighth and Cam Clayton's RBI double made it 9-0.
After eight dazzling innings out of Lord, Sam Boyle sealed the deal in the ninth, getting Cort McDonald swinging to end the ballgame.
QUICK HITS
• The win is the first at Stanford for the Huskies since sweeping the Cardinal at Sunken Diamond in 2015. It is also the largest margin of victory over the Cardinal since a 13-1 Washington win in that 2015 series.
• The victory is the first shutout over Stanford for UW since defeating the Cardinal 7-0 in Seattle in 2018.
• Lord's 10 strikeouts are tied for his most in a Husky uniform, matching his output versus Northern Colorado on March 4.
• The San Carlos, California, native's eight innings match his career high and are two more than in any outing this season. Lord also set a season-high with 104 pitches.
• Starting with a three-pitch strikeout of Brandon Montgomery in the third, Lord retired the final 16 batters he faced.
• Coby Morales reached four times in the game. The junior's three walks match his season-high, set on Feb. 23 at San Jose State.
• Michael Snyder's seventh inning bomb was his first hit of the series, snapping an 0-for-11 slump.
• AJ Guerrero extended his hitting streak to 12 games, the longest by a Husky this season.
