STANFORD, Calif. - Xavier baseball wrapped up the four-game series at Stanford with an 11-3 win, splitting the series with the Cardinal. The Musketeers moved to 7-5 overall with the win, while Stanford wrapped up the series at 10-2, with both losses on the season coming against Xavier.

Xavier took the lead in the second inning, with Isaac Wachsmann getting hit by a pitch to lead off the inning, followed by singles from Eddie Peters and Jason Jelic to load the bases with no outs. Carter Hendrickson hit a two-out double down the left field line to drive in Peters, Jelic and JD Crisp, who got aboard on a fielder's choice, making it a 3-0 Musketeer lead.

Stanford added two runs on solo homers in the third and fourth innings to cut the lead to one, but the Musketeers extended the lead with another three-run frame in the fifth. Xavier's first two batters, Hendrickson and Aedan Anderson, got on after being hit by pitches, then came home on a triple from Connor Misch. A single from Wachsmann brought in Misch to make it a 6-2 Xavier lead.

The Cardinal picked up another run in the bottom of the fifth before Xavier's pitching held Stanford off the board the rest of the way, with Ben Weber and Jared Gadd combining for six strikeouts while allowing just two hits in the final four innings.

Xavier added insurance runs in the sixth, when Misch drove in two more RBI, to lead 8-2. The Musketeers capped off the scoring with another three-run frame in the seventh, with singles from Jelic and Nolan Tucker and an intentional walk to Hendrickson loaded the bases, and a walk from Anderson brought in a run. Two more runs came in on a wild pitch to set the final score at 11-3 in favor of Xavier.

Xavier now heads to Knoxville, Tenn., to face No. 2 Tennessee on Wednesday, March 5, set for a 6:00 p.m. start on the SEC Network+.
