On the verge of advancing to the first Super Regional in program history, Texas State (47-14) saw it to come to a stunning end as Stanford (45-15) walked it off in the bottom of the ninth of a 4-3 ballgame at Klein Field at Sunken Diamond.

"What an unreal game. Last game of the regional and pushed to the brink. Thought we had it there going up 3-1," said head coach Steven Trout. "You got to tip your hat. They took some great swings in big moments and that is whey they are No. 2 in the country. Could not be prouder of my guys."

"How we drew it up, I didn't expect seven [innings] from [Tristan] Stivors. I tried to take him out a couple of times but he kept fighting me to go back out there," said Trout. "What those guys have done for our program and university, I told them it's not tears of sadness it's pride. I am thankful and happy for them. Before the game I told them to enjoy it and play as hard as you can. At the end of the day, make people fall in love with the Bobcats. I think they accomplished that tonight."

Wesley Faison plated two runs and recorded two hits on the night. Finishing with two hits and an RBI was Cameron Gibbons while Justin Thompson record two base knocks.

The win went to Brandt Pancer (2-0) after he recorded the final out in the top of the ninth. Levi Wells (8-3) took the loss while recording an out.

Getting his first career start as a Bobcat was Tristan Stivors. The right-hander struck out a career-high nine while giving up a run on eight hits in seven innings. Zeke Wood also threw an inning and recorded two strikeouts.

With one out in the second, John Wuthrich doubles to left center and would then move to third on a groundout to the second baseman. Gibbons drove the senior outfielder home with a single to center to give the Bobcats an early lead.
