PALO ALTO-- No. 9-ranked Long Beach State (17-8) continued their winless streak on their current road trip, dropping their fifth straight, at No. 13-ranked Stanford (13-7) 9-3 on Monday evening. Stanford scored nine runs over the middle innings to win the first regular season meeting since 1990.
Sean Ratliff's three-run homer in the fourth made it 3-0 en route to a four-run inning off of starter Brett Lorin (1-1), before reliever Adam Wilk allowed two more runs in the fifth to make it 6-2. Dustin Rasco allowed three runs in the sixth.
Lorin threw three-plus innings, giving up four runs (three earned) on three hits and walked three to take the loss.
Jonathan Jones extended his hit streak to 13 games with an RBI double to make it 4-1, before a solo home run by Jason Corder, one of two hits, made it 6-2. Jones also had two hits as LBSU left 11 on base.
Austin Yount (1-1) gave up a run on four hits over 1.1 innings in the relief for the win.
The Dirtbags dropped to No. 9 in the latest Coaches Poll after being ranked No. 4 last week. LBSU will play at Fresno State
