Cal designated hitter Ashley Decker hit a sacrifice fly to bring center fielder Frani Echavarria home for the Bears’ last run of the game. Stanford’s answered in the top of the sixth with a run — and threatened even more in the seventh. Cal sophomore Jolene Henderson had pitched every inning of the series thus far. Through the 20 innings, she had only given up two runs. After Henderson retired the first two batters in the top of the seventh, it seemed like it was going to be a relatively easy inning to finish the game. That 63rd out of the weekend, however, may have been the most difficult for Henderson. Tegan Schmidt and Sarah Hassman squeezed out consecutive singles, and the pressure was on. Henderson’s first two pitches were strikes, but after a ball, she gave up a single to Corey Hangarner to load the bases. “They weren’t going to die,” Ninemire said. “They got the bases loaded off of little dinky hits and had their national player up at the plate. They were one crack away from tying up the ball game or perhaps even winning it.” The Card could not have asked for a better player to step up to the plate next than USA national team player Ashley Hansen and her .489 batting average. Unfortunately for Stanford, Hansen popped up to end the tilt and clinch Cal’s victory in the Big Series. The Bears had fallen to the Card, 2-1 on Friday after winning, 2-0, on Thursday. “(Friday night) I really challenged them to bring everything they had out here on this field, and for those that were struggling at the plate to figure a way to get over that,” Ninemire said. “Even though some of those girls are still struggling, they were taking a lot better cuts.” Kelly Suckow covers softball.
