Stanford had the perfect strategy coming into this Day 2 of the Tuscaloosa Regional: Score. That is all they needed to do against this punchless Alabama offense. Score one run and the game is theirs. The Cardinal did better than that. In the first inning, they scored three runs which might as well have been 300.
Montana Fouts got off to a terrible start allowing a triple to the first batter of the game. The next batter grounded to third and the Tide had the runner in a rundown but screwed that pooch.
