STANFORD, Calif. – No. 11 Oregon jumped to an early lead and then cruised to a 9-2 win over Stanford on Sunday in the finale of a three-game series at Sunken Diamond.

Shaun Chase was 2-for-4 with a solo home run in the eighth and two RBI. Aaron Payne scored two runs and drove in a run, while Mitchell Tolman, Kyle Garlick and A.J. Balta each had one RBI.
