In the fifth, Stanford got two more, as Gall singled in a run, and Emily Jones drove in a run to make it 6-0 Cardinal.

Stanford got two more in the sixth on a walked-in run and a sacrifice fly with an obstruction call for the final run.

OSU finishes the season 49-12, with a fifth straight appearance in the Women's College World Series.
