First shutout for Wayne

Stanford junior right-hander Justin Wayne pitched the first shutout of his collegiate career yesterday as the No. 2 Cardinal defeated Santa Clara, 1-0, in a non-conference baseball game at Sunken Diamond.

Wayne, a Punahou graduate, was dominant once again for the Cardinal, striking out 12 batters and allowing just three hits as he improved his career Stanford best pitching record to 21-1. Wayne has won his last 15 decisions.
