Freshman Austin Weiermiller earned the win in his first career appearance and the 13th-ranked Stanford baseball team completed a three-game sweep over No. 17 Cal State Fullerton, beating the Titans 6-5 on Sunday at Sunken Diamond.

“It felt great to be back at Sunken Diamond on this side of the field for the first time in a long time, and we couldn’t have asked for a better start this week,” said Stanford coach David Esquer. “You’ve got to tip your cap to the job that Austin and (Kyle) Stowers did today, and those guys still have a lot to show. We’re really pleased with the sweep and to see all of our fans back out at Sunken Diamond.”

Weiermiller replaced starting pitcher Erik Miller in the top of the second, going four innings with two hits, no runs and two strikeouts to earn the win.

Stowers escaped a jam in the top of the ninth to claim his first career save and Stanford’s first season-opening sweep since a 3-0 sweep of Vanderbilt in 2012.

The Cardinal (3-0) fell behind, 2-0, in the top half of the first inning, but responded in the bottom half with four runs of its own.
