Senior Whitney Burks drove in four runs on a pair home runs, Kristina Inouye tripled home three runs to break a tie and the Stanford softball team opened its season with a 12-5 victory over Bradley at the Kajiwaka Classic in Tempe on Friday.

Alyssa Horeczko also drove in three runs for the Cardinal.

Inouye drove in six runs as Stanford beat Kansas, 12-3, later Friday.

Burks, who hit a team-leading five home runs last year, hit a home run in her first at bat of the year, a solo shot that sailed over the centerfield fence. She added a three-run homer in the seventh. She also walked twice.

"I was trying to keep as calm as possible," Burks told Pac-12 Networks. "See the ball, hit the ball and good things happen if you can do that."
