The Big Swing breaks record as Cal denies Stanford softball a series sweep

In front of 13,207 fans — the largest single‑game attendance in NCAA softball history — No. 15 Stanford (32-9, 11-7 ACC) fell 10‑8 to rival Cal (30-16, 7-11 ACC) on Saturday afternoon in the Big Swing at Stanford Stadium. The attendance eclipsed the previous overall record of 12,566, which was set at the 2024 Women’s College World Series, and easily topped the regular‑season record of 9,259 established earlier this month at Oklahoma. The crowd is also the largest ever at a non-football Stanford Athletics event in school history.
