If you look at the big picture, Stanford was outscored 26-15 by Arizona. But Saturday was an anomaly. On Friday and Sunday, Stanford gave up 6 runs in 22 innings, which is a great achievement against an offense like Arizona's.
Also, Alex Williams has given up zero runs in his last two outings versus USC (4 innings) and Arizona (6 innings). Prior to those two starts, he had never finished the fourth inning. This is a *major* development.

If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
