Stanford suffered a dreaded mid-week loss to UT-San Antonio in extra innings, 6-5. Not that UT-San Antonio is necessarily terrible--they are 7-1 on the young season--but Stanford is the first quality team they've faced. On top of that, UT-San Antonio is certainly not a traditional power, more like a middling Conference USA program.
I did not watch or listen to the game, but the box score says that Stanford committed four errors and three of UT-San Antonio's six runs, including the walk-off, were unearned.
So this looks like a case of Stanford playing below the level of its opponent. Too bad, because all-in-all this was a very good roadie to Texas.

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)
