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.

I think you're right about them playing down to the level of their competition. It didn't help that five of Stanford's starters were getting the day off.
