This has been an especially rough patch for the relief corps. Stanford has been tied or has led in the late innings in each of its last 5 losses. But a mix of bad pitching and bad defense has turned Ws into Ls.
Game 1 vs. Oregon - Ducks score 1 in the 8th, 1 in the 9th, win 4-3
Game 2 vs. Oregon - Ducks score 6 in the 8th, 2 in the 9th, win 16-13
Game 1 vs. Arizona - Wildcats score 2 in the 8th, win 3-2
Game 2 vs. Arizona - Wildcats score 5 in the 8th, win 6-5
Game 3 vs. Arizona - Wildcats score 6 in the 7th, 1 in the 8th, win 10-3
Even in Stanford's lone win over the past 2 weekends, they gave up 1 in the 7th, 1 in the 8th and 2 in the 9th to Oregon, but Stanford held on for a 10-6 win.
It really challenges a team's resilience to come back after a stretch like that.
