Sorry to be Denny Downer, but Stanford once again gave up 7 runs. Thanks to Stanford's 5-game winning streak, the overall record is back even at 12-12, conference is 2-5.

Stanford starters are a collective 3-7 with the following ERAs:
Ketelsen: 5.71 ERA, 3 starts
Keenan: 6.75, 5
Gomez: 6.87, 1
Marsh: 7.27, 3
Warner: 7.47, 5
Dugan: 7.63, 5
Garewal: 8.22, 1
Reimers: 10.29, 1

Stanford's overall season team ERA is 6.5, 14th out of 16 in the ACC. In conference play, the team ERA is 8.85, dead last.

On top of that, of the 180 runs that Stanford has allowed so far this season, *25* have been unearned. That's an average of just over 1 unearned run surrendered per game (Stanford gave up 2 unearned runs in game 1 vs VT).

The offense, on the other hand, has come alive. For the season, our slugging % is .554, 3rd in the ACC. We've hit 50 HRs, also 3rd in the ACC. Individually, Teddy Tokheim has an OPS of 1.461, 2nd in the ACC! His 8 HRs are tied for 8th.

I know that conference play has just begun, but over 7 games, Stanford has 22 HRs, which leads the ACC, and a number of teams have played 9 or 10 conference games. Our conference-leading team slugging % is .661!

I was really hoping the pitching and defense would come into form by now, but every game tells the same story: it's up to the offense to win games.
