I was hoping it was an early April Fool's joke, but apparently Stanford softball really just blew a 14-8 lead going into the bottom of the seventh versus Duke.
The carnage:
Lead off HR, 14-9
HBP
BB
E6, 14-10
K, 1 out
1B
Grand slam HR 14-14
1B
BB
Walk off HR, 14-17
That's 9 runs, 8 earned on 5 hits (3 HRs), 2 BBs, 1 HBP and 1 error.
Stanford loses the series 1-2 although they finished the road trip 5-2.

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)
