When all is said and done, splitting a four-game series with the #23-ranked team in the country is a pretty good outcome. But the truth of the matter is that Stanford had a chance to take this road series, and was just one run short on Friday of doing so. The Cardinal were this close to really messing with Texas in Texas.
Still, all in all a good effort for Stanford. These two teams, both traditional college baseball powers, seem evenly matched with inconsistent offenses and (mostly!) good pitching. Both teams won and lost a close game; both teams blew out the other team once over the weekend.
