What goes up must come back down.
After two emotional, riveting come from behind victories, Arizona State saw their recent string of comebacks screech to a halt as Stanford (15-10, 7-6 Pac-12) shut out the Sun Devils (14-17, 5-5) eight to zip.
Having scored 14 unanswered runs last Sunday to erase a 9-2 deficit against Cal and rallying on Tuesday to plate seven runs in the late innings to stun No. 11 Arizona, one would think ASU would not be fazed by the 6-0 lead that Stanford built in the second inning of Friday’s matchup. However, those previous comebacks had the skipper in the dugout to right the ship.
