STANFORD
Stanford's loss in the rubber game of the series extended the team's series losing streaks to seven in a row overall and seven straight in the Pac-10 with the seven straight Pac-10 series losses the longest stretch in the school's recorded history and the seven straight overall series defeats the longest since Stanford lost eight straight series overall from April 13, 1978 - March 31, 1979
Stanford's next opponent Washington is the last team the Cardinal has beaten in a Pac-10 series from May 12-14, 2006, in Seattle
Stanford has dropped two straight games to Washington State, as well as four of the last six and each of the last two series between the clubs
Stanford has still won 26 of its last 30 games overall against Washington State and leads the all-time series 32-17
Stanford went its second straight game without recording double digits in hits after having previously strung together a season-best nine consecutive double digit hit contests

Adam Sorgi had his 10-game hit streak snapped by going 0-for-3 with a sacrifice bunt and saw his average dip to .396 in his attempt to become just the seventh player in Stanford history to hit .400 or better in a single season (Sorgi is now just 1.5 at bats away from having the minimum number of at bats to qualify for Stanford, Pac-10 and NCAA stat leaders)
