Spartans stand at 14-6 with conference play approaching

With just more than a week left to go before WAC play begins, the Spartans have leveled off a bit after an 8-1 start to the season.
Since their 4-2 win over Santa Clara on March 4, the Spartans have managed a 6-5 record while enduring their longest losing streak of the season (3).
After SJSU took the first game from Santa Clara, the Broncos strormed back by taking the final two games, limiting SJSU to a total of five runs in the two losses.
The Spartans' third loss in a row came two days later to Pacific in 13 innings, as SJSU botched a 6-1 lead in the 11-10 defeat.
The 13 inning defeat at Pacific spurred a four game winning spree for the Spartans who responded by defeating Wisconsin Milwaukee twice, while taking games from UC Davis and Utah during the two day Jack Gifford memorial tournament.
SJSU's winning streak was abrubly halted by a hot USF team who dismantled the Spartans 10-0 in their March 15 contest. It was the first time SJSU had been held without a run all season.
Inclement weather washed out the start of the Spartans trip to Seattle, but once play resumed SJSU was able to take two out of three on the road-trip.
SJSU won 6-5 and 9-5 in the first two games, dropping the final contest 6-2 in a shortened seven inning game.
Once the rain stops, SJSU is set to play UC Davis for a three game set. Roberto Padilla (4-1, 2.35 ERA) and Blake McFarland (3-0, 3.52 ERA) are both likely to throw during the series versus the Aggies. SJSU has already beaten UC Davis twice on the young season.
