Softball team's record 12-0 after Wayne State double
MU fan Kris Haulk sticks up for Tiger player Thiel
While the men's baseball team was manhandling Missouri, the KU women's softball team was having a picnic of its own, as coach Sharon Drydale's players beat Wayne State (Neb.) twice Saturday at the Holcom Sports Complex.
Outscoring and outpitching their opponents at every turn, the Jahayhaws took a doubleheader from an unexpectedly easy Wayne State club. 10-0 and 11-2.
Coach Drysdale, noting the obvious, said, "I thought they played very well until we started to hit, and even then we won on our hitting more so than on their mistakes.
THE TEAM'S RECORD improved to 12-0 for the year.
"I think they allowed our hitting to destroy their concentration. They played about as well as anybody else that we've faced, probably on a par with UNO."
UNO IS THE UNIVERSITY of Nebraska-Omaha, which was the College World Series champion in 1975—and a victim of the KU softball team earlier this season.

came up to the plate at the bottom of the fifth, all runs broke loose.
Two strikes were on Kuhn. On the next pitch, she hit a home run to left field. Janet Brown singled on a grounder and took second on a sacrifice bunked by Teresa Brown. Beth Springate drove Brown in with a home run of her own.

the PAULS bring KU a total of five runs
for the 10U.
The bottom of the sixth wasn't much different. Kansas went through the entire season in third place.
KU pitcher Edna Isles gave up just three hits, left six Wayne State players stranded and walked only three in recording her first shutout of the year.
THE LOOSING PITCHER in the first game was Suzy Scheefs.
Gloria Graves started the first five innings of the second game for Kansas, struck out 5 and knocked out Bobby Cox.
Their 358 hitters weren't hitting. Their two best pitchers gave up 23 hits in two games. Their infielders weren't polite with them. The ball was Roger Shale and Tom Krarth. There were Roger Shale and Tom Krathy.

Yes, the Missouri Tigers had their patient with the University of Kansas baseball team.
THE JAYHAWKS, BEHIND the two-hit shutout扑击群 of Slagle and six RBIs by Krattli, blasted the highly toured Mizouz team out of Quigley Field. They took two from the Tigers, 7-0 and 10-7, then lost the night on Saturday's doubleheader, 6-4.
For once, the Jayhawks put everything together. Single and Mike Love reduced the Tiger batting average to .181 for two games. The KU hitters came through in the clutch. One last double-digit hit was solid, committing only three errors throughout the three-game series.
"WHEN YOU HAVE GIVEN pitching, the fielders are just more alert," coach Floyd Temple said. "Sound pitching leads to good careers." The team's offense was careless, and we had great pitching.

MU'S JACK KRUSE took the only two hits off Shagle, a single apiece in the fifth and seventh innings. Stalk struck out 11 and hit one out of nine big bats of Missouri, to call it a day.
Righthander Slagle was all they wrote for the Tigers in Friday's single game. Coming off his 17-starlock win over Nebraskaita last season, he won in provina that that game wasn't a fluke.
Behind Slagel, the Jayhawk batters were taking their toll.
Designated hitter Randy Traut rrapped three hits off losing Tiger pitcher Jim Ptochicinski, while Lee Ice, Ron MacDonald and Kraftti all had two. Catcher Adir Gilmore drove in two runs on a single pitch in nining and a sacrifice fly in the seventh
"I WANT YOU TO BE sure to tell them how pleased I am with all the people who were out in the stands." Temple said. "We know our crowd that practically ever before."
An unusually large (and loud) crowd turned out for the Missouri series.
The crowd was particularly audible in the seventh inning of the first game.
Missouri catcher Mark Thiel, grumbling over a call behind the plate, was ejected from the game by bumpie Larry Zerbia. Thiel stormed off the field and sat fuming in the stands, which was definitely enemy territory.
EVIDENTLY STILL SMARTING from the KU basketball team's loss to Missouri late in the season, KU's answer to the question is the win. Theil prolonged and pronounced grief
But Thiel was finished badmouthing; he let his girlfriend answer for him.
T Temple said, "I know it had an effect, having all those people out cheering for us. I must have has a little bit of the harm in them, and may better when they can hear that crowd."
ON SATURDAY, MISSIOUR came to play baseball. They shelled started Rob Allinder early in the game for five runs, three coming on Thiel's third inning home run. Missouri third baseman Mike Lally then reached first on an error by Mark Sweeney, to second on a passed ball and scored when Frank Shellenback made it to first.
But the Hawks came back with three when Krattli drilled a home run to left field, scoring Hannafin and Ice. Ice had an injury, hitting four for four and scoring twice.
Missouri got two more runs in the top of the sixth, and going into KU's half of the season, he was an ace.
THEHEN THE STORYBOOK stuff manned. The inning began innocently enough when the opposing pitcher threw a Randy Webster. Then the obviously tiring Mountain pitcher Tom Wild walked Brian Moyer. Ice got his fourth single of the day, and he ran for 8th. Then he walked MacDonald, and ice went.
"I WAS SURPRISED they left him in." Krattli said afterwards. "It was pretty obvious he had lost some of his fastball. He went to the office just got behind, then gave me a fastball."
The bases were loaded for Tom Kraitti and he promptly tripped to deep right center. That made six RBI's for Kraitti, who earlier had made a diving catch in Friday's game to prevent a potential Missouri run.
Missouri coach Gene McArtor chose to stick with Wild, and he gave up another single to Gilmore, scoring Krattli. Then Trout walked.
"Our hitters just did their job," Temple said. "There weren't any flakes. Those kids were on fire."
It was tough luck for Allenr, who was pulled in the Missouri half of the fifth. Mike Love came in to stop the Tigers and wound up with the win.
Up stepped first baseman Carl Heinrich,
who poured home to run give KU 10 runs
and scored a home run.
"ALLINER TRIED REAL hard, and at least he didn't lose." Temple said. "It's no disgrace to give up some hits to Missouri, they're a fine hitting team."
"I was very pleased with Mike's performance," he said of Love. "It was our first opportunity in a long time to use him, and he just did great."
Brian Rhodius went out to the mound for KU in the second game to try to collect the Jayhawks' first series sweep all year and found a determined Tiger line-up. They scored three runs in the fourth inning on Lally's home run to dead center.
"YOU CAN'T SHUT OFF a good打弄 team forever," Temple said. "Rhodes threw his fastball with two strikes and he got abold of it and put it out."
KU answered with four runs in their half of the inning, but Missouri came back with a run in the fifth and two in the seventh to win. 6-4. Rhodes left the game in the fourth, relieved by Love, who finished the day 1-1. Together, they gave up 10 hits.

Flovd flogs Masters opposition
AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) - Ray Flyd—never pressured, never pressed—a tusk carried a stroll through the Georgia piney woods yesterday, paused to strike the golf ball 70 times and ambled home with perhaps the easiest Masters victory of all time.
Floyd, a 30-year-old one-time playboy
male, won the 40th annual spring tour
weekend.
par, matching the tournament record for 72 holes set by Jack Nicklaus in 1965.
Floyd's winning margin of eight strokes was one short of the record—but it couldn't have been.
Only handsome young Ben Crenshaw—who gave a flock of giggling girls a little thrill when he hiked his britches above his bed, and then set off 18th hole—could generate any challenge.
