Javhawks win 2, lose 2 at ORU
By KELLY SCOTT
Sports Writer
Going into Saturday's doubleheader at Oral Roberts University, the University of Kansas baseball team needed a miracle. And that's nearly what they got.
Erratic KU fielding and a strong wind that carried most ORU fly balls out of the
park resulted in 5-2 and 11-8 losses to the Titans Friday in Tulsa.
But Saturday, an inspired Jayhawk team came back to defeat ORU, 13 and 13-1, behind the tight pitching of Roger Slagle and Kevin Kerschen.
Slage gave up one run on five hits all struck the out. KU fielded finally jelled: the offense crushed out 10 hits and three assists. The four-game series back into a contest.
Rob Allandier and Brian Rhodes were the losing pitchers Friday.
Slagle, who is slowly pitching his way back to top form after arm surgery last year, called the win one of his best games this season.
"I was lucky. They were swinging at most of my pitches because they're a strong hitting team," Slagle, 40 for the season. And, we did not have any errors that same.
KU coach Floyd Temple said yesterday
"Saturday was really a turn around from Friday, Friday, it was our errors that beat us, and Saturday, when we didn't have many, their errors beat them."

KU finished behind second-place Texas
and meet champion Tennessee. Tennessee,
third-place finisher at the NCAA indoor
championships, won Saturday's meet with
108 points, followed by Texas with 102 and
the Jayhawks with 96.
Head coach Bob Timmons said he was pleased with the squad's performance in the Ontario Cup.
"For our first meet we did pretty good," Timmons said. "It was a good meet. Tennessee had a very strong team and so did We knew that before we went down there.
"I was pleased with it (the meet), but there are some areas we could work it. We've got technique problems and transitional problems from the indoor season to the outdoor season that only experience can handle."
The Jayhawks, competing without the
Wiley and Kyrell Newell, failed to win an en-
tire game.
and Newell didn't compete because of scholarship difficulties.
But six second-led KU to its third place finish.
Seniors Rudy Guevara, shot pitt; Randy Benson, 400-meter dash; and Bill Lundberg in the 5,000-meter run all had second place finishes.
Benson, Big Eight defending 440-yard dash champion, finished in 46.7, just two-tenths of a second ahead of teammate Jay Wagner, who was fourth.

"I was really happy with Kerschen's pitching. He's really coming on." Temple said. It was Kerschen's third win for the Jabhawks.
A nine-run third inning climaxed the scoring in the second game. With two out, Brian Moyer stroked a three-run home run. Jeff Flaherty hit a home run. Roftt had two and Andy Gilmore had one.
"It was mighty good to go down and split with ORU," Temple said. "Until yesterday (Saturday), they were the best-hitting team we had played.
KU's own hitting was strong throughout the ORU series. The Jayhawks rebounded from a 10-run deficit in the second game of Friday's doubleheader with eight earned run total to salvage the game for the temple team and put the team back into the ORU series.
"We made a run at them late in the game Friday," he said. "Then we were ready to go out and stop them Saturday. That ability makes a good team." encouraging. That makes a good team.
Left-hander Brian Rhodes gave up a grand slam home run in the first inning of that game, after a KU fielding error with two ORU men out helped load the bases.
"I was throwing against the wind, and I could tell that it was holding the ball up, instead of sending it in." Rhodes said. "I think he saw the edge, and they were a team, hick well."
KU's beaugered pitching staff now gets a week's rest. Friends University, which was to oppose KU with a doubleheader in the fall, will meet on scheduling problems with their league.
Temple said that Allinger was sharp in the front end of Friday's doubleheader, but he could not overcome the five unearned runs given up by the KU fielding.
Several KU players said they were looking forward to the break, but Temple said his team needs to play as much as it can.
He'll get his wish this weekend when KU, now 9-6 overall, starts Big Eight play against Nebraska in a single game Friday at North Carolina. The Hornshead against the Cornhuskers Saturday.
