KU survives long ball explosion
Snorts Writer
By KEN DAVIS
The heavens opened up on the University of Kansas baseball team during the weekend, showering the Jayhawks with everything from baseballs to ball. However, the Jayhawks survived the storm and kept their game-crime with Netsnake in Lincoln.
KU battled adverse weather conditions and a hard-hitting Cornhusker team while gaining the split that left it with a 6-2 record in the Eastern Division of the Big Eight. The Jayhawks are in second place, one game in the loss column behind Missouri, 5-1.
Saturday's doubleheader was played in a light drizzle that was mixed with occasional snow flurries. The second game of the doubleheader was stopped for 15 minutes in the seventh inning when a heavy hail storm hit. The team was at the Astrofort field at Husker Diamond.
NEC, 2-4 in division play, provided the shower of baseballs, hitting eight home runs during the series, two of which were grand slam. The NL had only nine home runs going into the series.
The fact that the two teams split the series was not that surprising. However, the score of Saturday's first game was a quicker a shotker than it was its home run in that game and won, 21-2.
That game was stopped by an agreement between KU baseball coach Floyd Temple and NU coach John Sanders after only $4\frac{1}{8}$ innings because of the bad weather.
KU took a 1-0 lead in the game in the top of the first innning. Three singles after the first out of the game gave the Jays theJO at 5-2. The team joined in the first when Motty Hobbs was robbed of a hit
on a line drive to Nebraska shortstop John Russo.
THAT WAS THE LAST lead of the game for KU. KU starting pitcher Kewen Kershen, now 4-3, faced only four batters, yielding a double and three singles. NU scored five runs in the first and added four more in the second.
Rick Bogdan, who relieved Kersen in the first, walked seven battens before he was relieved in the third, which was the inning that NI scored eight runs. Joe Scherger hit a grand slam home run for the bit blow.
NU catcher Jon Hennie followed with a grand slam of his in the fourth inning.
Temple said the forecast for Sunday had been worse than Saturday's so both coaches and players felt pressure.
"THE WEATHER had nothing to do with the 21 runs." Temple said. "The 21 runs has to do with a lot of bases on balls and a lot of gopher pitches. Nebraska has a lot of 14 hits. It was just a matter our pitchers not being able to pull all over and when they did, it hit it up."
KU, now 24-9-1 overall, fought back to win the second game, 8-3. The Jayhawks pushed four runs across the final innings. KU starter Terry Sutcliffe worked four innings in picking up the victory. Sutcliffe, now 7-4, got fine relief from Franck Poulin, who gained his fifth of the season.
NU's runs came in the fourth inning. Pete O'Brien walked and scored on Tarrill Carroll's double. Carroll then scored on a home run by Dan Dixon.
Dixon, NU's leading hitter, also had two home runs in NU's 21-9 victory.
season. After the count on Victoria Harris had run to 3 and 1, the hair set in and the game was delayed. When play began again, the team moved up two more runs on four jumps and two walks.
"Fortunately our players didn't let down after the first game," Tempel said. "They were playing well, but we played pretty well in all the games. It was just a matter of pitching, not bad fielding. Sutcliffe wasn't as sharp as we like to be, but he was better than beset Voyce came in to shatter them off."
KU's best performance on the mound came from Dan St. Clair in the first game
KU CATCHER Andy Gilmore led off the seventh win with his sixth home run the
St. Clair allowed only two hits as KU won 4-2. St. Clair, a junior right-hander, now 5-1, retired 10 straight batters and set down 19 in the second NIU scored their two runs in the first innning.
TWO WALKs, a single by Val Primane,
two stolen bases and an error by Gilmore
to the NU runs. The only other hit ST.
is Brien's one-to-eight out-double by
O'Brien in the sixth.
KU scored one run in the second, third, fifth and seventh innings. The Jayhawks' run in the seventh came on another Gilmore home run.
Prismant connected for two home runs in the premiere game F Friday and led NU to an 84 victory.

KU tennis team splits matches
Although the Big Eight championships are only three weeks away, the KU tennis team is on its way.
Since the spring break tour of the West during which KU was 3-4, the Jayhawks have won just two of six meetings. Over the weekend, KU won one and lost one KU lost to Southern Illinois University-Carbondale but defeated a weak Western Illinois team,
"It's been somewhat of a lull; we're in kind of a slump." KU men's tennis coach Tomeki Vivado said. "We're not playing the best tennis. 'It is kind of a tough period.'
"They were very strong one through four." Kvistso said.
Although Saturday's match with Western Dinsnus wasn't close, Kivisto was greatful that he wasn't a winner.
AGAINST SIU, the Jayhawks could manage just two single victories, and both were near the bottom of the line. Wayne Seallw and Bill Krizman were victorious
"That's the first easy time we had all year. That's the first easy match we had scheduled this year," he said. "We kind of jumped on them."

LARE Rusch suffered the loss for KU. His record now stands at 2-3. Rusch gave way to Clay Christiansen in the fourth when he drove in two runs with a triple in that innning.
BUFFETS
"Several of their home runs would have been out in our ball park," Temple said. "They have a short porch in left field. It kind of snowballed. Nobody could stop them and happen once in a while. But a couple or of them might have gone out in any park."
"I'm very pleased with the split. I didn't think we would come back from our two road trips 6-2. Nebraksa has a good team that were fortunate to win four from Iowa State."
