Power propels KU to three wins

By looking at the totals from the University of Kansas baseball games last week, some people would think the Javahueks fielded two different teams.
However, it was the same Jayhawks who beat Fort Hays State University 11-0 and 16-3 Friday and who then split a doubleheader against Washburn University Saturday losing the first game 2-1 and winning the second game 7-2.
KU now 12-5-1, pitched all in four games but hitting fielding per-team.
Dan St. Clair got KU off to a good start by buring a three-hitter against Fort Hays in the first game at Quigley Field. The right-banded junior college transfer struck out 12 Tigers on his way to his second shutout of the season.
Lee first started the KU parade of runs in the first innning. The senior third baseman
"THAT WAS THE best I've pitched so far this season," St. Clair, 24, said. "I was on today and all I really needed was my fast ball. I relied on that mostly."
Jayhawks win tennis rematch
KU women's tennis coach Tom Kivisto wasn't surprised by the Jayhawks' victory over Stephens College Saturday. It was the 63 score that he didn't expect.
After all, when the two teams met earlier this year in the Southwest Missouri State Invitational, KU managed just a 3-3 tittle. It wasn't until he hit but competed without its top players, JEREMY
"Going in, I thought it was dead even." Kivisto said. "If we won, I thought we'd beat them 5-4. Still, I think now we could have beaten them worse."
KIVSTO SAID HE thought the Jayhawks, 5-6-1, had an advantage over the first meeting because nine matches were played Saturday and only six were played earlier
Kivisto said that he thought KU's last few spots would be to KU's advantage and that if KU had a weakness, it would be in the middle positions.
In the previous two matches, the Jayhawks' Shari Schruder and Kathy Merion, the 3rd and 4th singles players, scored 20 each against Stephens. The two players were 0-4
As the match turned out, it was the middle
note that surmised Kivisto most.
BUT SATURDAY, Schrüfer handled
Diane Langehouse 4-6, 7-5, and Merrion
1-3.
Other singles victories were recorded by Carrie Foulpoulos, the No. 1 player. singer.
The doubles team of Fodapoulos and Stauffer won, as did the队 of Merrion
out. The Jayhawks pushed across another run in the inning to take an early 4-0 lead.
The Jayhawks exploded for five more runs in the third inning. The big blow came from Monty Marlin, who connected for a grand-slam run to left field after two hits and was followed by stand-up triple and he was chased home by John Spotwood's single.
Marlin, also a junior college transfer, became the fifth player in KU history to hit two home runs in one game. The last back kick to perform the feat was Kurt Kniff in 1874.
Martin became the star at the plate when he added a solo home run in the fifth inning, and he went on to win 10 games.
"THIS IS THE first time I've ever hit a grand slam and the first time I've ever hit two home runs in one game." Marlin said. "Both were fast balls. The first time I got the pitch was looking for it and the second was cracking back - just a hit pop fly and carried out."
On Saturday, KU traveled to Topeka to take on Washburn, a team that won only one of its first four games. Washburn pitchers silenced the KU bats for only two hits in the first game and the Ichabods wore 2-1 in eight innings.
Pitcher Terry Sutcliffe fanned eight and gave up six hits while going the distance to 179.
Kansas batters were not any kinder to the three pitchers that Fort Hays used in the second game than they had been in the first. The defense was better in four doubles, three triples and a home run.
Back to back doubles produced Washburn's first run in the first inning, KU defeated Utah 7-6 (3) by 6-4.
sword's single scored Steve Jeltz from second.
KU starter David Rusch pitched 5% innings before being lifted for reliever Gleen Worley, who worked two innings and did not hit a home run in 2012, became the loser pitcher in the eighth.
IN THAT INNING, Mike Keeley reached one on a first running error by Marlin and went to second on a wild pitch. Mike Frye then walked. Mike Sheaon hit a bouncer to Worley and the KU pitcher hesitated before Worley at marlin at second, where Wrye was forced out.
Marin then threw to first in hopes of a double play but first baseman Brian Gray could not come up with the throw and the catch. Errant, it was one of three errors made by KU.
"Worley didn't give up a hit," Temple said. "But he hesitated on that throw. If he makes the play, we might still be playing inside." He made the ball too. But that's just bad baseball.
"RUSCH AND WORLEY both pitched good games and they deserved to win it but that's baseball. I'm displeased with our performance in that game. We'a better fielding team than that. We made too many mistakes."
KU committed only one error, connected for nine hits and won the second game, 7-2. Pitcher Kereshen went the distance to win, covering four hits and moved his record to 2-1.
Kerschel did not allow a walk and in 19 innings pitched this season has allowed just
Ice and Vickers led the KU attack with both its hits. Ice had two RIBs and Vickers won all three.

Windy weather and opponents' errors gave the Kansas Jayhawks some help in winning a softball doubleheader Friday from Northwest Missouri State University.
Jayhawks ride elements to sweep
KU softball coach Bob Stancil said yesterday that the Jayhawks made an effort to use the wind to their advantage by hitting to the opposite field.

"WE ADJUSTED BY HITTING to right and right center fields to avoid the wind." Stancliff said. "The wind can be an enalizer."
Stancliff said wind conditions helped KU hitters, who faced slower pitching than
Senior infielder Julie Woodman said she had expected the games to be much closer.
"The pitches in the first game were slower and we seem to have trouble usually with slow pitching." "Woodman said." "But you can pitch better," he said. The second pitcher was a bit faster."
WOODMAN HAD four hits in as many
times at bat in the second game, collecting
them all to win.
KU forced many of the Bearkitt errors, anlaff said, by taking chances at the plate and hitting them.
"We stole bases and tried to set up situations that would force errors," he said.
--pitched a one-hitter against the Bearkitts, said KU's hitting allowed a pitcher try to get the ball.
The Bearkittens were guilty of five errors in the first game and four in the second game.
Senior Karen Schneller said KU forced many of the Bearkint fielding errors.
"I DIDn't SEEM that they had been drilled on what to do in situations as we had," Schmeiler said. "We hit right at them and they couldn't handle them."
Schneiner said KU had to play aggressively and take chances in high-scoring games early in the second before playing in post season tournaments.
However, Schneller, a first baseman,
said, opponents also need to be aggressive to
be successful.
"We need people to hit our pitching too so we can react," Schneller said. "Nobody got on base Friday except for one person. That didn't help us out."
The Jayhawks compiled 18 hits in the
bubblehead and held the Bearkitts to a
one-hit streak.
JUNIOR PITCHER Shelley Sinclair, who
Stancliff said the Bearkittens had not proved to be as competitive as he had experienced.
"They only new people were in the out-field and at catcher," Stancliff said. "Also, they had beaten Texas Women's and we had them. We expected them to play better."
The Jayhawks practiced yesterday in preparation for tomorrow's doubleheader with Central Missouri State University at Warrenburg, Mo.
KU has won its last seven games. Sinclair improved her record to 3-2 with the victory Friday and senior Paul Hernandez kept the lead going through catching a one-hitter against the Bearkitts.

Do not roll the keg down a fall before attempting to tip it.
2. Do not pump in too much pressure after dipping. This can blow the natural carbonation out of the beer and make it foamy.
3. **If the person tapping the keg makes either of these mistakes, politely point out the error of his ways. Unless, of course, he weighs 265, plays tackle, and goes by the nickname of Moose. In this case you should simply say "Nice goin' Moose."**
