Monday, March 27, 2000 The University Daily Kansan Section B · Page 3 Hawks fall short in weekend series against Missouri Continued from page 1B A lack of hits wasn't the only problem yesterday — senior pitcher Rusty Philbrick often fell behind in the count, which allowed Tiger batters easier at-bats. Del Chiaro, who caught for Smart on Friday and Philbrick yesterday, said he should have told Philbrick to throw a variety of pitches. "We need to stress the importance of getting ahead in the count," Del Chiaro said. "If we don't mix up the pitches, the batters can figure them out and string hits together." Philbrick gave up the back-to-back home runs that ignited the Missouri hit trend, but Randall said the elements had their hand in the left-field smashes. "It was a lefty wind today," he said. "They wouldn't have been home runs if not for the wind. Rusty didn't have his best stuff coming off three day's rest. But it's over — we need to make un some ground." With a 5-7 conference record, the 'Hawks drop to the bottom half of the Big 12 standings. Three conference series are on deck for Kansas, including run-ins with conference leaders Baylor and Nebraska. "We haven't been swept, but we've only won two of three once," Randall said. "It has to happen at some point, and we can't dig ourselves a big hole. So we have to sweep Baylor. We busted our tail, but we have to play better." Kansas Baseball notes: Junior John Nelson returned to shortstop after a five-game absence because of a thumb injury. He went zero for five at the plate. Two qualify for NCAAs Bv Sarah Warren Kansan sportswriter Junior track and field team captains Scott Russell and Andrea Branson have a head start on the competition after automatically qualifying Saturday for the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Russell qualified in the javelin, while Branson did the same in the pole vault at the 2000 Dr Pepper Invitational in Waco, Texas. Branson won the pole vault with a jump of 13-feet-1 — out-leaping the second-place finisher by more than two feet. Russell, who was a redshirt during the indoor season, placed second in the discus and won the javelin with a throw of 259 feet — 53 feet farther than the next thrower. "Andrea and Scott getting an automatic qualifying mark in the first meet is great because then And although the other Jayhawks didn't achieve NCAA marks, the performances they turned in weren't anything to laugh at, either. you don't have to worry about it" coach Garv Zavtarsz said. The women piled up a firstplace, two second-place, one third-place and four fourth-place finishes. Meanwhile, the men's team had several strong finishes in addition to Russell's win. It collected two firsts, two seconds and two thirds. "It's really good to see that the entire team is achieving really good results," Russell said. "I know it's our first meet, but seeing them perform well at a small meet like this is great." The team heads to South Carolina Saturday for the Clemson Collegiate Series meet, its first scored meet of the season.
