Musser's bat offensive key to victories
Continued from page 1B
Javhawks a 2-1 victory
"Shelly was clutch for us today when we needed it," Bunge said. "I don't think I've seen that kind of power from her this season."
Musser said she picked the right day to have the best game of her season.
"This was the perfect day for me to do well in." Musser said, "It's a real confidence booster for me."
Texas' Williams, who pitched for the 1996 U.S. Olympic softball team, was credited for the loss in both games. Bunge said it was two huge wins for the Jayhawks.
"I am very excited," a teary-eyed Bunge said after the games. "I'm so emotional right now because I know the struggles this team has been through."
Kansas split a doubleheader with Texas A&M SUM,
1-0 and 4-7. Texas A&M pitcher Amy Vining held the
Jayhawks hitless for eight innings in the first
game, but Workman kept Kansas in the game by scattering six hits during nine innings and holding the Aggies scorelever.
The Jayhawks scored the game's only run in the bottom of the ninth. Kansas loaded the bases with no outs on three consecutive singles. Courtney Wright drove in Christy Musser on a sacrifice fly to right field.
Kansas gave up four runs on four hits and three errors in the first inning of the second game to give the Aggies an early 4-0 lead. Texas A&M added three more runs in the top of the seventh inning to go 7-0. The Jayhawks mounted a rally in the bottom of the seventh, scoring four runs on five hits, but the comeback bid fell short when freshman Leah Tabb fled out to center field to end the game.

Running back carries 82 yards in first game

Mike Lewis knows the opportunities for him to shine are few and far between.
Before Saturday's spring game, the last game action Mike Lewis saw was his senior year of high school, in 1996.
As a freshman, he was a redshirt. Last spring, he blew out his knee and missed spring practice. Last fall, he didn't get into a single game.
Lewis admitted the inactivity made for some frustration.
"it's been a long two years." Lewis said. "All I could do is watch and learn."
Saturday, that learning paid off. The inactivity made Lewis quick to turn the spring game into his personal show, running for a game-high 82 yards on nine carries.
"I was ready to turn all that learning into doing," Lewis said after putting up an impressive 9.2 yards per carry on Saturday.
However, Lewis said he still had room for improvement, despite Saturday's effort
"I'm still a baby and learning how to play," Lewis said. "I just need to get better. I still feel confident."
This confidence is important for Lewis, Jayhawk coach Terry Allen said. Although the comparisons to better-known running backs will come after watching the spring game, Lewis' place with the Jayhawks is firm. Allen said.
"We don't have the second coming of Gale Sayers with Mike Lewis," Allen said. "He's
Lewis ranked behind the trio of Mitch Bowles, Henri Childs, and David Winbush, but said the talent entrenched above his name on the depth chart only added to his game.
still fourth on the depth chart at the running back position."
"I just watch all the other backs play and learn from them." Lewis said.
All the improvement made by Lewis adds much-needed depth to the running back position. Allen said.
"You can never have to many running backs," Allen said. "Mike Lewis is a good back.
He's not on the level of a

John Elway may pass on playing next year
After 16 seasons, the unparalleled master of the two-minute drill may be leaving football.
The Associated Press
Gradually, the Broncos became more than a showcase for one dazzling quarterback. But now, with certainty of Elway's retirement, the two-time Super Bowl champions enter uncharted terrain.
DENVER — For years, the Denver Broncos' offense consisted of John Elway and 10 other guys.
"For so many years, everything in my family has revolved around

next week. That's all I have to say
about it for now."
Elway: May call it quits after 16 seasons.
Sources close to Elway, speaking
"I've talked to him, and he told me what he's going to do," Broncos coach Mike Shanahan said. "But
Elway's announcement could come as early as today. But the Broncos probably will delay the announcement several more days because of the outpouring of grief about the killings. Funerals for several victims are scheduled for today.
on condition of anonymity, said he has told friends he is leaving the game.
Elway reportedly considered announcing his decision two weeks ago, but owner Pat Bowlen was in Australia promoting the Broncos' preseason game there. Then last week, the announcement was further delayed because of the school shootings in Littleton, Colo.
I'm not going to comment. I'm going to let John make his announcement."
Bowlen, while declining to confirm Elway's plans, said at a charity event Saturday night: "I've known this was coming for a long time."
Bowlen, who bought the Broncos in 1984, has never known the team without Elwav.
Running back Terrell Davis told the Denver Post: "This really lets some air out of your system. It's going to be tough to come back and not see him in the huddle."
"I think it's going to be odd for all of us," he said.
But Elway acknowledged several seasons ago that it wasn't his team anymore.
"It's Terrell's team now," he said.
