Texas defense, hitting keys to weekend sweep
Continued from page 1A
The Longhorns added two more runs in the sixth, which closed out the scoring for the day.
The two runs in the sixth came with two outs. In the series, the Longhorns scored a total of 17 runs with two outs, a feat coach Augie Garrido was proud of.
"That shows the commitment our players have to sustain the rally and get the next guy up to the plate." Garrido said.
Junior Rusty Philbrick pitched five innings and gave up four hits. Kansas managed only six hits in the game.
Saturday's game was a different story, as the Longhorns pounded out 15 hits and scored 15 runs, defeating Kansas 15-4.
A bright spot for the Jayhawks was freshman Jason Appuhn, who continued to perform well. Appuhn hit his second home run of the year in the fifth inning.
In Friday's opener the Jay hawks faced one of the dominant pitchers in the nation. Texas right-hander Scott Dunn pitched eight strong innings and frustrated Kansas hitters until the ninth.
Trailing 11-3 going into the ninth, the Jayhawks pushed across three runs and left the bases loaded as a comeback attempt fell short. The 'Hawks lost 11-6, but left the game feeling good about their resilience.
"The way we played was not bad, but the final result was not good," Randall said.
The weekend series saw two hitting streaks continued. Texas right fielder Jason Aspito pushed his to 14 games, and Kansas outfielder Doug Dreher upped his to nine.
Kansas, 3-12 overall, and 0-6 in the Big 12 Conference, battled the Longhorns (15-6 and 6-0) all weekend.
Randall said the team was not far from winning two of the three games.
"There was a different approach and a different feel to these ball games," Randall said. "We got some things straightened out and found out what it means to play Jayhawk baseball."
"This is a different Texas team than I've seen in two years." Randall said. "They show you how to play baseball." "That pitcher today, wow, and the guy Friday night, those are two of the best in the country."
Despite how they battled and competed, Randall and the players gave a lot of the credit to Texas.
The Jayhawks will head back to the road Tuesday to play Southwest Missouri State at 2:30 p.m., and will travel to Iowa State this weekend for a three-game series.
