Jayhawks play error-free in double-header sweep
By KEN DAVIS Sports Writer

In one word, that is probably the best way to describe the 1980 Kansas baseball season. After losing 10 lettermen from last year's regular season, it wasn't expected to do very well this season.
But KU has been full of surprises which was certain to keep the crowd guessing. The Jawahra swept a doubleheader from the Oklahoma Sooners, the defending Big Eight Conference champions,
THE SURPRISES began when KU Coch Floyd Temple announced his starting lineup for the first game. Temple's cardline card had shortstop Steve Jelts moving to second base,
reserve Loren Hibbs going to stopport, second baseman Mark Glef moving to third and third baseman Roger Riley sitting on the bench.
Temple had been distressed lately with the Jets and Riley, who had combined for 30 games for the Nuggets games. And even though Riley is hitting at a .200 cup and had started 72 consecutive games, the team has not.
The move was a success. KU didn't commit a single error in the twinbill.
"This is not an experiment," Temple said yesterday. "It was a calculated move and it worked out the right way."
"RILEY WAS elated and Jeltz was elated. It took some pressure off for them. Hibbs was elated too. But Gile went into shock. He
had never played third before, but he didn't look it yesterday. I hope he doesn't wake up. He told me was only one thing he wouldn't do and that was catch."
Riley entered the first game as a pinch ball player and the second game in right field. Temple said the news would start again today when the Jayhawks take on Okahoma State in two games in
While the KU defense was doing a good job of adjusting to the change, the KU offense continued the onslaught that has now reproduced 57 runs in six conference games.
It was a day of big innings for the Jayhawks in which Matt Gundelfinger led the way. The Shawnee Mission junior went

3-for-4 in the twinball, collecting three home runs and eight RBI's.
Oklahoma was breezing along with a 4-1 in lead in the fourth innings of the opening before the Jayhawks got untracted. Gundelinger started the inning by reaching first on a pitch thrown by Dick Lewellen, Scott Wright, Hibbs and Ibis drove in a single runs for the Jayhawks.

The Jayhaws added an unearned run in the fifth and Gundelfinger hit another two run homer in the sixth to pad the lead to 14-2.
GUNDELFINGER WASN't finished.
With KU down-1 in the third inning of the nightcap, he got a rare fastball from pitcher Buster Posey. He rounded-up the bases with the bats of Jawhawk
THE PTITCHING KU received from Jim Lippert and Randy Mandle no longer a supporter of the team, but themselves as the aces on the squail. The team, the opener to keep his record per day at 7-4.

Clayton Fleeman came in to preserve the victory. McIntosh is now 5-1.
But perhaps the most surprising aspect of the season is the KU record. The Jawahays are 20-6 overall and Kansas is 6-0 in conference play.

Aikens breaks batting slump to lift KC over Tigers
By MATT SEELEY Sports Writer
KANSAS CITY, Mo—Willie Mays Aikens couldn't have picked a finer time to get his first hit in a Royals' uniform.
Aikens, hiltsers in 13 previous trips to the plate this season, lined a two-out-bases loaded single in the seventh inning to drive in a pair of Kansas Cats runs and won by 6-5. The Bears lost by 11 lakers.
"Since I hadn't had a hit, the odds had to
be with me and not against me," Alkens said of his first Royal hit. "It took some pressure off. But I really don't put any pressure on you, but I'm going to tell the ball the way I want to help him."
U. L. WASHINGTON led off the seventh with a walk and took two on Willie Wilson's single. Breekt Brett out to first, advancing the runners to second and third.
Detroit manager Sparky Anderson then
elected to walk designated hitter Hal McRae and pitch to Alkens.
anyone it'd rather pitch to Akens a 1,000 times than pitch to McCae," Anderson said. "Who do you think is the better hitter?"
THIS TIME it was Aikens. Anderson's strategy backfired and the Royals capitalized for a 34 lead after seven innings.
Kansas City received six strong innings from starter Paul Spiltter. The lefthanded hurler, making his first start of the season, scattered six hits while striking out one.

The first Royal run came in the fourth when Pete LaCock blooped a single into
"Before the game I was worried about him," Royal manager Jim Freed said. "He told me his arm was good, but I didn't buy it 100 percent."
"We had said that if we could get six good
inmings out of him he *will be* happy." Frey said. "If we had five or six more runs on the board, I probably would have let him continue."
"MY ARM GOT Tired in the sixth," Spiltritter said, "Frey said I started to shorten up in the sixth. I felt a little stiff and there was some pain."
Women's team turns in solid performance
Frey said his trip to the mound with one but in the sixth left him no choice but to pull Solitortoff.

Rosema was equally impressive in his seasonal debut. The righthander, who made only 18 appearances last year, allowed only six while walking five in seven innings work.

"The wind was blowing pretty hard and with it cold and overcast it wasn't very conducive to running well," Hamilton said.

One Jayhawk who did well was Robin Small, who continued to lead the Jayhawks.
"When I went out to talk to him he said he wasn't as strong, so we had to make a move," he said.
Hamilton said he was slightly disappointed, however, with the relay teams. Only the 40-meter relay team placed for the tournament second with a 48.51 pitch, Texas won in 46.88.
