High-powered offense and a stronger pitching staff propelled the Stanford Cardinal past the Jayhawks in a three-game sweep over the weekend.
Games one and two of the series proved preseason No. 5 Stanford's ranking correct. Stanford (7-2) handily defeated the Jayhawks, 7-3 and 9-2 respectively. A Friday night rainout forced games one and two to be played back-to-back on Saturday. The series finale was played as scheduled, but also resulted in a 7-6 Kansas loss.

being a two-run shot in game three.
Although the Jayhawks out hit the Cardinals 12-11 in the finale, the hits were not timely and could not prevent the sweep.
Game two also handed Kansas an opportunity for a victory, as the team lead 2-0 through the sixth inning. Price and senior catcher Sean Richardson each ripped an RBI single in the first inning.
It was in the bottom of the sixth when Stanford erupted for seven runs off of five hits. Kansas starter Clint Schambach, senior right-hander, threw a solid five innings before giving up four runs in the sixth. He was relieved by Michael Fitch, senior right-hander, who came in and immediately gave up a three-run homer. It was the first of Mayberry's two in the series. Schambach took the loss on the mound for Kansas. Stanford's Jeff Gilmore, junior right-hander, picked up the series' second win.

All three Kansas runs came off the bat of two hitters. Baty went 3 for 5 with one RBI and Milner hit two solo home runs. Sophomore lefty Sean Land, received the loss for Kansas. Land threw six innings and surrendered all seven runs. Sharpe came in to throw his first two shutout innings of the day.

The Jayhawks were able to pull out a victory in the number two doubles slot with junior Christine Skoda and sophomore Ashley Filberth. Kansas coach Amy Hall-Holt was pleased with the team's doubles performance.
"I thought our doubles teams really stepped up today," Hall-Holt said.
In singles, the Longhorns dominated the field sweeping all six matches. Junior Kendra Strohm, 32nd in the nation, disposed of freshman Elizaveta Avdeevae in straight sets, 6-1, 6-2. Junior Katie Ruckert blew past Skoda, 6-2, 6-0.
Hall-Holt made significant lineup changes, but the Jayhawks were able to capitalize on only one occasion.
Sophomore Brittany Brown competed late in a tight second set but fell to Courtney Zauft, 3-6, 6-7.
But the Longhorns routed the next two matches.
"The girls know how well we must play if we want to compete against the top teams in the country," Hall-Holt said.

WEIGHTLIFTING
Weightlifter wins medals, looks ahead
Kansas Olympic weightlifter Andrea Kelley won six gold medals Saturday at the National Collegiate/23-Under Weightlifting Championships in Charleston, III.
Kelley, Lawrence junior, lifted 55 kilograms (121 pounds) in the snatch and 70 kilograms (154 pounds) in the clean-and-jerk for at total of 125 kilograms (276 pounds), winning all three categories in the 48-kilogram (106-pound) weight class in both the collegiate and 23-under competitions.
Kelley said she was satisfied with her performance, but that she could have done better.
"I actually totaled 130 in training," said Kelley, who is ranked 19th in the nation overall and first in her weight class by USA Weightlifting. "But I made a couple of errors."
Her personal best is 127.5 kilograms (281 pounds). She set that at the National Championships last year where she placed third.
Kelley's next national competition will be the National Championships May 6-8 in Cleveland. She said she will probably need to lift at least 132 kilograms (291 pounds) at the meet to qualify for the University World Championships in July in Lille, France, which she said is her ultimate goal.
