'Hawks split with Washburn
By ARNE GREEN Sports Writer
Rv ARNE GREEN
Juan Ramon and Brain Gray hit home runs and pitcher Kevin Kroeker had his second straight good outing yesterday to lead the KU baseball team to an 8-1 victory over Washburn and a split of their doubleheader. The Ichabods won the opener, 7-6.
With the Jayhawk trailing 1-6 in the third inning, he broke it open with his third hour of the year.
SHORTSTOP JEFF Neuzil opened the inning with a bloop single to right and scored on Gray's double. Second baseman Roger Riley then drove in with a Baylack Bloody field deep to, bringing up Ramon.
Ramon drove the ball over the fence in right center, scorting Gray and Riley ahead of him, who continued to run.
namum, who also had two doubles and a single game, went six-for-eight on the day, with
"I was quite pleased with Juan," KUCH Cochal Foxy Temple issued that you have to do. "I will try to be nice and other people."
Temple said he also was pleased with the
deadlock, and he kept a slump with a dimpled and a home run in the game.
"Brian is swinging the bat as well as I've seen him swing since last year," he said.
GRAY, KU'z altime leader in doubles and RBI, hif his first homer of the year, a two-run shot to right, in the sixth inning. He was three-for-six for the day with five RBI.
On the mound, Kroker continued to pitch well for the Javhawks. The freshman righthander
worked five innings, giving up one run on four hits and running his record to 3-0.
Last week he shut out Fort Hays State for his first complete game.
"Give Kreeker a plus for a good pitching performance," Temple助会. "Kevin will probably get a start for us in the weekend series (against Iowa State)."
Although the Jayhawks played well in the second game, the first one was more like a
THE JAYHAWKS gave up five unearned runs in the second inning, and could never catch up.
With two out and runners on first and second, KU center fielder Dick Lewallen displayed a fly ball off the bat of Washburn's Steve Wofford, scoring one run. That miscue was the only opening the ichabbs needed as they lined three picks off loser Dennis Copley for another four runs.
The Jayhawks rallied with three runs in the bottom half of the inning and a single run in the fourth, but the Ichabods answered with two in the fifth to put the game out of reach.
KU returns to Big Eight action this weekend when we meet Iowa St for doubleheaders on March 23.
The Jayhawks, 6- and 5th in the conference, need a good series to stay alive for a post-season berth. They trail fourth-place Oklahoma State by one game, but the top four to play in the regional tournament.
"We can't afford to split or lose any more series," Temple said, "but we're still in the fight. Our players know what they have to do and they're just going to have to go out and do it."
"We've got to play better than we did today."
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (UPI)—Len Barker fired a seven-hitter and struck out nine batters last night to lead the streaking Cleveland Indians to a 4-0 victory over Kansas City and a three-game sweep of the Royals.
Cleveland sweeps Rovals' series, 4-0
Barker, 1-1, never was in serious trouble as he coasted to his fourth straight triumph over the Royals dating back to June of last year. Royals was the fifth straight for Cleveland.
Barker and loser Dennis Leonard, 1-2, were locked in a pitching duel for the first six innings, but the Indians struck for four runs in the seventh to drive Leonard from the mound. Alan Bannister and Tom Veryzer produced one-out singles and one outfielder, Jorge Orta in Bannister; Mike Hearn then doubled in both Veryzer and Orta to make it 3-0.
Reliever Jim Wright then intentionally wielded a sword to Joe Charebone, who stabbed the fourth run.

Baseball follower urges fans to strike back at big leagues
Sports Writer
By ALVINA. REID
David Clay thinks turn-about is fair play and
thousands of major league baseball
fans do it.
Clay is a member of the Major League Baseball Fans Union, which is spearheaded a baseball fan strike May 16. He thinks a strike would serve major league baseball right.
"A FANS' STRIKE would add some levity to the dismal atmosphere that surrounds the major league players vs. owners confrontation," Clay said.
"The strike also would serve as an instrument to let the players and owners know that the fans are not a passive and disinterested third party in their dispute."
The Major League Baseball Players Association has threatened to strike if a settlement is not reached between players and owners by May 17.
Owners want to establish a plan similar to the National Football League's "Rozelle Rule," which says a team must be compensated for the loss of leaves in a team through the free-agent market.
Players contend this plan would destroy the treasured market, and as a result, keep salaries low.
"GO IN ANY BAR in America and you will hear the disgruntled voices of baseball fans who are sick of the childish behavior by both players and management," Clay said.
"Fans are the ones who deserve compensation because we make players millionaires while owners raid outrageous profits or sell their own tubes in the tanks in order to stay financially afloat."
Fans in this part of the country don't seem to be interested in a baseball strike, though.
Fans of the Royals, Dodgers, Antros, Angels and Yankees said no to a fan boycott. Dodger fans accounted for 27 percent of the entire "no-boycott" note to the National League.
On March 20, gin mills in major league cities became polling places on the issue of a fann's strike. Of the 28 major league cities only five are now in rebellion. Kansas City was one of those cities.
Clay said that for the strike to be a total success, fans should not only strike, but should actively picket every major league game May 18.
"THE ONLY WAY we can let players and owners know we mean business is if we go all the way with this," Clay said. "It seems that the only thing the two parties understand is money, so if we hold our dollars back, maybe they'll straighten up."
"A grass roots baseball strike by fans can only be effective with mass participation," Clay said. "If we beat the players to the punch our voices would have been heard."
Royals fans who sympathize with the strike will have to wait until next year to show their displeasure. Kansas City begins a weekend series in Boston May 16.
