Pitching not enough as KU drops two
By ARNE GREEN Sports Writer
Kansas' baseball team got its best pitching of the season but could not overcome a weak hitting attack and some shaky late-inning fielding plays. The pair of extra-inning games to Oklahoma State.
The losses, 3-2 in nine innings and 3-0 in eight,
coupled with a split against the Cowboys
Saturday, leave the Jayhawks with a 1-3 Big
Eight record. 13-8 overall.
THE DOUBLE HEADER against the Cowbys was a make up for Sunday's games, which were rained out. A winibill with South Dakota State, where he would play, could be played so that the conference game could be played.
"The bad thing about it is to have the pitching and only win one game in the series," KU Coach Floyd Temple said. "Their pitchers put our bats to sleep and we put our bats to sleep."
KU battles managed only two hits off Cowboy pitcher Mitch Cipon in the second game, and struck out 14.
Junior lefthander Randy McIntosh, who shut
out the Cowboys on three bits through the first bit to come into some had luck in the eighth and took the loss.
"Randy had good control and he did what he had to do. 'Temple said.' He shouted out. Sullivan was quiet.
THE COWBOYS scored the game's only three runs on a single, a fielder's choice and a throwing error as they batted on the order against four Jawhawk nitchers in the eighth.
The Jayhawks gave up three hits in the inning and made two throwing errors, but it was n't all bad. The Hawks had a 3-1 win.
With a runner on first and no outs, Cowboy shortstop Bruce Kastelic tried a sacrifice bunt. McIntosh fielded it and threw to shortstop Jeff Nezuil for the force play at second. Nezuil then threw wildly to first and Kastelic went to second on the error.
Temple was upset that KU catcher Dennis Wagner didn't back up first base on the play.
"I WAS VERY disappointed in the outcome because they didn't win it, we gave it to them," he said. "If we made the backup play like we should, they would have had a runner on first
In the first game, freshman Dennis Copen, 4-0,
holds the Cowboys scoreless for five innings,
and they fell to Texas 12-6.
with one out and we would still have the force at second."
Matt Gibson came on in relief in the sixth and out汁down Oklahoma State, but the Bajawicks hit 17.
Third baseman Russ Blaylock evoked the game for KU in the bottom of the seventh with his eight home run of the season, however, and sent the game into extra innings. Blaylock added a double in the game, as he collected half of the Jaywhaws four hits in the game.
THE GAME-WINNER for Oklahoma State came in the ninth innning when designated hitter Mark Poole leed off with a double. George Chadwick then pinch ran for Poole, and scored on consecutive fly balls by Glenn Edwards and Daren Diks.
The Jayhawks host Colorado in a nonconference doubleheader at 1 p.m. tomorrow, then travel to Manhattan for conference and against Kansas State Saturday and Sunday.
Thomas leads Hoosiers to NCAA championship
Because of their patient style of play, few teams come from behind to beat the Indiana Hoosiers. One quick lead is often all the Hoosiers need to win a basketball game.
North Carolina made the fatal mistake of falling behind Indiana early in the second half of the NCAA championship last night. The result was a 63-50 Indiana victory, giving the Hoosiers the second NCAA championship in five years.
Indiana outscored North Carolina 10-2 early in the second half, including three baskets by All-American Isiah Thomas. After that, the Hoosiers played the patient passing game of Coach Bobby Knight, and added a delay game late in the game to seal the victory.
THOMAS SCORED 23 points in the game, 19 in the first half, and 22 was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player.
'Thomas' second-half performance was
just too much," North Carolina Coach Dean Smith said. "Indiana's defense was very active. I don't think we played as well as we did in the previous year this year's team. Indiana was better tonight."
North Carolina was leading in the first half until Indiana's Randy Wittman hit a shot with one second left to give the Hoosiers a 27-28 halftime lead. Wittman kept Indiana in the first half, scoring eight points and forcing North Carolina out of its 13-1 zone defense.
THE HOOSIERS have now won two titles in six years. They won the championship in 1976, in a game played in Philadelphia's Spectrum, the site of last night's game.
In the consolation game, Jeff Lamp scored 25 points and Lee Raker added 21 to lead Virginia to a 78-74 victory over Louisiana State.
