Jayhawks look to beat Drake after invite victory
GRIFFIN HUGHES

nament of 2015, the rowing team grabbed a couple of victories in the varsity four boat races. Sophomore Mallory Miller and senior Sarah Lasini were the coxswains in the two winning boats, which each finished in less than seven minutes and crossed the finish line at least three seconds ahead of their competition. One-third of Kansas' boats finished in the top three during the competition.
Kansas rides the momentum of a very strong first spring regatta into their next matchup:
a scrimmage against the Drake Bulldogs. Drake is coming off a sweep at the hands of Alabama last week on the high waters of the Black Warrior River. Drake had four boats in the event and failed to win any of the events they raced in. Alabama bested them by more than 20 seconds in every race.
The Drake varsity four boat also struggled tremendously, taking nearly 10 minutes to finish a race in which the fastest team crossed the finish line in eight minutes, 17 seconds. Kansas four boats took no more than seven minutes, five seconds to finish their races in Louisville.
The dual with Drake is just
a scrimmage; however, it is crucial development time for a Kansas team that will dive headfirst into the toughest part of its schedule after this weekend. After squaring off with Drake, Kansas moves on to face Southern Methodist University in Dallas on April 4 and then the Knecht Cup on April 11.
"I think [the Louisville Invite] gave everyone some confidence," said coach Rob Catloth, who is the only coach in the history of Kansas rowing. "[It] sets the tone for the rest of the semester on how we can race."

Weber said in a statement that Foster and Harris did not live up to standards the school sets for its players, but he did not elaborate. He said Thomas decided he wanted to move closer to home.
Thomas led the team with 102 assists and started 25 games, but also was briefly kicked him off the team before a road game against Texas.
After a sterling freshman season, Foster's play deteriorated this sea-

Nationals ace Scherzer looks ready for opener, fans 9 Cards
St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Ty Kelly (68) drives in a run with a sacrifice fly in the eighth inning of an exhibition spring training baseball game against the Washington Nationals on Wednesday in Jupiter, Fla.

JUPITER, Fla. — Max Scherzer looked amply ready to start on opening day for Washington, striking out nine in six shutout innings during the Nationals' 1-0 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday.
Nationals manager Matt Williams recently announced that the newly acquired Scherzer would make his first career start in an opener. Washington begins at home against the New York Mets on April 6.
Making his fifth start of the spring, the former AL Cy Young Award winner allowed only three hits. He didn't walk anyone and threw 59 of 82 pitches for strikes.
"That was a result of me executing pitches today," Scherzer said. "I felt like I did a good job of generating swings and misses with all my pitches, but more importantly I didn't walk anybody. I was pounding the zone."
Scherzer also hit Matt Carpenter with a pitch. The Cardinals said he had a bruise on his right quadriceps.
"I think I only fell behind two hitters, too, so that's a more telling number than anything," he said.
"He wasn't happy about it, but it was one of those things that it hit him kind of square on the quad and that can potentially lead to something else, so why mess with it?" manager Mike Matheny said.
Matheny also removed Kolten Wong as a precaution after the second baselaw was hit by a pitch leading off the eighth.
Cardinals starter Michael Wacha also enjoyed a strong outing, giving up four hits in 5 2-3 innings and striking out four.
Nationals: Stephen Strasburg threw a bullpen on Tuesday and is ready to appear in a Grapefruit League game, manager Matt Williams said. Strasburg rolled an ankle in the weight room, causing him to miss what would have been his third scheduled spring start.
Wacha retired 13 of 14 batters at one stretch, a string only interrupted by his first walk this spring.
STARTING TIME
Ty Kelly hit a sacrifice fly in the eighth.
"We'll just slate him in later on at the end of the week," Williams said.
Cardinals: Matheny said John Lackey will start in Friday's split-squad game at Roger Dean Stadium against the Mets, while Carlos Martinez will head to Viera to face the Nationals.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Nationals: Jayson Werth played only in the field in a minor league game on Wednesday. Afterward, he was scheduled to get more aggressive with his batting practice. Werth underwent offseason shoulder surgery and has yet to appear in an exhibition
game.
"I'm encouraged by him," Williams said. "There's no issue with throwing, so that's a good sign."
Closer Drew Storen appeared in a minor league game on Wednesday. He underwent surgery to repair a broken non-throwing hand earlier this spring. He is expected to be ready for the start of the season.
game.
Cardinals: Tommy Pham, whose candidacy for the final outfield spot is running out of time, did some running before the game but still isn't ready to play because of a quad injury.
The Cardinals' lineup looked much the same as it is expected to look once the season begins, which means Jon Jay hitting seventh and Wong batting eighth. To Matheny, that's a formidable look.
"I don't think he's that far away," Matheny said.
MIDSEASON FORM
"That's not a whole lot of time for the opposing team to breathe," Matheny said. "Either one of those guys could really hurt you at any time."
