8 Wednesday, April 28, 1971 University Daily Kansan A Storybook Finish—Floyd Temple (13) Gives Instructions to Paul Womble (24) Who Promptly Delivers Grand Slam Home Run to Win the Game Kansan Staff Photos by JIM FORBES Womble's Grand Slam Homer Lifts Javhawks Past Colorado By RICK SABBERT Kansan Sports Editor The Kansas Jayhawks used a triple play and a ninth minning grand slam home run by Paul Worrell to defeat Colorado, 8-7, in baseball action at Quincy Field Tuesday. It looked as if the Jayhawks might drop their third consecutive series game to the Buffalo as Colorado commanded the games throughout the first eight frames. Colorado jumped out in front to an early 10 lead in the first inning as the Buffalos capitalized on two base hits and a Jayhawk error. THE BUFFALO ALTEN THEN went two up on the Jayhaws as catcher Dave Engles connected for a solo home run leading off in the third inning. KU came back to even the score at two apiece in their half of the fourth. Skip James led off with a walk and was promptly followed by Wombie's eighth home run of the season on courde came back with two runs in the sixth inning on three hits and an error. Doug Clark opened it with a double to left field that got lost in the sun and dropped in between three KU fielders. Dudley Mitchell followed up to right the field to score scoring Clark. A line out to third base follow and then Wille Nichols grounded out, James KU first baseman, caught Mitchell off second but threw the ball away trying to pick Mitchell off the bag allowing the CU center fielder to score. The Buffalo followed with two more fulls in the seventh, Engels and Clark put together back-to-back singles which was enough for them to reach the final. Andy Austin to relieve starter Carter Ullom, Ullom. A PASSED BALL AND a throwing error by catcher Larry Matson allowed Engels to score and Clark to go to second. Mitchell with a single up the middle scoring Clark. The Jayhawks got back one run in their half of the seventh and Bannon sung to open up the defense. KANSAN Matson delivered a single to right field which advanced Lahti to second and Bob Wolf came on to score Lahti with a single to left field. hit into a fielder's choice at third base. CU scored one in the eighth and the score board showed a 7.3 Colorado lead at the top of the KU half of the ninth. Labi started the game with a well-timed shot and advanced to second on a wild pitch. Temple brought on Steve Corder to pinch hit for Aldridge and lefthand hitter made the trip to first base via a Colorado error by Bennett. He then loaded the bases with an infiel hit. Biff Bottle tempt an easy RBI as he walked driving in Latto. James struck out and that led to a foul. BUFFALO COACH IRV BROWN made a costly mistake as he brought to Mike Archer to pitch to Womble. On the second pitch by Archer, Womble blasted a 400 feet plus distance to his goal. He opened the Oliver parking lot clearing the base into giving the Jawhawks an 8-7 victory. The Jayhawk locker room was ecstatic after the game. Coach Temple was pleased and is ready to go after Iowa State this season. The Jayhawks meet the Cyclones in Armes. Wolf said that while he was at second base the CU infraiders didn't want any body to pitch to Wombside since he had already hit one home run in the game. Pitcher Bob Kauman came by Wombe's bocker and told him, "I livers (Wombe), I bob." That Wombel did as he pounded on his eighth and ninth home runs of the season. Those nine home runs give him the KU record for most home runs in a season and it also gave him the school career mark of 16. His six RB7 gave him the KI1. His six RBTs gave him the KU career mark for runs batted in with 64. THOSE WEREN'T THE ONLY records set When the staff graded films of the scrimimage Baaler was credited with eight awards. Bamster opened spring drills at defensive end as Fambrough re-shaped Kansas' defense from a four-man to a fiveman front. Until the end of the season, was progressing well at the new position. Both Fambrough and Bernhardt were pleased with the performance and apparently basler will go into the 1971 campaign at that position. Versatile Phil Basler In New Role Saturday Then Fambrough and his defensive aid, George Bernhardt, decided to try Basler at defensive tackle. He worked at that spot three days before last Saturday's scrimmage, but a stranger might have thought he'd been playing there all along. Two years ago a husky lefthanded freshman from Harry Truman's home town quarterbacked one of the squads in Kansas spring football game. He went on as a sophomore to lead the team in passing and total offense. Last year that same young man played linebacker in the traditional spring game and won it. This Saturday Phil Basker will be stationed at a third position—defensive tackle—when coach Don Fambry lines up his troops at the start of the final spring game, but kicks off all 12. *This is an example of the attitude of our players and this has been the most pleasant experience for us.* The 252-unit upgrading senior from Independence, Mo., typifies, in Fambridge's opinion, the sacrifices his first jawhawk was bringing in an effort to become a better team. "It takes a lot of character for a young man to do what Paul Basler has done and keep working all the harder to try to make us a better football team." Farmhughes offers. The Jayhawk squad will be divided into a "White" team and a "Blue" team for Saturday's game-condition scrimage, but Fambrigha he does not plan to make a final decision on the makeup of the squads until late in the week. "As of right now, Phil's got that spot and, unless something happens that would make it necessary for us to move him that's where he'll be playing," Fambroub says. Admission for the spring game will be $1.50 for adults, 50 cents for grade school and high school students and an ID card only for KU students. Fans who want to come early for the Kansas-city State track dual starting at 11:30am can see both events for one admission price.

He also tied the season RBI high with 9%. Womble said, "I'm glad we beat these dudes. With a season like this any win is good." The jubilant third baseman said Archer kept showing him a knuckle ball while he warmed up. He said he knew the CU pitcher would have to come back with a fast ball. And it was a fast ball that Wornble knocked out. One possible record that is unsure of is a triple turn in the by the Jawhaws in the eighth innning. With runners on first and third Stearns hit a routine ground ball to Hansen at shortstop who picked off the Colorado runner going to second with a fielder's choice. Wolf fired the ball back to third baseman Wonble who trapped CU's runner between third and home plate. The run down went from Matson 10 James to B Hansen who You couldn't believe it unless you saw it for yourself. Record or not, it seems ironic for the team last place in fielding to turn in a triple play.

And you guessed it, he did. National League Willey Mills, who will be 40 years old on May 6, spooled Aaron's 600th career honer celebration with a run - scoring single in the 10th inning Tuesday night to lead the San Francisco Giants to a 6-5 victory over the Braves. | | W | L | Pct. | GR | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Montreal | 8 | 9 | 10.0 | 58 | | St. Louis | 12 | 9 | 10.0 | 63 | | New York | 9 | 8 | 10.0 | 763 | | Pittsburgh | 10 | 7 | 10.0 | 489 | | Chicago | 7 | 11 | 10.0 | 454 | | Philadelphia | 7 | 11 | 10.0 | 454 | Aaron became only the third man in baseball to reach the 600-homer plateau when he slammed his eight of the season in third inning with a man on base. Only Babe Ruth (714) and Mays (633) have hit more than the 37-year-old Aaron. Then came the 10th and Mays, who had four hits, rified a two-out single to right with two men on base to score Hal Lanier with the deciding run. Aaron's smash gave the Braves a temporary 4-3 lead, but the Giants tied the score in the fifth on a homer by Willie McCovey. The Giants took the lead again in the seventh on a sacrifice fly by McCovey only to have the Braves tie things up again in their half of the seventh on a triple by Marty Perez and Ralph Garr's fourth single of the game.
