Huskers' second run.
Kansas scored a run in the top of the second when senior second baseman Amy Hulse singled and advanced to second on senior shortstop Courtney Wright's buntsingle. Sophomore catcher Dani May moved both runners with a sacrifice bunt, and Hulse scored from third on the Nebraska catcher's errant throw to second.
Nebraska scored again in the bottom of the third for the 3-1 lead and added a run in the fourth to push the score to 4-1.
Kansas narrowed the deficit with two hits and a sacrifice fly in the top of the fifth inning.
May led off with a single and was followed by a walk to senior center fielder Shelly Musser. Weinstein's single loaded the bases with no outs and Tabb followed two batters later with a sacrifice fly that pulled the Jayhawks within two, 4-2.
The Huskers had five runs in the bottom of the sixth before the Jayhawks tacked on two runs in the seventh.
Shelly Musser hit a lead-off single but was out at second and Weinstein reached on a fielder's choice. Christi Musser homered for the eighth time this season for the 9-4 final score.
Three pitchers took the mound for the Jayhawks. Junior pitcher Kirsten Mil-
hoan started and pitched three innings, giving up six hits and three runs. She was replaced by sophomore Kara Pierce who surrendered six runs on six hits on 2 2/3 innings. Senior Kelly Campbell retired the only batter she faced.
Game two was a different story for the Jayhawks. With freshman pitcher Serena Settlemier on the mound for Kansas, Nebraska managed just four hits and two runs. Settlemier (10-7) struck out seven for the complete-game win.
Shelly Musser went 3-for-4 and scored one run, while Christi Musser was 2-for-3.

A packed stadium of 20,000 fans at the Drake Relays will help the adrenaline levels too, he said.
"It's going to be awesome. I'm excited about that," Gvozdetskiy said. "My dream is to jump against big guys. It's a chance to show yourself and see what you can do."
Happy with his life in the United States, Gvozdetskiy is content to go home in the summer for a couple months. He will take some summer school classes in June and go home in July.
"I don't know, right now I don't really miss it that much," he said. "I just know that right now I need to graduate and get a degree for economics and see what happens there. I'd like to stay here and train a little bit more with coach after I graduate and see if I can get better with pole vault."

DYER
Former Kansas coach Terry Allen eventually decided to bench Dyer in favor of Mario Kinsey, who was dismissed from the team by Mangino during the offseason.
"From any situation you can take a positive away from it whether it is bad or good," Dyer said. "It taught me some things I needed to work on, maybe not getting so upset after certain plays and moving on to the next play."
Mangino has been working on Dyer's mental approach to the game his spring, trying to get him
"That's difficult, especially at quarterback," Dyer said. "You make a bad play, it's kind of on your mind the next play, but it can't be. There is no easy way to clear that up."
to concentrate on each play and not think about the previous ones
Some Kansas receivers have said this spring that Dyer seemed to be throwing the ball with more authority than in past years.
"I don't know if my arm is necessarily stronger," he said. "I've been putting a little more on the ball at times. Also, I know what type of ball to throw, whether you need more touch or you need to fire it in."
Dyer's more relaxed outlook has developed into a greater awareness of his importance to the team.
"I feel a lot more comfortable about what we're doing. I feel confident in our whole system and
"He's throwing the ball very well, he's taking command of
the offense, he's shown leadership qualities and I'm really pleased with all that he's done."
