really intense innings, we're as good as anyone around," she said. "It's something we talk about but haven't been able to do vet."
Senior Kelly Campbell said it was fun to finally be playing at home and because the team hadn't had a lot of practice time outside, the players enjoyed the opportunity to get two extra games in during the week.
"The weather was good today," she said. "And we'd be practicing anyway, so we'd rather play games."
Sophomore pitcher Kara Pierce dominated statistically from the mound, allowing two hits, one run and two walks while recording six strike-outs in seven innings of play. But Bunge said there's still aspects of Pierce's game that she needs to work on.
"Her curve ball was a little inconsistent today." Bunge said. "Her drop ball was nice, but this was a good game for Kara to work through some things. This was a team that didn't make her pav for some of her mistakes."
Although Div. II Pittsburgh State was not able to capitalize on some of the Jayhawks' mistakes, Bunge said it was exactly games such as yesterday's and today's.
that could cause the Jayhawks' problems.
"Number one, we respect every opponent we play." Bunge said. "For some teams, playing us can be the highlight of their season. Those teams can come up and bite you. We can't let who we play affect how we play. I've challenged our team to play seven very intense innings tomorrow."
Kansas will get the chance to meet that challenge at 4 p.m. today against Emporia State at Jayhawk Field.

Senior Randy Strann, the first of six pitchers, threw four innings, allowing just one hit and no runs to earn the victory.
"It was good to get all of our pitchers out there," Randall said. "I thought they did well again."
Junior catcher Beau Thompson hits a ground ball and heads for first base. Kansas defeated Avila College 24-3 yesterday at Hoglund Ballpark.
Most of the starters were substituted out in the middle innings, but the hits kept coming. In all, 12 different Jayhawks recorded hits, and the team had
14 extra-base hits on the day, including a record-tying four triples.
"We had a lot of guys do well," Randall said. "I was glad to see some of the guys that hadn't been
playing much get some hits. "Mission accomplished."
