Softball team hangs on to beat Mississippi State
By Ali Brox
Kansan sports writer
The Kansas softball team learned from its mistakes in a 5-4 loss against No.18 Florida State on Friday and was able to hang on for a 4-3 win against No.22 Mississippi State yesterday.
"We need to be able to finish ball games," coach Tracy Bunge said. "We had it won on Friday and gave it away. But if we can learn from the loss how to finish games, then that's a good thing."
Kansas jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the first inning against Florida State, but the Seminoles started their comeback in the sixth inning with two hits and two runs. moving the score to 4-2.
Two more runs in the bottom of the seventh won the game for Florida State.
Because of severe thunderstorms and almost six inches of rain, Kansas was not able to play Saturday.
Kansas senior pitcher Kelly Campbell had a no-hitter for 4.2 innings, but gave up five hits before being relieved by sophomore Kara Pierce.
Kansas again jumped out to a 4-0 lead against Mississippi State yesterday. The Bulldogs cut the lead to 4-2 in the fifth inning and threatened again in the seventh.
After getting the first two outs of the seventh.
freshman pitcher Serena Settlemier hit a batter. Mississippi State followed with two hits that scored a runner and moved the score to 4-3. It looked like it could be a repeat of Friday's game, but Kansas got the final out when Christi Musser caught a fly in left field.
"Going into the seventh inning, we wanted to do well because we hadn't played the full game on Friday, and we didn't want that to happen again," Settlemier said. "We were more fired up and focused because of what had happened against Florida State."
Christi Musser hit a two-run home run in the second inning against Mississippi State. In her next at bat she hit a drag bunt for a single. Mixing it up like that makes it very difficult for the defense to play her.
"She's our leader on offense right now," Bunge said. "She's in a comfort zone. When she goes up to the plate, she has a good idea of what she wants to do."
The 1-1 outing in Florida moves the Jayhawks' record to 5-7. Kansas plays its first home game on tomorrow against Washburn at 4 p.m.

Several Kansas track and field athletes will have to wait until this afternoon to find out if they will be competing at the NCAA championships in Favetteville. Ark...next weekend.
Track and field athletes wait to see who qualifies for meet
The Jayhawks turned in six provisional qualifying marks at the Alex Wilson Invitational in South Bend, Ind., and the Nebraska Last Chance in Lincoln, Neb., but they'll have to wait for the NCAA to compile and publish the official qualifiers to see if their marks stand up.
Now Hann will have to wait and see if anyone else around the country jumped far enough to nudge her out of the meet.
Freshman Brooklyn Hann reset her own Kansas record in the triple jump, winning the event at the Wilson Invite with a leap of 42-31 1/4. her placing in a tie for 11th in the country.

In Lincoln, junior Vadim Gvozdetskiy upped his provisional mark in the pole vault to 17-11, which places him fifth nationally and, barring disaster, into the NCAAs.
Senior Jennie Wonder broke her own school mark in the 60 meter hurdles at Notre Dame with a time of 8.32 seconds, a provisional mark that places her in the top 25 in the country but not quite high enough to make the trip to Arkansas.
"We had some good performances but unfortunately not everyone hit a qualifying mark," coach Stanley Redwine said. "We're excited about our athletes who did well."
