'Hawks happy to play at home
By Ryan Wood Kansan sportswriter
After a three-game road trip that resulted in a sweep of Centenary College, coach Bobby Randall and the Kansas baseball team was glad to be home.
"I'm not a road warrior," he said with a smile.
Perhaps the smile came because the Jayhawks (4-0) would play 11 of their next 12 games at Hogland Ballpark, with the first game starting 3 p.m. today at against Newman University.
Kansas is riding a nine-game winning streak, dating back to last season. The successful stretch is the longest current winning streak in the Big 12 Conference.
"I think we're playing pretty well," senior pitcher Dan Olson said, "but there's a lot of room for improvement."
Olson and fellow senior pitchers Jeff Davis and Jake Wright have accounted for all of the Jayhawk's victories on the mound. The three have combined for a
minuscule 1.33 ERA, striking out 22 and walking five.
"You know what, they've been everything, and they're going to be more," Randall said. "They've brought some maturity and leadership."
As a whole, the pitching staff boasts a 1.50 ERA, and opponents are hitting just 220 against them.
"We've talked about earlier in the year how unproven our pitching was but there was some talent," Randall said. "We've been relentless as far as going at the hitters."
Fresnman Chris Jones is expected to star on the mound for Kansas today. He pitched two scoreless innings of relief against Ottawa, striking out one and giving up one hit.
"We're not gonna pitch Chris so much that he won't be available for the weekend," Randall said. "We'll see how the game goes."
