SOFTBALL
Jayhawks capsize in game two against Hurricane
BY BEN WARD bward@ku.edu
Tuesday's doubleheader in Tulsa amounted to yet another split for Kansas softball.
The Jawhawks won the first game 6-3 but fell in the second 4-0, marking the team's fifth split in its past seven series. Inconsistent play has plagued Kansas (17-26, 4-8) all season. The two contests on Tuesday exemplified the team's struggles.
"The two games were night and day," senior outfielder Dougie McCauley said. "We played well in game one, but in the second game we made a bunch of mistakes defensively and just couldn't get the bats going."
Game 1:6-3,W
WP - Blair (2-3), LP - Kinard (10-6), SV - George (1), HR - Pottert (5), Clark (6)
Game 2:0-4,L
WP - Lawrence (13-4), LP

The Jayhawks had those bats going early in game one, though, scoring five runs the first inning. McCaulley led off the game with a triple and soon scored on an RBI single by senior third baseman Val Chapple. On the next pitch, senior catcher
Elle Pottorf blasted a home run, and two batters later, sophomore utility player Allie Clark launched a home run of her own.
"It was a huge boost to get those runs so quickly," Bunge said. "It really picked us up and made it much easier for our pitching staff."
Tulaa countered with three runs of its own in the second, but the layhawk pitchers held off the Golden Hurricane bats the rest of the way.
Freshman Sarah Blair picked up a victory for Kansas after relieving senior Valerie George in the second inning. Blair struck out two in the next four frames and retired nine Tula batters in a row at one point.
George returned to the circle in the sixth inning, and she worked
"Blair struggled in her first inning but settled down really nicely
the final two innings on the way to earning her first save of the season
and gave us some small innings," coach Tracy Bunge said. "But with a couple runners on in the sixth, we had to bring George back in with the experience, and she shut them down."
The layhawks also had a balanced offensive attack, with six
players combining for eight hits in the game. McCaulley and junior first baseman Amanda Jobe each had two hits and two runs scored.
Tulaa got on the board first in game two, jumping ahead 1-0 in the fourth on a sacrifice fly. The Golden Hurricane then smacked six hits in

the fifth, chasing junior pitcher Sarah Vereltal from the game and extending the lead to 4-0.
"Sarah was actually pitching pretty well out there," Bunge said. "She just made a couple of
mistakes here and there, and Tula really made the most out of them."
Despite racking up their six runs and eight hits in the first game, the
Jayhawk bats were silenced in the nightcap. Tulsa junior Jackie Lawrence was strong from the circle, allowing only five hits while striking out seven Kansas batters.
McCaulley said Lawrence had pitched a good game but should have been hittable for the Jayhawks.
Despite two hips apple from McCauley and sophomore shortstop Kolby Fesmire, the team was unable to duplicate the offensive success of game one.

"We've got to work through our at-bats better," McCaulley said. "We just struggled to make adjustments."

Cabrera's win at Augusta helps Oakmont's champion status
BY DOUG FERGUSON
Associated Press
If great golf courses are defined by their major champions, then it's easy to understand why the membership at Oakmont Country Club was so thrilled to see Angel Cabrera in a green jacket.
No other championship course in America can boast such a long and distinguished list of major champions.
Gene Sarazen, Sam Snead, Ben Hogan. Jack Nicklaus. Johnny Miller. Ernie Els.
Not many people knew much about Cabrera when he won the U.S. Open at Oakmont two years ago by one shot over Tiger Woods and Jim Furyk. He was big, burly and his hardscrabble life was as much Pittsburgh as it was Argentina.
Oakmont has hosted 11 men's professional majors, and only two of its champions — local pro Sam Parks Jr. at the 1935 U.S. Open and John Mahaffey at the 1978 PGA Championship — never won another Grand Slam event.
Thanks to Cabrera's victory at the Masters, the one-hit wonders will stay at two.
"I think it's very important," said Bob Ford, the longtime head pro at Oakmont. "It validates this as a course that produces great champions. Great names win here. We were hoping for Woods to win, and when Angel won, it was like, 'Who is this guy?'
"Now, he's a Masters champion."
Oakmont has some competition as the greatest roll call of major champions.
Augusta National doesn't count for obvious reasons — it's the only course that holds a major every year.
Ditto for St. Andrews, the home of golf, where the British Open has been played 27 times. That might be the greatest place to win any major, for even Nicklaus, a six-time Masters champion, once said. "I was always told that to be a good golfer is one thing, but to be a great golfer is to win at St. Andrews." The British Open has used only 14 links courses for its 137 championships.
As for American courses used for the U.S. Open and PGA Championship?
Pebble Beach can surely state its case with Nicklaus, Tom Watson, Tom Kite and Woods winning the U.S. Open, and Lanny Wadkins winning the PGA Championship. All of them are, or will be, in the Hall of Fame.
Oakland Hills has hosted nine majors, and while its list includes two players with the career Grand Slam (Hogan, Gary Player) and four other multiple major champions (Padraig Harrington, Ralph Guldhall, David Graham and Andy North), it also features Steve Jones and Cyril Walker. The nine winners at "The Monster" have combined to capture 30 majors.
Cabrera plans to return this summer to Oakmont to take part in a recent tradition of awarding national champions an honorary membership to the club. Ford said Cabrera will be presented a jacket worn only by members.
Most appropriately, Oakmont's jacket is green.
