Jayhawk victory against the Wildcats propels team close to top half of the Big 12
BY JUSTIN HILLEY jhilley@kansan.com
On a day that was so sunny one of the umpires had to move his chair to the other side of the court half-way through the dual match, the Kansas Iayhawks defeated the Kansas State Wildcats yesterday in the Sunflower Showdown for the 40th time in school history. Kansas has only lost seven times in the schools' all-time matchups.
The lavahawks are now 4-5 in the Big 12 with an overall record of 9-10.
With three games remaining in the regular season, the team is in seventh place riding closely behind Nebraska and Texas Tech, which are both 4-4 in the conference.
Erin Wilbert lost its match to the Wildcat's Mariya Slupska and Natasha Viera.
The Jayhawks began the doubles round on a shaky note when the KU pair of sophomore Maria Martinez and freshman
However, the loss was balanced and eventually overcome by the doubles pairings of senior Edina Horvath and freshman Ekaterina Morozova, and senior Yuliana Svistun and junior Kuni Dorn when they won their matches 8-5 and 8-4, respectively.
The KU tennis team is now 6-0 in dual play when they win the doubles point.
"The score shows 5-2, but I don't feel it was an easy win," Horvath said. "We definitely had to win the doubles point to make it easier, but I feel like everyone played pretty good."
Entering the singles round with a one-point advantage from the doubles round, the Jayhawks won four of six matches when Siviston, playing at the No. 3 spot, Martinez, Morozova and Wilbert all defeated their opponents in
straight sets.
With the dual match already decided, Horvath, playing at the No. 1 position, and Dorn each took their matches to three-set tiebreakers; however, both players lost 10-7 in the third set.
Wilbert was the first to win her singles match, which has been a familiar sight at KU matches this season, but she warns not to read too much into it.
"Playing in the No. 6 position, just because I finish first, doesn't necessarily mean anything. All the other girls are playing girls that are higher up in the line-up," Wilbert said.
In general, the better player plays at
"It feels good to be a freshman and to be winning," Wilbert said, "I hope I can keep it up when I'm a sophomore."
Horvath knows the difficulty of playing at the No. 1 position.
"It's so hard to play No. 1. It's so tough. You have to compete for every single ball so hard."
She has a record of 2-12 this season at that spot, playing some of the top-ranked players in the nation, and she has a season record of 3-2 at the No. 2 position.
better players play at higher positions on the lineup, but all season Wilbert has shown that she deserves to be mentioned among Kansas' better players.
EDINA HORVATH Senior
"It's so hard to play No. 1. It’s so tough." Horvath said. "You have to compete for every single ball so hard. At No. 1 spot, no one is playing bad, so it’s really tough to win a set."

Phillies beat Braves 12-11, receive World Series rings
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHILADELPHIA — First, they got their bling. Then, they got their first win.
Four Phillies walked with the bases loaded during an eight-run seventh inning and Philadelphia rallied for a 12-11 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday.
Raul Ibanez hit a two-run homer, helping the defending World Series champions overcome a 10-3 deficit and avoid a three-game sweep on the day they received their shiny new rings.
"We played 2/5 games where we hadn't done much right, but we
came back and got them," manager Charlie Manuel said.
Brian McCann and Jordan Schafer hit two-run homers for the Braves, and Javier Vazquez left with a seven-run lead after pitching six effective innings in his first start with his new team.
But the Phillies rallied against Atlanta's bulpen in the seventh. Eric O'Flaherty got one out before Chase Utley singled and Ryan Howard was hit by a pitch.
Peter Moylan came in and walked Jayson Werth to load the bases. Ibanez and Pedro Feliz hit consecutive RBI singles to cut it to 10-5.
Then, three straight batters
walked to force in runs. Moylan walked pinch-hitter Matt Stairs. Blaine Boyer (0-1) walked pinch-hitter Chris Coste and Jimmy Rollins. Jorge Campillo replaced Boyer and Shane Victorino singled in another run to get the Phillies to 10-9. Campillo then walked in Utley to force home the tving run.
Howard's slow grounder to first base brought in Rollins and gave the Phillies their first lead of the season. 11-10.
"This club, we never feel like we're out of a game," Ibanez said. "We certainly felt we can come back if we put good at-bats together."
Pinch-hitter Eric Bruntlett's sac
rifice fly in the eighth provided an important insurance run. Matt Diaz homered off Brad Lidge with one out in the ninth to get the Braves within a run, but Lidge retired the next two batters to end it.
"I've never seen anything like it," Braves manager Bobby Cox said of the bullpen's meltdown. "I've seen a couple walk-ins, but never like that."
Clay Condrey (1-0) struck out the only batter he faced to earn the win. Ryan Madson retired the side in the eighth and Lidge earned his 52nd consecutive save, including seven in the postseason and three dating to 2007 with Houston.
During a lengthy pregame cer
emony, the Phillies received their championship rings. They are made of 14-karat white gold featuring 103 diamonds totaling 3.84 carats.
Watching the festivities seemed to inspire the Braves. They jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first for the third straight game and kept piling on.
Chipper Jones and Garret Anderson were late scratches, forcing Cox to juggle his batting order twice. Jones has a bruised left thumb and Anderson tweaked his right calf.
Joe Blanton got roughed up by Atlanta's makeshift lineup. He gave up seven runs and nine hits in three
innings but avoided losing for the first time since joining the Phillies last July 17. Blanton was 4-0 in 13 starts after Philadelphia got him in a trade with Oakland. He was 1-0 in two postseason starts.
McCann's two-out shot to right gave Atlanta a 2-0 lead. McCann also hit a two-run homer in the first off Brett Myers on opening night. Ibanez hit Philadelphia's first homer, connecting in the second to tie it at 2.
Atlanta broke it open with five runs in the third. McCann had an RBI single and left Francoeur drove in two runs with a single. Diaz hit a two-run double to left for a 7-2 lead.
