Keith Haves has a saying: The grass is greener on the other side of the fence. However, after
this weekend in Arkansas,
the freshman spinner feels like he is straddling that fence.

The team sent its best sprinters to compete against some of the top schools and fastest times in the nation.

Hayes competed in the 60-meter hurdles, where he took fourth place with a time of 8.17 seconds in his preliminary heat. His time was strong enough to place him 16th overall. The top 16 finishers in a preliminary race continue competing. The top eight go to the final round and the bottom eight finishers compete in a consolation round.
"It didn't feel all that great."
Haves said about his perfo

Hayes said that he was glad to be able to get past the preliminary rounds because in the past couple of meets. Hayes has failed to qualify in the top 16 and felt like he has

The No. 25 Jayhawks were just one out away from another huge upset Saturday. Up 2-1 against No. 11 Tennessee in the top of the seventh inning senior pitcher Val George got two quick outs, striking out right fielder Danielle Pieroni and getting second baseman Nicole Kajitani on a ground out to third baserman Val Chapple. Pitcher, Ashton Ward, then stepped up to the white jersey and beaten up.
double down the left field line, eventually scoring on a game-tying RBI single from Jen Lapicki. In the eighth inning, Tennessee put up two more
runs, beating Kansas 4-2.
"Leading up to the Tennessee game, we had not played well all weekend but we played this game with a lot of energy and confidence," said coach Tracy Bunge in a postgame interview. "After the game, the girls were down. It was a very tough loss, but looking at the positive side, we swung the bat really well and had a great outing from pitcher Val George."
Throughout the game, the lajhawks played well both offensively and defensively. Hitters had eight hits and committed no errors in the field. George pitched all 8 and two-thirds innings, striking out eight.
Kansas bounced back Sunday versus Bowling Green, winning the game 9-0 in five innings. George pitched a five inning, one-hit shutout, while the offense chipped in with nine hits and nine runs, averaging .380 for the game. Defensively, the team played its second consecutive game without an error and helped to end the UCF Early Bird Tournament on a positive note.
UFC Invite scores
The Jayhawks began the tournament 1-2, notching a 7-6 victory in their second game against Western Carolina and losing two close games, 3-2 against South Carolina in nine innings and 2-0 against Bradley. The team played well in the win over Western Carolina, hitting .370 while driving in seven runs, but defensively played poorly, committing three errors. In the two losses, Kansas committed three errors and went six for fifty-six from the plate, a .110 average.
Bunge commented on the play of the defense. "We did not look good defensively. We need some more repetitions and time out on the dirt. I'm hoping for good

George and shortstop Stevie Crisosto were tournament all-stars for Kansas. George pitched 21 and two-thirds innings and had a 1.6 ERA, striking out 24 to only three walks issued. Crisosto led the offense with a .500 average during the tournament's five games, racking up three RBIs, two
runs, five walks and two stolen bases.
