Three Kansas pitchers combined on a one-hitter to lead the Jayhawkto 4-1 victory over Arkansas yesterday in Fayetteville, Ark.
Kansas, now 3-2, also won Saturday's game 7-4 after Arkansas claimed the series opener Friday, 13-5.
"Both are good wins for our pro coach Dave Bingham said. I'm ready."
Freshman Dan Rude, making his first collegiate start Sunday, pitched four and 1/3 innings, walking five hitters and striking out three. Rude gave up the Razorback's lone hit and run.
Sophomore David Meyer took the mound with one out in the fifth inning and pitched three and 2/3 innings for the win. Sophomore Chris Corn shut the Razorbacks out in the ninth inning for the save.
Sophomore Darryl Monroe was 2- for-4 and hit his first home run of the season in the win.
Arkansas, 4.3, had been averaging more than 14 runs a game until Kansas held the 'Hogs to an average of six runs a game during the three-game series.
Kansas had a scare during Friday's game when senior pitcher Curtis Schmidt injured his right shoulder while diving for a ground ball. His injury status will be known later this week.
On Saturday, Jimmy Walker held the Razorbacks to two runs and five hits in five and 1/3 innings. Junior Tom Stewart relieved Walker with one out in the sixth inning with Arkansas threatening to score.
"I was a little nervous as you might expect coming in in that situation," Stewart said. "But I love those situational that's what baseball is all about."
Stewart earned a save after pitching three and 2/3 innings, giving up two runs and three hits, while striking out three.
Junior designated hitter Kent Mahon was 3-for-4 with a run batted in and Jeff Niemeier was 2-for-4 with three RBI.
The victory improved Kansas' record to 9-4 overall and 2-2 versus ranked opponents.
Friday, the Jayhawks pounded Duke 5-1. No. 1 singles player Rafael Rangel, ranked No. 50 in the country, defeated the Blue Devils' David Hall, ranked No. 46, 6-3, 6-3. At No. 3 singles, Kansas's Carlos Fleming stayed hot with a 6-3, 7-6 victory against Duke's Chris Pressley.
Saturday, the 'Hawks wrapped up 17th place as they defeated the Game-cocks 3- in doubles to win the match. Under the tournament format, doubles was only played if the score after six singles matches was tied 3-1.
The Kansas women's tennis team also played this weekend at the Arkansas Invitational. Friday night, the Kansas women defeated Southern Methodist 5-2, and Saturday, they beat Alabama 5-4. They finished the weekend with a 5-4 victory against Arkansas on Sunday.

NCAA meet.
Kempf said invitations to the NCAA Championships would be handed out after the Olympic Trials, which are scheduled to end March 6.

Save Our (Team) Spirit!
A wise-cracking young woman once said, "A basketball is round, but who cares? The Pub is 'round the corner!'
She had an attitude problem. But we changed that with a little positive reinforcement. We took her to a KU basketball game. Now she camps outside of Allen Field House every night before every home game. She found the true meaning of team spirit at that KU game, and she hasn't been the same since.
Because KU has the best, most volatile tradition of basketball in the country, it was no surprise when she quit hanging out at the Pub during the home games. Not only did she gain
new insight into the word victory, but team spirit boiled in her heart for the first time, as she read her complimentary Jayhawk Basketball Poster Series
Collection poste that described for her what she'd been wondering the whole season: Who the
men were behind the uniforms and who the opponents were that KU fans were so fired up, ready and willing to watch (as they lost to the best team in the country).
Of course she had heard that MU and KU were rivals ever since the civil war, but she had no idea what the rest of the teams were all about. Now she is learning.
The Poster Series is her instructor. She's coming along just fine. Fans say she'll be a true, blue KU
basketball guru in no time.
BY THE WAY, KU fans,
thanks for con-
vining your near-
uncontrollable urges to land your posters, kamikaze style on the floor of Allen Field House. Without everyone's support, the posters would have been lost, not only from your hands, but from the hands of everyone in future home games.

Keep supporting our team and waving those posters, but don't lose 'em, abuse 'em, or even bruise 'em.
