Softball goes .500 for the weekend
By Laura Bokenkroger
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas softball team split both its doubleheaders last week end against Texas and Texas A&M
The Jayhawks jumped ahead early against the Texas A&M Aggles Saturday.
Left fielder Sara Holland singled and then stole second base, bringing up catcher Kristina Johnson. Holland advanced to third on Johnson's single shot to left field. With runners on the corners, the Jayhawks called for a double steal. The Jayhawks led by one.
Texas A&M scored its only run in the bottom of the first iming, and pitcher Jessi Kowal gave up only three hits in seven imings.
Shortstop Michelle Huber picked up two RBI in the game, bringing home center fielder Julie True in
the third inning and Holland in the fifth.
With a 3-1 lead in the top of the sixth, Holland hit a double, picking up two RBI and padding the Jayhawks' lead 5-1.
Kowal held the Aggies scoreless after the first inning, and the Jayhawks held on for the 5- victory.
In the second game, the Jayhawks fell behind 2-1 early in the bottom of the first inning. Texas A&M scored again in the fourth on a wild pitch to go up 3-1.
Johnson hit her third home run of the season and the 12th of her career in the bottom of the sixth inning, but the Aggies held the Jayhawks scoreless in the seventh to secure the 3-2 win.
"Hitting another home run is nice, but it's not as nice as winning games," Johnson said.
Coach Tracy Bunge said defensive mistakes hurt them against the Aggies but they could fix them against Texas.
"After you win the first, you always want to win two so I was disappointed with the loss in the second game," Bunge said. "However, I was pleased with our pitching and our offense."
the ninth-ranked Texas Longhorns Sunday came from behind in the first game Sunday to beat the Jayhawks 2-1.
Kansas led 1-0 with two outs left in the bottom of the seventh inning. Texas freshman Trisha Tatro drove
in two runs with a double. The long-
horns held on for a 2-1 victory.
The Jayhawks struck first in the second game, scoring three runs in the third inning.
The Jayhawks took advantage of two Texas errors in the fourth inning, picking up another run to lead 4-1.
With two outs and a runner on first, the Jayhawks collected two consecutive RBI doubles by center fielder Julie True and third baseman Sarah McCann. Holland contributed an RBI single, putting Kansas up 3-0.
Winning pitcher Christy McPhail threw five and a half innings, giving up only two runs on five hits. Kowal got the save, as the Jayhawks won 4-2.
Kansas takes on Oklahoma City tomorrow in a double header at 2 and 4 p.m. at Jayhawk Field.
Carleton soars above ultimate teams
Kansas women reach tournament finals
By Tim Harrington tharrington@kansan.com Kansas staff writer
Neither the men's nor women's Kansas ultimate Frisbee teams were able to pull off upsets in the 17th annual Fool's Fest tournament in Lawrence this weekend.
The Carleton College's men's and women's teams made it to the championship games and won convincingly against the 30-team field.
Carleton's tournament sweep was a surprise because the No. 2 nationally ranked University of Colorado men's team and the strong Colorado women's team were favored to win the tournament.
In the finals, Carleton's men's team beat a Kansas City-area team 15-7, and the Carleton women beat the Kansas women's team 15-2.
Sam Rosenthal, senior captain of Carleton's men's team, said the reason for his school's success was obvious.
"Some 80 percent of our student body plays ultimate in intramurals leagues," he said. "We get 'em while they're young."
The Kansas men's team, the Horror- Zontals, went 1-3 in the tournament with losses to Carleton, Notre Dame, and a one-point loss to the University of Iowa, which knocked off top-seeded Colorado.
"We just couldn't put it together this weekend," said Steve Chaitin, Chicago senior and Kansas captain. "In the next two weeks, we'll have to work on being more fluid on offense in order to do better at sectionals than we did this weekend."
The Kansas women's team, Betty Reunion, fared better than the men this weekend by making it to the championship game against Carleton.
"Our spirit lasted throughout the whole game," said Stefanie Kerr, Kansas City, Kan., junior and team captain. "We had a great time playing a great team on a beautiful day."
"For us as a team and for us as a part of the central division, this is a great warm-up for regionals," said Jethrol Quenemoen, Minneapolis, Minn., junior and Zontal captain. "All the top teams that are going to be there were here in Lawrence this weekend."
The Midwest regional tournament will be April 25 and 26 in Ann Arbor, Mich.
