Men's tennis team double faults in home matches
By Erin Thompson
Kansan sportswriter
After dropping its second straight match, the Kansas men's tennis team hopes to build on its losses before facing No. 3 Georgia on Thursday.
The Jayhawks lost to Minnesota 4-3 Saturday night at Alvamar Racquet Club. In a repeat of its first match, Kansas battled back to tie the match at three with only the
No. 5 singles match left to be decided.
After losing the first set in a tiebreaker, freshman Ed Dus fought back and beat Minnesota's Tyson Parry in the second set. But Dus dropped the third set 6-2.
"It was tough, but I was enjoying myself," Dus said. "What are you going to do? There were a couple of shots and here that didn't go too well."
The Jayhawks fell behind early after losing two of three doubles matches. Kansas was settling into a new doubles lineup in the absence of junior Kenny Powell.
The No. 10-ranked doubles team of junior Enrique Abaroa and senior Xavier Avila did not play together. Abaroa played No. 1
"It was different (playing with Tucker) because the past year I've been playing with Enrique," Avila said. "But we needed to make some changes in doubles because we weren't winning a lot of doubles points."
Winning the doubles point is the key to getting off on the right foot in a match, said Kansas coach Mark Riley.
Despite losing, Kansas felt it had improved from its first loss against Arkansas two weeks ago.
"We have a chance with anybody in singles play," he said. "But we'd like to start winning the doubles point to take some pressure off the top four guys in singles."
"We learned a lot from the loss against Arkansas," Avila said. "We improved today, and we have to learn from this loss, keep getting better, be humble and keep working hard."
Dus said that after the younger players gained some experience, the Jayhawks would be better.
"We've just got to keep working. The top

four guys are good solid players," he said.
"I think we're playing well. If a couple of us can get a little more experience, a little more confidence, we can help the team out so we won't have to put so much pressure on the top four guys."

Aztecs, El Niño can't stop Kansas
Third game in series canceled after stormy weather on Saturday
By John Blakely Wilson Kansan sportswriter
Kansas baseball (2-0) conquered San Diego State (2-3) in the middle of El Niño, sweeping two games 10-3 and 8-4 while fighting showers throughout the weekend. A third scheduled game on Saturday was canceled because of rain.
Rusty Philbrick (1-0) won the first game, allowing just one earned run in four innings, and Les Walrond worked four and one-third innings in relief, giving up two runs while striking out six.
Five different batters had two hits each in the game: Cliff Bryson, Chad King, Sparky Wilhelm, Brett Kappelmann and Andy Juday. Bryson also led the team with three RBIs while batting in the third spot in the order
Aggressive running gave the team several opportunities to score. The
team stole four bases in the first game and six in the entire series.
"Our speed really helped us win these first games," Bryson said. "Our speed got our runners in scoring position and kept the pressure on them."
In the second game, Chris Williams (1-0) picked up the win, working three and one-third innings without allowing a run in relief. Mark Corson started the game, allowing three earned runs in four and two-third innings, while Chad Shuster closed the game and struck out a pair in one inning.
Bryson, Juday and clean-up hitter Josh Dimmick provided the offense in the second game with two hits each. Dimmick blasted the Jayhawks onto the board in the second inning with a solo home run.
In the eight inning, a San Diego State player doubled off the wall in the eighth inning with a man on second. Centerfielder Cliff Bryson fired a relay to shortstop John Nelson, who nailed the runner at the plate to help close out a tight ballgame.
"John Nelson made a great play," Randall said. "That took the win."
"These were two solid wins against a tough team under difficult conditions. Baserunning and
hustle made a difference, but we also got some huge clutch hits."

out of their sails."
The team combined clutch hitting, base running and improved fielding to sweep the Aztecs, who received votes in the latest national polls.
"These were two solid wins against a tough team under difficult conditions," Randall said. "Base-running and hustle made a difference, but we also got some huge clutch hits."
