But this time the team wants to win it all. Kansas coach Dave Bingham said that last year's team had four goals. The team wanted to win the Big Eight regular season title, the Big Eight tournament, the regional tournament and the College World Series. "We only met one of those goals, winning the regionals," Bingham said. "This year's team is very focused on the other three." fall schedule that runs from Sept, 20 to Oct. 25. The team will compete in intrasquad games and will play some junior college teams, Bingham said. Before they can reach those goals, the Jayhawks will prepare for the upcoming season with a five-week "The goal the fall will be to get our young pitchers some experience." Bingham said. "Mike Green, Scott Tittrington and Clair Baind need more innings, as well as our freshman pitchers." we're looking at Brian Turney and also Clint Hardesty at that position," Bingham said. Both players were on last year's squad. The fail practices and games will also be time to work on filling positions left vacant by last year's senior standouts Jeff Berlinger and Jeff Niemeyer. Two players will compete to fill Berlinger's spot at second base, Bingham said. Bingham said Turney, a sophomore, was the front-runner for the position right now, but he needed to improve defensively. Jack Wilmont is expected to replace Niemeyer as catcher. "He is there because of his summer experience at Hays in the Jayhawk League," Bingham said. Despite his summer baseball play, Bingham said Wilmont needed Division 1 game experience. "He is unproven," Bingham said. "This fall we're going to get him in as many game situations as we can." Another problem with losing Niemeier was that he provided strong leadership. Niemeyer was kind of a quarterback for us behind the plate, "Bingham said. "We need back to get that point in a leadership role." Bingham said he wasn't worried about the team from a talent standpoint, but was concerned with the lack of team leadership. we lost a great amount of leadership losing seven seniors," he said. "We'll have to see if this group of seniors can provide that kind of leadership. It's a new role for them. I have all the confidence in the world that they can." Here is what to do to try out for the Kansas baseball team: Baseball tryouts Information will be given concerning the equipment needed for practice. Players will be asked to fill out forms prior to practicing. Anyone interested should call the baseball office at 8647907 before practice begins Sept. 20. Practices will be at Hoglund Maupin Stadium, just south of Allen Field House. KANSAN "It is an everyday process, and the process is always more fun than the outcome." Bingham said. The team will start the fall season with walk-on tryouts Sept. 20, which are open to all students. PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL Royals defeat gives Twins needed boost to end losing slump KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kirby Puckett's 10th- innning sacrifice fly gave Minnesota a 3-2 victory over the Kansas City Royals last night and ended the Twins' six-game losing streak.

Paul Willis got his third save, striking out Gary Gaetti for the final out with runners on first and second. Rick Aguilera, normally the Twins' stopper, missed the game with a sore neck. Shane Mack singled home the Twins first run in the third after Dave McCarty doubled leading off. SPORTS in brief Jose beat the throw to second, but overslid the bag and was tagged out. The umpires, however, ruled that Greg Gagne crossed the plate before the tag-out. Knoblauch doubled home Mack in the fifth. Kansas City tied the score 2-2 in the seventh despite Felix Jose's second base-running error in as many innings.

Kansas City had homered in nine consecutive games. Rovals bring Miller back to KC KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Royals activated Keith Miller from the disabled list yesterday and sent rookie Phil Hatt to the minors. Miller has been out since June 5 with a partial ligament tear in his left thumb. He was injured trying to make a tag at third base. Miller had spent a week on a rehabilitation assignment at Class AAA Omaha where he batted .292 in six games. Miller, acquired in the Bret Saberhagen trade with Kevin McReynolds and Gregg Jefferies in Dec. 1991, was on the disabled list twice last year and played 106 games. The Royals use Miller at third base and in left field. McReynolds, who was handed the left field job by Manager Hal McRae after McRae tried platooning him with Chris Gwynn, is down with a sore neck. Gwynn started in left against Minnesota yesterday as the Royals went into the stretch four games behind the Chicago White Sox in the AL West. Haiti started fast for Kansas City and was virtually the entire offense as the Royals stumbled out of the gate at 2-9. Haiti, one of the young players the Royals are counting on for the future, slumped and was hitting, 218 with seven homers and 36 runs batted in when he was sent down. Much of that production came before June. Ventura accepts suspension CHICAGO — Robin Ventura of the Chicago White Sox dropped his appeal of a two-game suspension for fighting with Nolan Ryan, AL president Bobby Brown announced Monday. Ventura's suspension for the Aug. 4 incident, in which Ventura charged the mound after getting hit by a pitch, began Monday night against the New York Yankees. Manager Gene Lamont said that the final decision was Ventura's, but that the White Sox wanted the matter out of the way as they battle for the AL West title. "Personally, I would rather have had a hearing, but I don't want to disrupt things," Ventura said. The left-handed hitting third baseman was punched six times in the head and face by Ryan, who was not ejected from the game. Compiled from The Associated Press. College costs have got you down...
