nia State Northridge battled 15 innings deadlocked at one run apiece before the game was called because of darkness and ruled a tie.
The following day Kansas defeated a highly touted California State Fullerton team 3-0 in the first game of the Pony Invitational hosted by Fullerton.
"We showed our potential in the games against Northridge and Fullerton." Haack said.
If Kansas showed its potential in those games as Haack suggested, then it showed how poorly it could play in the following three games.
The Jayhawks held on to defeat Western Illinois 7-6 after leading 7-3 early in the first of the three games. Then Washington defeated Kansas 4-2 in a game that featured five Kansas errors. The Jayhawks concluded their spring break by losing to Texas A&M 3-1.
Kansas brought its 9-5-1 record back home and fell seven spots in the NCAA rankings, dropping from 13th to 20th. Its second attempt at a home onerer, this time against Missouri-
"I think we were tired of playing on the road," Haack said after the trip. "We're anxious to get some home games under our belts."
Kansas City was again rained out.
The Jayhawks then opened conference play by sweeping the four-game series against Oklahoma. Williams claimed three of the victories and pitcher Jill Bailey claimed the other. Kansas displayed some power at the plate, as both Bailey and Saxby belted home runs.
On April 6, Kansas was finally able to play host to a home opener, against Wichita State. The doubleheader, however, was not worth the wait as Kansas split with the unranked Shockers.
"I'm not pushing the right buttons," Haack said after the game. "We just can't lose to unranked teams."
in the Jayhawks' next Big Eigh match up, they split with Missouri each claiming two victories at home.
According to Haack, the Jawahaws hit rock bottom at that point.
"I guess I'm not doing a real good job of coaching right now," said a defected Haack. "Our intensity level is not where it needs to be at this point in the season."
Apparently Haack's coaching did a 180, as Kansas won its next eight games.
The Jayhawks began the stretch by sweeping their four-game series with Nebraska. Only one of the games was close, as the Hawks posted 5-0, 7-0, 4-1
3 and 7-0 scores.
Senior catcher Erin Wahua led the way with torr biting at the plate. For the series, she was 10-for-11 with nine runs batted in, eight of them coming in two-out situations.
Kansas' 10-2 conference record was good for second place in the Big Eight because Oklahoma State had a 9-1 record.
Haack and his team continued their winning ways as they swept a pair of doubleheaders from Pittsburg State and Creighton.
At last the stage was set for the showdown between the top two Big Eight teams, Kansas and Oklahoma State.
The Cowgirls took three of the four games from the Jayhawks, winning the last two on seventh-inning home runs. Haack, however, was proud of his team.
"I'm happy with our position," Haack said. "We're in the driver's seat. Either we're going to do it, or we're going to turn our stuff on on Monday."
we played very well," he said. "We had great defense and pitching, our hitting just wasn't there."
Tuesday, Kansas split a doubleheader with Creighton, making this week- 9 end's series with Iowa State the most important four games of the season.

Mark Gardner pitched six-hit ball for seven innings as the Royals beat Toronto 5-3 last night and stopped the Blue Jays' four-game winning streak. Kansas City is 2-0 since McRae's clubhouse tirade against reporters Monday night.
"Tonight we were shut down in the early part of the game but put together four runs in an inning and hung on to win," said center feeler Brian McRae. "The guys really battled out there."
Scott Brow lost in his major league debut, allowing four runs and five hits in six innings with two strikeouts and two walks.
He was recalled from Class AA Knoxville on Tuesday to replace the injured AI Leiter and was perfect before walking Wally Joyner with one out in the fourth.
Toronto went ahead in the first on Roberto Alomar's single, Paul Molitor's double and Joe Carter's sacrifice fly, but Kansas City scored four times in the fifth.
"That was a lot of fun," Brow said. "I can't wait to do it again."
Chris Gwyn singled for the Royals' first hit and scored on Jose Land's one-single. Singles by Greg Gagne and Brian McRae made it 2-0, and Gagne scored when McRae was caught in a botched rundown between first and second. Joyner followed with an RBI double.
