Doubleheader sweep keeps 'Hawks on roll
By Matt Doyle
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas softball team is peaking at the right time of the season.
Kansas won its eighth consecutive game yesterday by sweeping a doubleheader from Creighton. The Jayhawks won game one 2-0, and shut out the Lady Jays 1-0 in game two.
"If you have to say one thing, it's that we are peaking at the right time of the season," said Kansas coach Kalum Haack. "I was really happy. The girls are playing really, well."
The No. 13 Jayhawks improved to 24-8-1 on the season.
Junior pitcher Stephani Williams continued her longer pitching on the $eason with complete game victories against Creighton.
"That is the best Williams has pitched in a long time," Haack said. "She threw two real good ballgames today."
Williams shut out the Lady Jays on five hits with five strikeouts and one walk. In game two she allowed only two and had four strikeouts and one walk.
- Her record improved to 22-4 on the season, and she has allowed only three runs in her last 48 innings.
Senior catcher Erin Wahaws provided the offensive spark for the Jayhawks by going three-for-six in the doubleheader. She drove in the lone
Kansas run in game two with a single that scored senior Shanna Cole from second base.
"I'm focusing real well on the ball, trying to see it and make contact," Wahaus said. "Everything is just falling right for me."
Everything has been falling right for Wahuna lately. Wahuna, the Big Eight Player of the Week, has 18 hits in her last 24 at bats.
"She's on fire," Haack said of Wahua. "Canille (Malplaster) never had a streak like she is having now. Eighthousen for 24 hours and level is tough."
Spitalier was a three-time All-American for Kansas from 1990 to 1992.
The Jahawks are going to have to continue to play tough this weekend when No 4 Oklahoma State comes to Lawrence for a showdown between the top two teams in the Big Eight Conference.
Kansas 1, Creighton 0
CREIGHTON
Kansas is 10-2 in conference play, and Oklahoma State is 9-1 in the Big Fight.
Wahaus said that the Jayhawks must continue their winning ways if they want to make it to the NCAA

"We're playing our best ball right now, and hopefully we can continue that this weekend," she said. "This is the biggest weekend of the season because if we don't do well, we are still not guaranteed a spot in the regional."
Royals win third in a row edge Jays 6-5
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Greg Gagne streaked home from second base on Kevin McReynolds' infield single with two outs in the ninth inning, and the Kansas City Royals beat the Toronto Blue Jays 6-5 last night for their third consecutive victory.
The Associated Press
Gague opened the inning with a single off Mike Timlin, 0-1, and stole second. George Brett was intentionally walked with two outs.
McReynolds hit a grounder up the mid-lemond and Luis Sojo, making his first start of the season at shortstop, stopped the ball behind second. Sojo's throw to first base was high and Gagne never broke stride, home and scoring ahead of the throw.
The Royals tied 1-5 in the eighth when Wally Joyner led off with a double, was sacrificed to third by Brent Mayne and scored on Keith Miller's single against
Toronto's Jack Morris gave up four runs on eight hits in six innings, and his record remained 0-3.
Sojo doubled home Pat Borders with two outs in the sixth, giving Toronto a 5-1 lead.
Royals starter Mark Gubicza gave up five runs, three of them coming in the fourth inning after his throwing error.
Jeff Montgomery, 1-0, pitched one hit less inning for the victory.
