Jayhawks defense helps pound Gorillas
Kansas pitchers have thrown 22 scoreless innings
By Brady Prauser Kansan sportswriter
Entering yesterday's game against Pittsburg State, Kansas pitchers had not allowed a run in 13 innings.
Make it nine more.
Powered by a five-run, two-out scoring spree in the second inning, the Javahaws beat the Gorillas 7-0.
Senior Jimmy Walker pitched five innings for his first victory, striking out four and allowing four hits to improve Kansas' record to 7-3.
Freshman Clay Baird and senior David Soult appeared in relief to preserve the shutout. The three Kansas pitchers limited Pittsburgh to six hits during the afternoon and extended the Jawhays 'scoreless-inning streak to 22 over the last three games.
Walker, 1-1, made his first start since an opening-day loss to Grand Canyon. He said he was more relaxed yesterday than in his previous start.
Walker probably enjoyed Kansas' half of the second inning.
"I just tried to go out and have fun today," Walker said. "Everyone on the team did. I want to enjoy what everyone else does, and that's where a good performance comes from."
With two outs and two men on base,
sophomore third baseman Brent Wilhelm went ape on a 3-1 Gorilla pitch,
hitting it over the left-center field fence for a 3-0 Jayhawk lead. Sophomore shortstop Dan Rude then singled and later scored on senior second baseman Jeff Berlinger's double off the screen behind the center field fence.
Kansas senior first baseman John Wuycheck slides into third base against Pittsburgh State. Wuycheck had one hit, one RBI and two stolen bases in the Jay hawks' 7-6 victory yesterday.
Kansas 7, Pittsburg State 0
Senior designated hitter Kent Mahon increased Kansas' lead to 5-0 when he doubled to score Berbinger. However, Pittsburg State threatened to retaliate in the top of the third inning. With one out, the Gorillas

loaded the bases on two successive singles and a walk. But Pittsburgh State's B.J. Williams lined out to Kansas junior center fielder Darryl Monroe, who then fired to second base to catch a Gorilla runner off base for a double play to end the inning.
Walker landed Monroe and the rest of his teammates' performances.
They picked me up today." Walker said. "Later on, I'm going to pick them
up."
Kansas coach Dave Bingham had similar thoughts.
"It was a total team effort," Bingham said. "A lot of guys contributed today."
Kansas finished with seven hits by
as many players.
The Jayhawks completed the scoring in the seventh inning when senior catcher Jeff Niemier hit a double that scored one run, and senior first baseman John Wuycheck drove in the final run with a sacrifice飞.
Pittsburg State junior Denny Ferraro, 1-1, pitched seven innings for the loss.
1085. Bingham said he was pleased with Kansas' offensive production. He also had praise for Walker.
*That was an improved performance by Jimmy today." Bingham said. "He was less afraid of making mistakes."
Kansas plays host to Missouri Western today at 3 p.m. Junior left-hander David Meyer, 0-1, will start for the Jayhawks.

By David Dorsey
Kansas senior guards Rex Walters and Adonis Jordan and junior guard/forward Steve Woodberry received post-regular season honors yesterday when the Associated Press All-Big Eight men's basketball teams were announced.
Walters, who leads the Jayhawks with 14.2 points a game, made the first team and was the second leading vote getter behind Oklahoma State sophomore center Bryant Reeves.
With the exception of Reeves, the first two teams were dominated by guards. Nebraska junior Eric Piatkowski, Iowa State senior Justus Thigpen and Colorado sophomore Donnie Boyce round out the rest of the first team.
Jayhawks in scoring in two of their last three games. He scored a career-high 26 points last week against Nebraska.
Rex Walters
Woodberry, 6-foot-4 and 180 pounds, made the second team and was the only reserve to receive honors. Although he is not among the conference leaders in any of the statistical categories, he has led the
Kansas coach Roy Williams said that Wood-
berry was his team's most versatile player and called him the best 40-minute defensive player that he has coached at Kansas.
"I think he could and I think he should make the first team." Williams said yesterday before the teams were announced. "More important than if a guy starts or not is how many minutes he plays and what he does when he's out there."
Woodberry, fifth on the team with a 10.1 scoring average, is third in minutes played, third in steals.
"He just brings so much to our team." Williams said.
Jordan, who is fifth in the league in assists and ninth in steals, averages 11.7 points a game. He was one of 11 players to receive an honorable mention.

Williams said that his starting backcourt's scoring numbers might be down from last season, but that he still had the best backcourt in the conference.
Last season Walters and Jordan combined for 29 points a game. This season, they've combined for $^{26}$
Williams said his backcourt could not be blamed for not fulfilling expectations. Especially, he said, because the expectations were too high.
"Defensively, they are a heckuva lut better than last season," Williams said. "And when you add Woodberry, I'm not so sure you lose a list statically."
"in golf," Williams said, "a lot of people can go from a 20 handicap to a 10, but it's a heck of a lot tougher to go from a 10 to a zero. That what those guards had to do. Other guards started out at 20 and went to 10, and people are saying that they had a better year."
