Niemieler, who batted in six runs during the three-game series last weekend, broke the Kansas career RBI record of 128 on Sunday. Catcher gives coach record-breaking play after leaving bench Kansas baseball coach Dave Bingham, sitting in his hotel room after a loss to Minnesota in March 1991, heard a knock at the door. In walked Jeff Niemier, then a sophomore outfielder who wasn't playing much. Niemier wanted to talk. First National "He said, 'Coach, I want to be the guy you put to the plate to drive in runs,' " Bingham said. By Brady Prauser "There was some pressure on me, but I wanted it," Niemeier said. "I was tired of sitting the bench." Bingham, whose team at that point had lost four of its past five games, decided to give Niemeyer a shot, starting him at left field and first base for the last two games with Minnesota. "He had several hits and drove in three or four runs for us," Bingham said. "The story is told after that." Niemeyer never looked back, hitting safely in 23 of the next 24 games, becoming the starting first baseman and batting in 68 runs that season. His RBI total shattered former All-American Matt Gundelfinger's single-season Kansas record of 50 set in 1980. Kansan sportswriter Niemeyer also led the Jayhawks with a .379 batting average, nine home runs and 18 doubles, earning All-Big Eight Conference honors in 1991. As the starting Jayhawk catcher for the past two seasons, Niemeyer reflected on his 1991 conversation in Minnesota with Bingham. He said Bingham told him to show what he could do on the field. Carol Wirthman, President and Student Loan Officer Sunday, Niemeyer made Grand View College pitchers tired and added another chapter to his story by breaking former Kansas outfielder Brian Gray's school record of 128 career RBI. Niemeier had three singles, a double, two home runs and six RBI in the three-game series.

"That brings out the best in me," Niemeyer said. "If you are any kind of competitor at all, you love to see a gny out there on second base when you're at the plate." "Those guys, along with the rest of my teammates, are the reason I don't get too excited about the records because they deserve most of the credit," Niemeyer said. But Niemeier does find excitement from his teammates, particularly the other six seniors. "Those guys are my best friends," he said. "We've been through a lot of sweat and blood together. We want to take the program to the next level, and we aren't going to sell ourselves short." When the Jayhawks are on base, Niemeyer's eyes light up.
