Page 10 University Daily Kansan, April 13, 1982 Kansas softball team splits double-header By TOM COOK Sports Writer For the KU women's softball team, the double-header yesterday at Columbia with the Missouri Tigers was both a sweet dream and a nightmare. Rhonda Clarke pitched her third-no-hitter of the season in the first game as the Jayhawks won, 4-0. However, Missouri came back in the nightcap to dish out their own shutout medicine, 4-0. The split gave Kansas a 25-ounce record. The Jahaways also swept Kansas State, 1-0 and 4-1, Friday before winning two games from Oklahoma City by forift CLARKE WAS brilliant in the opener against the Tigers. She tossed her 18th shutout of the season while striking out 11 batters and not giving up a walk. Cindy Tate, 3-3, took the loss for Missouri. The Jayhawks plated three runs in the fourth inning and added an insurance tally in the fifth. Tammy Hoffman led off the fourth with a single and went to third on a single by Clarke. Baker Hoffman scored the first run on Becky Ascendon's single, then followed second record when Tiger center fielder Chris Blokom displayed a fly ball. Gusty conditions played havoc with the fielders, said Missouri Head Coach Barb Priest. "It was really windy," said Priest. "It bothered all of the players, and quite a few balls were dropped that normally would have been caught." THE JAYHAWKS' run in the fifth was scored by Pam Cox. She tripped and scored on an error by the pitcher. Missouri jumped on Kansas for six in the second game. Clarke suffered the loss as her record fell to 21-7. He walked and wailed for four batters. "Kansas handled us in the first game," said Priest. "Clarke is a very, very good pitcher and she pitched a smart game. "But we got our timing down in the second game and got used to what she was throwing. Anytime you throw a pitcher in back-to-back games, the other team can begin to expect what she will throw. "We just figured her out." The TIGERS scored all four of their runs in the fourth inning. Liss Burke led off the inning with a single and moved to third, scoring on Manege. Manegue was safe at first. Burke scored on a single by Bullock, and Manegre came around to score on the same play when Cox booted the ball in center field. Pattie Crowe's single scored Bullock, on the plate on the base by laurie Kulcek. Teresa Wilson checked the Jayhawks on four hits, upping her record to 9-5. Ascencio had two singles for KU, and Clarke and Cobb each stroked one hit. "TERESA THROWS more off-speed pitches than Cindy does," said Priest. "Having a different pitcher in the second game definitely helped us defensively. And the best thing to do for a pitcher is to give her a cushion." In Friday's double-header, it took 10 innings before the Jayhawks pulled on the slim victory. Shelly Fox ripped a double down the left field line to score Liz Commmo, who had singled and stole second. The Wildcats got seven hits off of the counterattack by 18 strikeforce on a walkoff performance. Hoffman had two of the Jayhawks' five hits, and Craft had the other. IN THE SECOND game against K-State, Kansas got on the scoreboard earlier en route to victory. Ascencio scored, owing a walk, and Commino scored on a sacrifice fly by Fox in the second Cobb's RBI in the fourth with the bases loaded scored Clarke. Craft tallied the final run in the fifth on a fielder's choice by Ascencio. "We had problems scoring runs in the first game," said KU Head Coach Bob Stanciflut. "But we got going in the last part of the game, and our bats came alive." The Jayhawks have been without the services of All-Big Eight shortstop Sue Sherman, who reinjured her right knee in southwest Missouri State Invitational. Shawn Myrtle, utility infielder, also is out with a bad ankle. Stancifl said he hoped to have both players back in time from the amputation, April 23-28 at Norman, Okla. JAYHAWK NOTES: KU Head Coach BOB STANCILE has announced the signing of two players to national softball letters-of-intent. ERIN HANNAGAN, Topeka, and DEBIE RANDEL, Baldwin, will have a chance to step into the starting rotation next year. Hannagan, a first baseman, attends Seaman High School, which does not have a softball program. However, she has played in the American Softball League recently and is recently for the Topeka Amazons and the Team Sporting Goods Hit and Run. Randel drew high praise from Stanclift. "She tested out as one of the best all-around athletes we've ever seen," he said. "Her speed, strength and arm will us tremendously in the outfield." Javhawks win two.close on leaders By MIKE ARDIS Sports Writer After yesterday's sweep of Iowa State, the Kansas baseball team has a chance to move into first place in the NCAA Championship and they can sweep Iowa State again today.

KU FELL behind in the opener in the third inning when in town State got a run on a double and a single. KU tipped it up when he when Joe Heeney scored the hard way. ISU got two in the fifth before KU took the lead on three runs in the sixth. LeWallen walked, Heeney singled and both moved up a base on Mark Danker's balk. Phil Dohert tripped to score Heeney and LeWallen, and Kent scored in winning run with a sacrifice to her. In the second game, Mike Watt pitched his first complete game at KU to raise his record to 1-2. In Watt's last 15 innings covering 3 games, he has only allowed two earned runs. His ERA lowered 4.62 with the two-run, six-hit pitch. "VEEN BEEN throwing the ball good the last few times," he said. "There were also several good plays behind me. several good plays. McIntosh said the defensive play also helped his pitching. "The turning point of the game was when Dick Lewallen made a sheeost catch in center in the sevent. We had a very hard moment that made the difference in the game." In the second game, the 'Hawks got five runs in the first and seventh. In the first, KU sent 10 men to the plate. Jim Heeney had the big hit in the first with a two-run single with the bases loaded. The Cyclones got one run back in the first and got their other run in the second. They were better.

Joe Heeney had a two-run triple in the inning and went 4 for 6 in the double-breaker. Dick Lewallen had a good day at the plate, going 4 for 8. The Cyclone pitchers also helped the Jayhawks in scoring in the seventh, three Iowa State pitchers combined to walk five straight KU batters to score two runs. Overall, they walked 14 Jayhawk batters. The Jayhawks also showed some of the speed that they were expected to revel in.
