Sports University Daily Kansan / Monday, September 25, 1989 9 KC beats Seattle in last home game By Paula Parrish Kansan sportswriter KANSAS CTYM, Mo. — Bo Jackson provided the Royals with some offense for the first time in three games and led them to a 4-1 finish over the Seattle Mariners in yesterday's final home game. Kansas City's comeback victory, following two back-to-back shutouts by the Mariners, came early in the afternoon and was started by Jackson, who went one for four for the day, but, as one might expect, made that one count. In the bottom of the first, with one out and two on, Jackson tripled into far right file, driving in Brett and Stillwell from first and second. Eisenreich then singled to short score, scoring with Jackson from third. Kansas City left the inning ahead 3-0. Jackson's two RBIs left him just one short of becoming the 13th player in Royals history to post 100 RBIs in a season. Neither team scored again until the bottom of the fourth. With two out and Stillwell on second from a steal, Britt singled toward first. He made it to second when Marien broke out with a strike committed an error, letting the ball into right field, that made Stillwell score. The Mariners' only run of the ball game came in the top of the sixth. Harold Reynolds tripled to center and was driven home two outs later by a shallow single to right field by designated hitter Jeffrey Leonard. Center fielder Ken Griffey, Jr. finished the Mariners chances for the inning by striking out. Yesterday's victory tied the four-game series with the Mariners at 2-2. Steve Farr, 2-5, in his first start for the Royals this year, pitched for six innings, gave up five hits, run and netted five strikeouts. Manager John Wathen decided earlier this week to bring in Farr, usually a middle reliever, to allow Mark Gubblez some more time off.

"In the outing the other night, I know that there were a lot of people probably second-guessing and wondering how you can start Steve Farr, but I didn't back away from it because I know what he do." "What I was trying to do too... to go five or six innings with a lead and end up our last game of the year here with a win," Farr said. "That's what I was trying to do today and it worked out." Farr was pleased with his first start of the year. Wathan said he may use Farr this weekend against Oakland, depending upon Gubica's condition.

'Hawks defeated on first road trip Baylor beats Kansas at home 46-3 By Gene King Kansan sportswriter Kansas football coach Glen Mason said a few days before the game against Baylor that if his team couldn't come up with a big play, it would be a long night. They didn't, and it was a ton of night, and the Jayhawks were defeated Saturday in Waco, Texas, 46-3. On the road for the first time this season, the Jayhawks were playing to average a 27-14 loss to Baylor in an upset. The Hawks had led that game at the half 14.3. In their three previous games, the big play was crucial for the Jayhawks. Kansas scored on plays of 77 yards, 71 yards and 41 yards. The longest play for Kansas in Saturday's game was a 34-yard run by running back Tony Sands during the second quarter. The Bears, however, posted 467 yards of total offense, rushing 313 yards and passing 154. Quarterback Kelly Donohoe threw 7 yards, completing three passes in 13 attempts, and was intercepted twice. One interception was run and made a Baylor touchdown, and the other set up a 7-vard touchdown run. "They were definitely ready to play." Mason said of the opposition. The game was played in a 20-plus mph wind with gusts up to 40 mph that stifled the aerial attack often used by Kansas in its earlier games. Donohoe was replaced in the fourth quarter by redshirt freshman Ron Page, whose only pass was intercepted. As it has done in the past, the young kansas defense stiffened an opposing In addition to poor passing, the running game was almost stagnant. Kansas rushed only 122 yards. On its first drive of the game, Baylor was stopped on fourth-and- goal on the 1. Kansas then took over on downs but didn't gain on three plays and was forced to punt from its own end zone. Punter B.J. Lohsen's kick was blocked out of the end zone for a safety and the first score of the game, making it 2-0. The Bears took the ensuing free kick and drove eight plays. The Kansas defense again stood tough and stopped Baylor on a third-and-goal from the 6, forcing a 26-yard field goal. With 2:55 remaining in the first quarter, Kansas was down only 5-0, escaping a possible 14-point deficit. In the second quarter, the Bears scored two more times. Running back Eldwin Raphel ran 19 yards for a touchdown just after the start of the second quarter. The try for the two-point conversion failed when quarterback Brad Goebel threw incomplete into the end zone. On fourth-and-goal at the 7, place-kicker Bader Fleahem kicked a 24-yard field goal for the Jayhawks' score of the game, making it 11-3. That was the final scoring for Kansas, but Baylor was just getting started. The next score for the Bears came after the second of Donohoe's missed passes. The half ended with Baylor leading 18-3. Leading the Baylor defense was linebacker James Francis with five tackles, one for a loss. "He would be a top-notch player anywhere," Mason said. Besides losing the game decisively, the Jayhawks lost the strength of strong safety Deral Boykin in the fourth quarter. His broken ankle and may not play in Saturday's game against Oklahoma. "He is a tough guy," Mason said after the game. "He is in the locker room right now in pain." The game took two hours and 50 minutes to play, which was probably two hours and 50 minutes too long for Mason. Jayhawks strike out Coffeyville "It was definitely a long night," Mason said.

Kansan sportswriter About 100 people gathered to watch the first game of the fall baseball season. The Ravens committed several errors, and the Jayhawks dominated with excellent hitting and pitching. "I was real pleased with our team." Coach Dave Bingham said. "We were confident. We thought that would be a team we could handle. "But we weren't really concerned with winning or losing. We really wanted to see lots of kids play and get some experience." Bingham used two different teams in the doubleheader, allowing 20 players, mostly underclassmen, to get some plaving time. The Ravens opened up the first game with one run in the first inning, but Kansas answered with four runs and never struggled throughout the game. It was 7-1 in the fifth inning when pitcher Brad Hinkle struck out two batters and threw another out at first base. The Jayhawks' Jeff Spencer added another run when he hit a 350-foot home run into left field. Coffeyville scored a second run in the sixth, but Kansas wouldn't let up. Steve Renko stole home when the Coffeyville catcher misplayed the ball, and Gerry Camara singled in Mike Bard, making the score 10-2. The seventh inning was scoreless for both teams, but the Jayhawks came alive again in the eighth, scoring four runs. Renko doubled and later scored when the center fielder dropped the ball. Kevin Marozas and Pat Karlin both singled and were able to come home as Kansas continued to hit well. Denard Stewart singled in Camara, making it 14-2. The Ravens scored again in the ninth, but it wasn't nearly enough to catch up. Craig Stoppel struck out three of four Coffeyville batters. Starting pitcher Renko, 1-0, got the victory.
