SOFTBALL
Softball team basks in the role of Big 12 underdog
BY HANNAH WISE hwise@kansan.com
Ten consecutive conference games. Nine losses. One victory. The softball team has been competing in arguably the most difficult conference in the nation. There are seven Big 12 teams ranked in the top 25. No 5 Texas, No 13 Missouri, No 14 Nebraska, No 15 Oklahoma, No 16 Baylor, No 18 Oklahoma State and No 19 Texas A&M. Texas Tech is right outside the Top 25, recieving 24 votes.
"I feel like being the underdog is actually what we want to do," freshman Kendra Cullum said. "It is definitely a privilege to be playing on the same field as those teams."
The jayhawks played and have lost to each of these ranked opponents except Texas A&M, whom they will face at the end of the
month. Kansas earned its only conference victory when it beat Texas Tech on April 13.
"This is good for us," coach Megan Smith said. "It is going to be very similar to what we see in conference."
Today, the layhawks are playing Tulsa, a non-conference opponent. Even so, Tulsa is a very competitive team, boasting a 33-11 record. Freshman pitcher Aimee Creger holds a 1.03 ERA with a 15-2 record. She has potential to shut down the Jayhawk offense.
The offense has been performing extremely well at times, but other times opposing pitchers have completely shut it down. Kansas has faced some of the top pitcher in the nation, including Texas' Blaire Luna. The offense has found ways in the past to fight back, but in the big picture has not been successful.
"We need to focus on each
individual pitch and not be overwhelmed by the seven innings" Smith said.
The team thinks that by refocusing on individual aspects of the game it will be successful against Tulsa. The Jayhawks are battling injuries, forcing them into lineup changes. That could be affecting the communication on the field.
Even with many changes in the past several weeks, the team has not stopped thriving as underdogs and that will not change today against Tulsa.
"Anything can happen on any given day," Cullum said. "A number is just a number. Softball is just a game and you have to play well to win it."
First pitches are scheduled for 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. at Arrocha Ballpark.
