Gamenotes
Kansas improves its Border Showdown record to 4-0 at Kauffman Stadium.
Junior Zac Elgie added two hits to his season tally, raising his batting average to .292. His first inning double scored senior Jimmy Waters and put the Jayhawks on the board first.
Junior catcher James Stanfield extended his hit streak to eight games with a third inning single. He called an impressive game behind the plate as the pitching staff allowed one hit and one earned run.
The pitching staff allowed just one hit, the first single hit game by an opponent since 2008.
Quote of the night
Coach Ritch Price
Price
"We do that on purpose. We try to pitch the kids that have been Royals fans their whole lives, that are from the area, that live and dream of pitching here someday."
—Coach Price on choosing his starting pitcher for games at Kauffman Stadium.

Key inning
Two hits led to three runs as the Jayhawks were able to take a 3-1 lead in the second at Kauffman Stadium. Kaiana Eldredge's two run single that squeaked through the infield scored both second-inning runs and the Jayhawks never looked back.
Stat of the night
