But the fact is that every other team in the major leagues is better than Kansas City, and the final month and a half of the season could be just as frustrating as the previous three weeks for this inexperienced club. After rallying to win yesterday's series finale in Oakland 5-4 in 12 innings, the Royals headed home for three games against the Boston Red Sox before a trip to New York for three games. "Now we've got to wait another year to go on that losing streak," pitcher Jose Lima joked after Kansas City defeated the Athletics 2-1 Saturday to end the longest slide in 17 years. The Royals stopped their streak two shy of the American League record, and also snapped a 12-game road losing streak that tied the franchise single-season mark. Everyone involved hopes they can now relax ever so slightly. "A lot of guys just smile now," said first baseman Matt Stairs, who contributed an RBI groundout Saturday against his former team. "Guys are not going to be sitting around moping and pressing anymore. It's just nice. It's not the turning point of the season, but it's nice to get the media off our back and not be the highlights on SportsCenter whenever anybody falls down." The Royals' skid was the longest since Baltimore lost an AL-record 21 in a row at the start of the 1988 season. The major league mark since 1900 is 23 straight losses by the Philadelphia Phillies in 1961. Kansas City was forced to keep things in perspective as manager Buddy Bell dealt with the death of his nephew, Lance Cpl. Tim Bell Jr., a Marine killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq earlier this month. Senior middle blocker Josi Lima set the pace individually with four. The 2005 team also racked up 18 aces against the alumni team. CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10A bad 10 blocks. Alumni Despite their victory, the Jayhawks showed room for improvement. They countered the aces with 21 service errors. Bechard said the errors were something the team needed to correct before next weekend's season opener against Alabama. "That is something that jumps out at you," Bechard said. "That's just unacceptable." Bechard said Kansas should not get used to having so many aces during regular season games. "When we play a team that is more organized, they're not going to give up that many," he said. Bechard was not exclusively gloomy after the match ended, though. The game presented numerous opportunities for players who did not see significant action. Freshman Kristin Buehler, who took a redshirt last year, had seven kills in just one game, and Megan Hill was impressive in the time she spent on the court. Those players were able to show off the skills that they bring to the team. Freshman middle blocker Savannah Noyes, who is fighting for a starting spot, had an efficient night. She tallied 11 kills at a 562 clip, which led the team. Senior and fellow middle blocker Josi Lima said Noyes was ready to step in and contribute right away. "Savannah is going to be great," Lima said. "She is going to help us a lot. She's a very good player." Lima said the Jayhawks needed to fine-tune some things before the season started. She said the communication on the court was lacking,but it was something that could be fixed. "We are getting there," Lima said. "It's just the little things that we have to work on in practice." —Edited by Katie Lohrenz Justin O'Neal/KANSAN Jane Correa, junior outside hitter, spikes the ball past KU alumni defenders during an exhibition game Saturday.
