The Kansas tennis team advanced past the first round of the Big 12 Tournament for the first time in five years this weekend. The Jayhawks beat Iowa State for the second time in a week when the teams met in Norman, Okla. Kansas' season ended with
Two weeks ago, Kansas was 0-7 in the Big 12 with only two games left in the regular season. The team won both games and kept the momentum going long enough to do something that no player on this team had been a part of: ISU.
Doubles play had been the barometer for the jayhawks success
as the team entered the Big 12 Tournament. Nothing changed Thursday as Kansas won two of the three doubles matches. The Kansas duo of senior Victoria Khanevskaya and freshman Anastasija Trubica was able to get a win on senior night against ISU, as well as on

Thursday, to help Khanevskaya extend her season.
Los and freshman Maria Jose Cardona were both on two-match winning streaks heading into the Big 12 Tournament, but Los was unable to extend her streak on Thursday. Cardona, however, was able to get the win to add to her already productive freshman season.

Friday's match started on an odd note when singles play began first because of inclement weather in the forecast for later in the day. Kansas usually uses doubles play to get the momentum going early in matches, so having to jump right into singles play might have been a contributing factor in the loss.
The win on Thursday propelled the jayhaws into a match with No. 1 seed Baylor. Unfortunately for Kansas, no streaks were extended or started on Friday. Baylor won 4-0 to end the spring season for Kansas.
The layhawks ended on a positive note by earning a win on senior night and advancing to the quarterfinals of the Big 12 Tournament. Finishing the spring season with a record of 11-10 overall and 2-7 in conference play is a little discouraging after being nationally ranked for part of the season, but with the freshmen on the team playing at a high level, next year's expectations are mounting.

Pirates defeat Cardinals take lead in NL Central
ST. LOUIS — Rookie Jeff Locke pitched seven innings of three-hit ball and Russell Martin had two of Pittsburgh's four home runs in a 9-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday that gave the Pirates a series win and the NL Central lead.
Jones had three hits and John McDonald added an RBI double for Pittsburgh, which ended rookie Shelby Miller's streak
of 14 scoreless innings at home to start the season. The Pirates have won nine of 12 overall, leapfrogging St. Louis for first place.
shoutup, tied for the league lead with St. Louis and San Francisco. All of them have been collaborations.
Locke (3-1) has worked 13 scoreless innings while allowing five hits his last two starts. The Cardinals got just three singles and advanced two runners into scoring position against the 25-year-old left-hander, who earned the fifth spot in the rotation with a strong spring.
Miller (3-2) struggled to put away hitters and was taken out after 113 pitches and giving up two homers in 5 2-3 innings. He struck out seven, one off his season best, and was charged with three runs after John McDonald greeted Fernando Salas with a bloop RBI double.

Martin hit his fourth homer with a 412-foot drive to straightaway center in the second. He doubled off the right-field fence in the fourth for his fourth straight extra-base hit, two of them homers, then added a two-run shot to cap a five-run ninth.

Celtics avoid a sweep, force fifth game in New York
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON — Jason Terry's nose still hurt; he wasn't about to let his pride suffer as well.
Two days after being smacked by J.R. Smith's elbow, the guard the Boston Celtics count on for his shooting scored their last nine points and kept their season going.
The NBA suspended Smith for the game; the Knicks could have used his shooting. Carmelo Anthony scored 36 points, and Raymond Felton picked up the slack with 27, but New York made just 28.9 percent of its shots in the first half as Boston took a 54-35 lead.
"It wasn't really the elbow," he said. "It was more (like) this is it. I mean, the season's over. You can leave it all out here tonight and go home for a long summer, or you can live to play another day."
"J.R. is a big piece of what we do, but he wasn't here," Knicks coach Mike Woodson said. "I'm not using that as an excuse."
The Celtics beat the Knicks 97-90 in overtime Sunday to avoid a first-round sweep and force a fifth game in New York on Wednesday. Avoiding elimination provided all the motivation Terry needed.
New York had tied the game 84-84 after trailing by 20 points early in the third quarter. It was 88-all before the Celtics regained control and took the lead for good on a 3-pointer by Terry. Anthony hit a short jumper, but Terry connected on a 15-footer with 50 seconds remaining on a 93-90 lead.
After Anthony, who shot 10 for 35 for the game, missed a 3-pointer with 21 seconds to go. Terry was fouled by Steve Novak and made both free throws. He added a layup to close out the game.
But the Celtics still have a huge deficit in trying to become the first team to win after trailing a series 3-0 in the NBA playoffs. The Knicks are trying to win their first playoff series in 13 years.
"We have to be confident going back home," Anthony said. "We were confident here today."
Paul Pierce led the Celtics with 29 points, Jeff Green added 26 and Terry finished with 18.
"This is the first time that we really came out with fire in our eyes," Terry said. "Every game from here on is Game 7 for us."
