Jayhawks pile up hits in non-conference win
The Kansas softball team (19-32 1-15) is preparing for the final week of the regular season.
The team is currently riding an eight-game conference losing streak, but it did have a shining moment last week as it had a season-high 14 hits in its 9-2 victory over Wichita State.
Kansas will have a doubleheader tonight in Des Moines before heading back to Arrocha Ballpark to finish the regular season against Iowa State.
In order to not be alone in last place,
Kansas will need to sweep Iowa State, the ninth place team, to drag them down to a tie for last place. Kansas will then travel to the Big 12 Conference Tournament to finish out the season.
With Senior Day looming on Saturday, the seniors said they haven't really thought about their careers almost being over and are just trying to focus on the games at hand to finish out the season strong.
