Jayhawks swept by Longhorns
AUSTIN, Texas — After eking out two close victories on Friday and Saturday, No. 6 Texas flexed its offensive muscle against Kansas on Sunday.
The Longhorns blasted the Jayhawks 10-4 in the series finale in Austin to sweep the three-game set.
After Kansas tied the game 1-1 in the top of the third, Texas wasted little breaking the game open. What initially appeared to be another pitcher's duel in the making turned into a slugfest, as the Longhorns exploded for a six-run third inning against senior Brett Bollman.
After Bollman had retired the first two batters in the frame, Texas pieced together five hits — capped off by a grand slam by Kevin Lusson — giving it a commanding 7-1 lead.
Kansas fought back with its best offensive showing of the weekend, chipping away for four runs on eight hits, including a solo home run by Tony Thompson in the sixth.
Texas tacked on two more runs to extend its lead, but with the way its pitchers were throwing, they didn't need the additional runs.
The defict proved too much to overcome for Kansas, despite six different players tallying a hit, including two apiece from sophomore catcher James Stanfield and junior shortstop Brandon Macias.
Ben Ward Senior second baseman Robby Price catches a popup in the game against Arkansas-Little Rock at Hoglund Ballpark on Tuesday, March 30. Price went two for three with two RBI.
