Baseball team to host Tigers
KU's baseball team will be seeking its second league victory and trying for two more this weekend in a three game series with the Missouri Tigers.
The Jayhawks and the Tigers will play a doubleheader this afternoon and then meet in a single game Saturday.
So far this season, KU has a 1-5 Big Eight record and is 6-7 overall. The Jayhawks have lost three league games to Nebraska and two to Kansas State. Their lone victory was over Kansas State in the first game of last Saturday's doubleheader with the Wildcats.
IN THE FIRST seven games, KU got off to a good start by winning five, but then bogged down when the league season began. The first seven games were played on a road trip to San Antonio, Tex., against some of the better teams in the Southwest including Texas Lutheran University and Sam Houston State College. The Jayhawks defeated both of these teams.
The probable starting lineup
for KU against Missouri this weekend is: Bob Evilsizer, second base; Bill Fenton, third base; Bob Skahan, centerfield; Jim Shanks, first base; John Adams, catcher; Gary Ascanio, leftfield; Ron Wallace, rightfield, and Steve Walsh, shortstop. Jayhawk pitchers in the series will probably be Fred Chana, Sandy Buda, and Tom Bishard.
Missouri coach John "Hi" Simmons will probably start Ron Cummins, first base; Bob Robben, second base; Tom Seal, shortstop; Roger Lindstrom, third base; Ray Thorpe, leftfield; Gene Stephenson, rightfield; Bill Griffin, centerfield; and Al Chettle, catcher. The top Tiger pitchers are Orville Hollrain and Terry L'Ange.
Last year, Missouri was the Big Eight baseball champion and the Tigers are strong favorites to win the crown again this season.
