John Nelson, Jayhawk third baseman, gets the first of his two hits in the first game of Thursday's doubleheader with Oklahoma at Quigley Field. Nelson scored two of the Jayhawks' three runs in KU's 3-2 first game victory. The Jayhawks lost the nightcap 3-1. Kansas closes out the season with a single game at 1 p.m. today.
Baseball team splits twin bill with OU
KU's baseball team opened its last series of the season Thursday by winning one game and losing another to Oklahoma at Quigley Field. The Jayhawks won the first game 3-2 and the Sooners took the second 3-1.
In the first game, Bill Maddux came on in relief of tiring Dick Slicker in the seventh inning to save the victory. When Maddux came in the winning run was at second with one out and the heart of the OU batting order coming to the plate.
He retired the first man on a pop fly, then walked a man and retired the final batter leaving runners on first and second.
KU had tied the score in the third inning at 1-1. John Nelson singled, and Gary Ascanio hit a bloop single over the shortstop's head, moving Nelson to third. He scored on a sacrifice fly to left field by Junior Riggins.
In the fifth, KU took over the lead when Nelson singled to lead off a two-run rally. Ascanio then hit a fly to left, which the left-fielder, trying for a shoe-string catch, let get by him for a triple. Ascanio scored on a single by Riggins.
OU got one run in the top of the seventh before Maddux came in to preserve the victory.
On the way to his second victory of the season against four losses, Slicker struck out the side in the second and retired the side in order in the fifth. He was in trouble the rest of the way leaving two men on base four times.
KU for Rocky meets
KU for Rockefeller will hold a meeting 2 p.m. Sunday in the Kansas Union Forum Room. A speaker from the statewide Rockefeller organization will speak and plans will be made for campaigning during the summer.
In the second game, OU started fast getting two unearned runs in the first inning. Bob Tate reached base on an infield error, then Dick Turner singled. An infield hit by Gary Brooks loaded the bases and Doug Folger followed with a two-run double.
In the second, OU scored again when Scott Harrington singled, stole second and scored on a single by Tate.
After this shaky start, Jayhawk pitcher Randy Stroup pitched great ball retiring 16 of the next 19 batters he faced, including nine in a row.
Kansas could manage only three singles off Oklahoma in the second game.
KU is now 5-12 in Big Eight play and 7-9 overall. OU is 9-8 in Big Eight action and 12-14 overall.
