Baseballers meet top team
Kansas' baseball team, victimized by on-again, off-again pitching performances backed by light hitting, heads to Stillwater this weekend for a three-game series with league-leading Oklahoma State.
The Jayhawks, lodged in a seventh place 2-7 conference tie with Colorado, will attempt to snap a three-game losing streak by sending its hard-luck hurlers against the Cowboys. The teams play a doubleheader Friday and a single game Saturday.
Coach Floyd Temple said he will start righthanders Bill Maddux (2-1), and Randy Stroup (0-5) and southpaw Richard Slicker (1-2). Against Iowa State the past weekend, both Maddux and Slicker were coasting on comfortable leads until faltering in the late innings.
Maddux, the team's strikeout leader with 47 in $34\%$ innings, was working on a no-hitter before issuing three successive fifth inning walks that lead to a five-run explosion.
Slicker had allowed only one hit thru eight innings and extended his scoreless streak to 22 innings, but the Cyclones tied the game with a four-run ninth and won in extra innings without the ball leaving the infield.
Stroup has kept his earned run average near the 2.50 mark all season but the Jayhawks have scored a total of six runs in each of his five starts. In the past 10 games, the opponents have out-scored Kansas 49-25.
On the other hand, Junior Riggins and Randy Cordill continue to wield hot bats. Hitting a lusty .365 on 23 hits in 63 appearances, Riggins has scored 13 runs and knocked in 10. Cordill has 18 hits in 55 trips for a .327 average including 13 runs batted in.
A recent surprise to the Jayhawks has been the streaky hitting of catcher Cole Stimson, who boosted his average 45 points by banging out five hits against Iowa State.
Temple listed the following lineup for the Cowboy series:
