By JOE CHILDS

Corky Ullom drove in the winning run and pitched 4 1/3 innings of sparkling relief yesterday as KU defeated the College of Emporia 6-5 to move above the .500 mark for the first time in two weeks.
The freshman southpaw came on after two were out in the fifth frame and with a runner at second got left fielder Dale Fowler to tap to the second baseman. He then finished the game giving up one run on just two hits, striking out five and walking one.
In the bottom of the seventh, Ullom became the Jayhawks offensive hero. With the score tied 4-4, first sacker John Riggins opened the inning by reaching first base on an error. He stole second and scored the go-ahead run on Snelgrove's booming triple to right center. Then with two out the left-handed hitting pitcher poked one through the left side of the infield and into left field to score Snelgrove from third.
Roaring right back in the top of the eighth with a single and a triple the Presbies mounted a threat, but their hopes were smothered when Rich Coleman ended the inning on a line shot to John Nelson in right.
KU batters worked five C of E pitchers for eight hits and six walks, as the blue pinstriped uniforms frequented the basepaths offering numerous chances to break the game open.
