Jayhawks lose home opener
By Tom Erickson
Kansan sportswriter
Three runs in ninth inning not enough to slow down Wildcats
The homecoming wasn't pleasant for the Kansas baseball team yesterday.
The Jayhawks lost their home opener to Northwestern 5-3, lowering their record to 2-9 and extending their losing streak to four games.
The Wildcats improved their record to 5-2.
The last time Kansas lost a home opener was 1984, when the Jayhawks lost to Missouri Southern 12-10. The Jayhawks' first 10 games this season were played on the road.
Kansas ended a string of 18 consecutive scoreless innings with three runs in the bottom of the ninth inning. The Jayhawks scored their first run on a sacrifice fly by senior third baseman Brent Wilhelm. A two-out triple by senior catcher Brandon English scored two more runs, but a groundout by senior shortstop Dan Rude ended the game.
English said the Jayhawks had to improve every angle of their game to be successful.
"We've got a lot of things to work on," he said. "We can't wait until the ninth inning every night to get things going. We're just going to have to work on being consistent the whole game."
English hopes the team can get a little momentum from the ninth inning.
"Hopefully, we'll take it as something to build on," he said.
Kansas coach Dave Bingham was unset with the lack of offense.
"We've got to swing the bat a lot better," he said.
Northwestern junior pitcher B铀 Niedermaier (2-0) struck out 13 Kansas batters in 8 1/3 innings to earn the win. Northwestern junior pitcher Greg Ziesemer recorded the final two outs for his third save.
"I thought that their guy pitched very well," Bingham said. "He pitched behind a couple of his own mistakes real well."
Bingham was impressed with the performance of Niedermayer.
Kansas junior pitcher Jamie Splitter
(0-3) was tagged for 10 hats and

four runs in six innings on the
mound. The right-hander also
walked four. Splittorff had not
issued any walks in 20 1/3 innings
before yesterday's game.
Splittorff said he was upset with his pitching.
"It wasn't very good at all," he said. I didn't throw the ball very well, and we weren't able to overcome the deficit."
The Wildcats scored single runs off Splittorff in the first, third, fifth and sixth innings. Having the runs spread out did not make things any easier, Splittorff said.
"Ideally, if you're going to give up runs, you want to give them up one at a time," he said. "It was just a tough game. I threw very poorly."
Freshman pitcher Robert Keens pitched the final three innings. The right-hander allowed one run on two hits and struck out one.
Kansas and Northwestern play again at 3 p.m. tomorrow. Junior pitcher Clay Baird (1-2) is expected to start for the Jayhawks.
