"I can't look on it as a bad day," Spett-swood said. "There wasn't really any pressure on me to get a hit. I was just having fun out there, with the string."
KU's pitching also was strong, especially in the second game. Yesterday's games were the first shutouts of the season for the leading staff, which gave up only one hit in each game. The first pitcher on the first game, was a little wild, allowing seven walks and two wild pitches, but he
gave up only one hit before being replaced in the sixth by Terry Sutcliffe.
Kevin Kerasen handed one hit and three walks in the second game. He was replaced with Lance Stephens.
"I got some strikes across today," Kerschen said, "but I was a little scared in the fourth when the score was 0-4. I knew I was going to lose, but I did not want to go out without the lead."

Sports Writer
the unveiling of the women's track team's 1979 outdoor season will take place Friday and Saturday when they compete in Memphis Invitational in Memphis, Teen.
The track team ended its indoor season successfully by placing third at the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women track meet earlier this month in Columbia, Mo. and is looking forward to the beginning of outdoor competition.
"The team is getting a little tired of practicing against each other," head coach Teri Anderson said. "We're eager to learn and think we have a good chance to win the meet."
Anderson said she thought the team this year was better than last year because of an improvement.
"LAST YEAR we had about eight really good people," she said. "This year we doubled it to 16 and we're a more balanced team. As the season goes on and we get more experience, we should really improve."
The importance of the opening meet is getting experience against good competition and starting a base for the rest of the outdoor season, Anderson said.
In the Memphis meet, Anderson said she expects stronger competition for KU.

"We are starting at an entirely different place this year." Don Rose, crew coach, said. "Of course, we will also be roaring on a different level, the variability level, this year."
