No. 30 Kansas (6-4) managed six runs on six hits Saturday night against No. 9 San Diego, but couldn't keep up with the Toreros explosive offense, falling 17-6. It was the Jayhawks second loss in as many nights in the Public Storage Classic.
For the second night in a row, the Jay hawks took on a nationally-ranked team, and for the second night in a row, the Jay hawks lacked in both pitching and offense.
"It's obviously disappointing that we haven't competed and played better in the first two games, facing some of the top teams in the country," coach Ritch Price said.
Kyle Murphy was the first Jayhawk of the weekend to hit a home run. The junior centerfielder entered the game in the seventh inning to replace senior Matt Baty. Murphy followed a diving catch in the top of the eighth with a home run in the bottom half of the innings.
Senior shortstop Ritchie Price extended his hitting streak to nine games with a hit and an RBI.
The Jayhawks were able to rally the bats and put together a four-run fourth inning, but it wasn't enough. The Toreros scored in every inning except the first and eighth innings, and their lead-off batter got on with a hit in six of nine innings.
At the plate for San Diego, catcher Jordan Abruzzo blasted a two-run home run in the second and finished the day 3-4 with five RBI. Right fielder Shane
Buschini also tagged a two-run homer in the fourth. Buschini also hit 4-5, scored three times and drove in five.
Senior right-hander Ricky Fairchild (2-1) took the loss Saturday night, allowing seven runs in 4.1 innings pitched. Sophomore Matt Couch (2-0) threw 5.2 innings of relief, surrendering just two runs on two hits.
The San Diego game was a continuation of Friday night's loss to Southern California, as Kansas fell 10-1. Price's single in the ninth inning broke up a potential no-hitter for USC junior right-hander Ian Kennedy (2-1).
Trailing 10-0, Price stepped to the plate at the top of the ninth with two outs. Just an out away from the no-hitter, Kennedy surrendered a single. Senior first baseman Jared Schweitzer followed suit with another single. Senior Gus Miller doubled to score Price, the Jayhawks' only run of the night.
The trio was the only offense production for Kansas, being out hit 13-3.
Trojan third baseman Matt Cusick and left fielder Cyle Hankerd each swung for three hits apiece. Cusick tallied a pair of RBI, while Hankerd drove in three.
Junior lefty Sean Land (2-1) took the loss on the hill for Kansas. In 4.2 innings pitched, Land allowed six runs on seven hits and struck out iust one.
Kennedy, who was lifted immediately after Price's single, gave up one run on one hit and fanned 13.

As a result of the less-thanusual offensive production from Kansas, which has put up 17 runs twice already this season. Sunday's spotlight went to the closers.
Senior closer Don Czyz (1-0)
replaced Quick and went on to
throw 5.1 innings — the rest of
the game.
Czzy didn't give up a run and allowed only two Vanderbilt hits.
"You couldn't get two guys to pitch bigger for us with the weekend we had at stake." Price said.
Crowell lasted longer than Quick and gave up both tying runs after he came out with two on and no outs in the seventh inning.
Vanderbilt pitcher Ty Davis (0-1) entered the game for three-plus innings of relief. Davis didn't fare as well and allowed all three Jayhawk runs in the eleventh inning to record the loss for the Commodores.
Three walks and a hit was enough for Kansas to tie the game at two runs in the eighth. Junior center fielder Kyle Murphy led off the inning doubling to left field and eventually scored on a sacrifice fly by senior first baseman lared Schweitzer.
Schweitzer led the KU offense, going 3-for-5 with two RBI.
Murphy knocked in the winning run in an unconventional way.
The bases were loaded in the top of the eleventh inning. Murphy fouled out to left field, giving sophomore second baseman Ryne Price time to tag and score the winning run.
Senior shortstop Ritchie Price and Schweitzer both singled, knocking in the team's last two runs.
"It's a big win for us," Price said. "Kodiak Quick was outstanding. Don Czyz was outstanding. It was a great way to end the weekend."
