The Wichita State Shockers equaled 21 hits with 21 runs last night in Hoglund-Maupin Stadium. The Kansas baseball team committed four errors and gave up five home runs.
The 15th-ranked Shockers beat the Jayhawks 21-7. The game gave Kansas its worst losing score of the season, added to a six-game losing streak and dropped the team's record to 16-19.
Wichita State improved its record to 25-7.
"We have to learn to play with adversity," said Kansas coach Dave Bingham.
"The way we reacted to the three-
run home run was the key," Bingham said. "The good teams get better from adversity. The bad teams just roll over and die. That's what we did. We need to learn to play through the tough times in a game."
first baseman Mike McDonald hit two of the Shockers' five home runs, collecting four RBI. McDonald hit the three-run shot in the seventh inning. The Shockers scored nine runs in that inning.
At first, Kansas appeared to be in the same form as they were in last week's 10-1 upset against the Shockers, taking a 5-3 lead into the fifth iming.

"Every time we go out, we feel we're going to win," said senior Rocky Helm. "This team is really good. I just don't know what's going on right now."
Sopromore Steve Renko, 0-2, got the loss, pitching in relief of starter Brad Hinkle. Hinkle allowed five earned runs in five innings. Renko allowed five runs in one inning.
Junior Craig Houfek and freshmen Derek Chatterton and Darin Harris all pitched in relief for Kansas.
