Softball wins two, loses two in tourney
By Jonathan Kealing jkealing@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
Editor's note: Yesterday's University Daily Kansan contained many errors. Because of a computer error, "Softball team wins two, loses two in SIU Round Robin" was not run in its correct form. The corrected story follows.
It wasn't quite a homerun, but it could be called a double.
Day one of the tournament the Jayhawks went 0-2. Facing 2003 Conference USA champion DePaul, the team trailed immediately.
The Kansas softball team (15-8) went 2-2 in this weekend's Saluki Round Robin at Southern Illinois University Carbondale.
DePaul scored two runs in the top of the first inning. Kansas scored a run, and added two more in the fifth to take a 3-2 lead. DePaul roared back to life in the top of the seventh with two runs, allowing the Blue Demons a 4-3 victory.
Kansas was led by sophomore shortstop Destiny Frankenstein with two RBIs and sophomore left-fielder Ashley Frazer with two hits on three at-bats
In the second game of the doubleheader, Kansas faced Southern Illinois. The Salukis scored one in the first.
The score remained frozen at 1-0 until the top of the sixth. Kansas answered two from Southern Illinois with one of its own when Frankenstein drove in senior center fielder Mel
Wallach.
That was as close at the Jayhawks would come, as the Salukis added another run in the top of the seventh, while the Jayhawks could only notch one point in the bottom. Southern Illinois won the game 4-2.
Day two proved to be substantially more successful for the team, as they went 2-0.
The Jayhawks started the day with a victory against Illinois State, 4-3. Neither team scored until Wallach singled to left in the top of the sixth, driving in a run. Illinois State tied the game in the bottom of the seventh to send the game into extra innings.
The two teams traded points in the ninth inning with each team scoring one run. It was not until the 11th inning when Kansas drove in two runs that won the game. Wallach again drove in a run, this time with a triple, and left herself in scoring position. She was driven home on a squeeze bunt later in the inning.
Illinois State drove in one run, with the help of a wild pitch, but was unable to muster the two points necessary to force inning 12.
In its last game of the tournament, Kansas faced Tennessee Tech. Kansas won the game 2-1 in the tenth inning.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL
INDIANAPOLIS—The NCAA selection committee started a debate when it made Saint Joseph's a No.1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. The Hawks want to silence the critics and prove they were worthy of a top spot.
NCAA names Saint Joseph's No.1 seed, sparking debate
worthy of a top spot. Saint Joseph's joined Kentucky, Duke and Stanford as the four No. 1 seeds, and the seeding sparked an argument between Martelli and CBS commentator Billy Packer.
The Hawks (27-1) didn't even have time to celebrate the first top seed in school history before Packer started questioning whether Saint Joseph's belonged in the company of other top seeds after losing to Xavier by 20 points in the Atlantic 10 tournament.
Martelli responded by calling Packer a "jackass", and Packer countered by saying he helped Wake Forest beat Saint Joseph's in the 1962 tournament.
Martelli seemed more concerned about trying to prove Packer—and others—wrong when they open play Thursday against Liberty (18-14) in Buffalo, N.Y.
Joseph's in the 1982 to 1984 year He needs to learn a little history about the school where he coaches." Parker said.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — The opening round of the National Invitation Tournament provides a homecoming of sorts for Michigan coach Tommy Amaker and his Missouri counterpart and friend, Quin Snyder.
Two former teammates face each other as rival coaches
The two former Duke players and assistant coaches will face each other for the first time as head coaches tonight when Amaker's 18-11 Wolverines host Snyder's 16-13 Tigers at Crisler Arena.
The winner will face either Oklahoma or LSU, which play tomorrow night. Second round games will be played March 20-23.
"I haven't talked to Quin yet, but I imagine that we both would like to have played someone else to start the tournament so that we could have extended our seasons," Amaker said yesterday. "Obviously, that won't be the case after (Tuesday) night. But that's the way the draw has been determined, so we'll go on from there."
Amaker and Snyder were teammates for two seasons from 1985 to 1987 at Duke and were assistants together under Coach Mike Krzyzewski from 1993 to 1997.

MESA, Ariz. — Kerry Wood pitched four scoreless innings as the Chicago Cubs beat the Kansas City Royals 3-2 yesterday.
Cubs victorious over Royals with four scoreless innings
yesterday.
Wood, the Cubs' scheduled opening-day starter, gave up two hits. He struck out four and didn't walk any batters.
"Everything felt really good today," Wood said. "Mechanics were the most important thing, staying smooth throughout."
The game was scoreless until the bottom of the fourth inning. Corey Paterson led off for the Cubs and legged out a double to center field. The hard-
hit ball went off the glove of Royals shortstop Angel Berroa, who moved to his left but was unable to make the play.
Patterson took third on Moises Alou's groundout to short and came home when Derrek Lee hit a sacrifice fly to center.
The Royals tied the game in the fifth against relief pitcher Sergio Mitre. With two outs, Mitre hit Berroa with a pitch. Carlos Beltran drove Berroa home with a double to left-center.
Kansas City got a strong outing from starting pitcher Jeremy Affeldt. The left-hander worked five innings and gave up three hits and one run. He said he felt no effects from a previous blister problem on his left middle finger.
