Senior outfielder Jesse Gremminger paced the Jayhawks with four of the team's 19 hits, including a three-run homer. Gremminger said yesterday's victory showed Kansas still possessed a killer instinct.
"All year long we've been scoring runs, but we haven't been able to shut the door on teams," Gremminger said. "We haven't continued to pile on runs earlier in the year, but today we showed that we can do that."
Illinois-Chicago grabbed the lead in the first inning on Chuck Peters' RBI single. After the top of the first inning, the Jayhawks scored in every inning and battered three Flames pitchers.
Junior infielder Ryan Klocksien and sophomore outfielder Jason Appuhn both hit two-run singles in the bottom of the first, capping Kansas' eight-run inning. The Jayhawks then scored a single run in the second inning before exploding for seven runs in the third
inning. Freshman Matt Tribble smacked his first collegiate home run, a three-run shot off the scoreboard in right field.
Kansas added two runs in the fourth and three runs in both the fifth and sixth innings. Klocksien finished the day 4-for-6 with three RBI and three runs scored. Klocksien entered today batting .224 on the season, after hitting .351 a year ago.
"Today's a confidence booster." Klucksen said. "I've been working hard lately, and today I had two hard hits."
The Jayhawks and Flames will meet in a doubleheader today beginning at 3 p.m. at Hoglund Ballpark.

Sheffield extends apology to Dodger teammates
VERO BEACH, Fla. — Gary Sheffield stood in the middle of a silent clubhouse, all eyes on him.
Having already apologized to the Dogders' front office and fans, the star outfielder faced the truly hard part yesterday: He had to tell his Los Angeles teammates he was sorry for causing so much commotion this spring.
The Associated Press
So for about 30 minutes and closed doors, Sheffield spoke—and listened.
"There was a lot of give-and-take," Dodgers manager Jim Tracy said. "His teammates had a right to do that, to see where we stand."
Said Sheffield, "I just said what was in my heart. I told them that the important thing was the team, and that I wanted to be a part of it."
Before spring training, Sheffield asked for a contract extension or a trade. The Dodgers would not rework his deal, and Sheffield called Dodgers chairman Bob Daly alar.
Sheffield, 32, still has three years remaining on his contract, worth $30 million, plus an $11 million club option for 204. He hit .325 with 43 home runs and 109 RBIs last season.
After listing teams he wanted to play for, Sheffield abruptly dropped his trade request Saturday.
it remains to be seen, however,
whether the six-time All-Star will be
While Daly personally accepted an apology from Sheffield during Monday night's exhibition game against the New York Mets, the executive did not offer any guarantee to the slugger he wouldn't be traded.
The Mets, New York Yankees and Cincinnati were said to be talking about possible deals for Sheffield.
Sheffield spoke to his teammates prior to a 7-3 victory against Atlanta. Booed before every at-bat, he went 1-for-2, scored an run and stole a base.
A day earlier, Sheffield fired Jim Neader and hired Scott Boras as his new agent.
Also Monday, Sheffield read from a hand-written statement, saying he intended to honor his contract and adding, "I owed the LA Dogger fans an apology. Iowethem greatperformance this year."
Even with Sheffield's apologies, the Dodgers realize he'll keep hearing it from the fans.
"Weknowhe's going to get booed," outfielder Marquis Grissom said. "He's going to get the heat."
"What he did today was tough. Him being man enough to admit he was wrong, that was the biggest thing," he said. "He wants to curb it back and get back to being a baseball player. You could see it in his eyes."
