Henning singled home leadoff hitter Christy Arterburn with two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning, pushing Kansas past 15th-ranked Iowa 1-0 for the championship. She did. The hit gave Kansas the championship of the two-day tournaments. Kansas softball "I blew my chance to get a run home," Hennig said. "I had to do it this time." Both Kansas, 21-13, and Iowa, 21-13, left eight runners on base in the game. The Jayhawks stranded runners in scoring positions in five of the seven innings. "We are not having trouble hitting the ball," Hennig said. "We just aren't getting the hits at the right time." This could be the difference in a lot of our games." Roanna Brazier, 14-3, went the distance for her third shutout in four games. Brazier allowed six hits, struck out four and walked one. Iowa's Terri McFarland gave up only three hits. However, what proved costly to Iowa was second baseman Shelly Fowler's fielding error in the seventh inning. The error allowed Arterburn to reach first base with one out. "That was the most glaring mistake of the game," said Iowa coach Gavle Blevins. Arterburn stole second, and after Kansas second baseman Kim Sacco struck out, Hennig poked a fast ball light field for the game-winning hit. "I started off in a slump during spring break but have been picking it up in the past three to five games," Hennig said. "I'm hoping (my performance) will go back up and stay there." "We did not come through with those early opportunities," Blevins said. "Since our California trip, we have been a little too tentative and not assistive at the plate. That kind of snowballs after a while." Iowa had runners on second and third in both the first and sixth innings but could not capitalize. The Eagles also played games they played in the invitational. Fowler led Iowa with three hits. Sacco and Mona Stanfield had the other two hits for Kansas. NOTES On Friday, Kansas beat Wisconsin-Sincein Green Bay 9-0 on Brazier's two-hitter.
