2B Thursday, March 13, 1997 UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 'Hawks bat away Missouri with sixth-inning comeback By Harley V. Ratliff Kansan sportswriter The Kansas baseball team just can't stop winning. Geoff Krieger / KANSAN Designated hitter Aaron Wilmes puts on the brakes after being trapped trying to score. Wilmes was out, but the Jayhawks were not, beating Missouri 13-8 yesterday afternoon. Behind the strength of an offensive onslaught and a winning all-around performance, the Jayhawks beat the Tigers 13-8 last night at Hoghund-Maupin Stadium. The victory concluded Kansas' two-game series sweep of Missouri and marked Kansas' eight consecutive win. Kansas baseball coach Bobby Randall said he was impressed with his team's performance, especially at the plate. "Everybody on the team, offensively, was absolutely outstanding," Randall said. "I'm really pleased with how our offense is progressing." The Jayhawks scored two runs in each of the first two innings and built an early 4-0 lead for starting pitcher Rusty Philbrick, who made his first start in a Kansas uniform. the freshman held the Tigers scoreless in the first four innings. Missouri, however, did not give up. Behind 4-1 and with the bases loaded in the sixth inning, Tiger first baseman Aaron Jaworowski tied the score by smacking a three-run triple down the right-field line. Tiger pinch hitter Jeff Terrell finished the Missouri scoring spree when he singled in Jaworowski. The Tigers had their first and only lead of the afternoon, 5-4, following Terrell's hit. The Jayhawks tied in the bottom of the inning when designated hitter Aaron Wilmes doubled home Nick Frank. Kansas put the Tigers away two innings later. fielder Justin Headley bashed a home run over the right-field fence, scoring two runs. "I didn't want it to end." Randall said about the inning. "It was a confidence builder for the whole team." A long eighth inning began for the Missouri pitchers when Kansas right fielder Les Walrond hit a double to right field. Twelve batters, nine hits, eight runs and three Tiger pitchers later, the Jayhawks led 13-5. Center Kansas reliever Josh Wingerd, who held the Tigers scoreless for two innings, said the Kansas offense had done more than its part to help avenge last year's five losses to Missouri. "Missouri really drug us around last year," Wingerd said. "But our hitters have really been incredible. They've been on a tear." Track team kicks off new season Multi-event athletes represent Kansas in meet's 36-team field By Matt Woodruff Kansan sportswriter Let the games begin Kansas assistant coach Rick Attig said the team had made progress in the indoor season and was looking forward to starting the outdoor season. Kansas will compete in the multi-events held today and tomorrow. It will send two athletes from the men's team and four from the women's side. Six members of the Kansas track and field team will begin the 1997 outdoor season today in College Station, Texas, as they represent one of 36 teams competing in Texas & M's annual event. "I was really pleased with the work ethic and the willingness to make changes," he said. "This is a good way to start out the year." This will be the first meet that Kansas All-American decathlete Mike Evers will compete in after redshirting the indoor season. He will be joined by teammate Nathan Prenger, who had a strong indoor season, but was slowed by a sore hamstring before he had the chance to qualify for the NCAA Indoor Championships. The decathon will have three divisions – gold, silver and bronze. The team will send Candace Mason, Amber Mounday, Heidi Lundervold and Mandy Schroeder to compete in the women's heptathlon, which will have two divisions - gold and bronze. Although it will be the team's first outdoor meet, several of the other teams already have competed, including Texas A&M, which won eight gold medals in its first outdoor meet at Baylor. "It was good to get the outdoor season going for us," said Ted Nelson, Texas A&M track coach. "Our teams are built to be more competitive during the outdoor season, and I think that was apparent." Other teams competing in the multi-events include Kansas State, Penn State, Clemson, East Texas State, Houston, Abilene Christian, Louisiana State, Montana, Angelo State and Northern Arizona.
