LAWRENCE, Kan. &ndash;&nbsp;Kansas volleyball will return to historic Allen Fieldhouse on Friday, Oct. 24 to host Kansas State in the Dillons Sunflower Showdown. The announcement was made Monday as part of the Big 12 Conference schedule release. &nbsp; The Jayhawks, under first-year coach&nbsp;<dfn><a href="https://kuathletics.com/sports/womens-volleyball/roster/coaches/matt-ulmer/892" rel="smarttag" rev="892">Matt Ulmer</a></dfn>, will play an 18-game Big 12 Conference schedule, opening it up on Sept. 26, when KU welcomes Arizona State for the first of nine conference home matches. Kansas will also host Arizona, Texas Tech, Iowa State, TCU, Colorado, Cincinnati, and UCF at Horejsi Family Volleyball Arena, in addition to hosting Kansas State at Allen Fieldhouse.&nbsp; &nbsp; For the other half of Big 12 competition, the Jayhawks will take to the road to face against TCU, Baylor, Houston, Kansas State, Cincinnati, West Virginia, Utah, BYU and Iowa State. Of the 15 conference opponents, Kansas will play a home-and-home series against TCU, Iowa State, Kansas State and Cincinnati. &nbsp; In its home matchup against Kansas State,&nbsp;Kansas will return to&nbsp;Allen Fieldhouse&nbsp;for the first time since 2013, when the Jayhawks hosted one regular season match and the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament&nbsp;there. In the postseason, KU defeated Wichita State and Creighton to advance to the regional semifinals. The Jayhawks also played three games at Allen Fieldhouse in 2012, sweeping Saint Louis in a regular season match before going 1-1 in the NCAA Tournament. &nbsp; Kansas volleyball played its home matches at Allen Fieldhouse from 1975-98 before moving into the Horejsi Family Athletics Center in 1999. The facility was later renovated and unveiled as the new state-of-the-art Horejsi Family Volleyball Arena on Sept. 10, 2019.&nbsp;Prior to moving, the attendance record in Allen Fieldhouse was 14,800 for a match against Missouri on Oct 18, 1996. The largest crowd since then was 4,478 for the NCAA first round matchup vs. Wichita State on Dec. 1, 2012. &nbsp; "The fan support for Kansas volleyball continues to grow," Ulmer said. "We are thankful that Kansas State has agreed to compete with us in Allen Fieldhouse to showcase just how large that support is. There's no doubt in my mind that we can let the country know that Kansas volleyball is looking to compete at an elite level in every way." &nbsp; More information regarding tickets for the Dillons Sunflower Showdown matchup at Allen Fieldhouse will be announced at a later date.

🏐 Dillons Sunflower Showdown moves to Allen Fieldhouse for 2025 season

WICHITA, Kan. –&nbsp;On November 20, the Kansas Board of Regents approved a request from Wichita State to enhance the name of the on-campus baseball stadium to Eck Stadium, Home of Tyler Field at Gene Stephenson Park.

There will be an official dedication ceremony on Saturday, May 3 to unveil the signage on the stadium. The ceremony will begin at 9 a.m. and will be held outside the stadium on the southwest corner. A social will also be held after the ceremony in the All-American Club.

The stadium name was enhanced to honor Hall of Fame coach Gene Stephenson who was the head coach at Wichita State from 1978-2013.

When he came to WSU in 1977 from the University of Oklahoma, the Shocker baseball program was just being started again. He was instrumental in building the program and the stadium from the ground up.

Stephenson was inducted into the National College Baseball Hall of Fame in 2014, the Pizza Hut Shocker Sports Hall of Fame in 2019 and is a three-time NCAA Coach of the Year and 11-time Missouri Valley Conference Coach of the Year. In 1989, he led the Shockers to the College World Series championship.

He led WSU to seven College World Series appearances, 27 NCAA Regional appearances, two NCAA Super Regional appearances, 20 Valley regular-season titles, and 17 Valley tournament championships. He directed Wichita State to more wins than any NCAA Division I program in the country eight times and coached 33 players at Wichita State who played in the Major Leagues.

He coached three players named NCAA Player of the Year and one named NCAA Pitcher of the Year. He also coached two players named NCAA Academic Player of the Year and 20 players who earned Academic All-America honors a total of 27 times.

He coached 54 All-Americans, 33 Freshman All-Americans, 15 conference Players of the Year, 12 conference Pitchers of the Year and 13 MLB first-round draft picks. He is a member of the Missouri Valley Conference All-Centennial Team and won 60 or more games five times and 50 or more games 19 times.

His number 10 is the only Shocker baseball number to be retired.&nbsp;&nbsp;

⚾ WSU to hold dedication ceremony May 3 for Gene Stephenson Park

The NCAA passed rules Monday that would upend decades of precedent by allowing colleges to pay their athletes per terms of a&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/nil-ncaa-house-settlement-1dc0f36ee94134d6ace86fd0bd66f290">multibillion-dollar lawsuit settlement</a>&nbsp;expected to go into effect this summer.

The nine proposals passed by the NCAA board were largely expected but still mark a defining day in the history of college sports. An athlete’s ability to be&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/college-athletes-amateur-ncaa-79e481c957d73a545fee24cda06e4f87">paid directly by his or her university</a>&nbsp;is on track to be enshrined in a rulebook that has forbidden that kind of relationship for decades.

For the NCAA rules to officially go into effect, the changes prescribed by the House settlement still have to be granted final&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/college-lawsuit-settlement-roster-limits-2cdd17ee4b6081dd8892b3dc998d03e8">approval by a federal judge</a>, whose hearing earlier this month led to questions about potential tweaks before the new guidelines are supposed to go into play on July 1.

The changes will eliminate around 150 rules and alter many others in the NCAA’s sprawling rulebook. They essentially codify measures set up by the settlement, including:

—Modifying bylaws to allow schools to pay the athletes directly.

—Eliminating scholarship limits for teams, while also&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/ncaa-lawsuit-settlement-nil-d162a40c71be28a380c75d6c8202807a">setting roster limits</a>&nbsp;that are designed to replace the scholarship caps. Some details of the roster limits, which were a key sticking point in the April 7 hearing, will be finalized later.

—Establishing annual reporting requirements for schools that pay athletes; a payment pool is set to be approximately $20.5 million for the biggest schools beginning next academic year.

—Setting up a clearinghouse for all name, image and likeness (NIL) deals that come from third parties and are worth $600 or more.

The honor from the Big 12 is the second of the season for Hauge. He received Big 12 Player of the Week on March 17. &nbsp; Hauge hit .467/.526/1.000 (7-for-15), with two doubles, two home runs, nine RBIs, six runs scored, three walks and a 1.526 OPS in four games last week. Hauge crushed a go-ahead 3-run homer in the seventh inning on Friday night against Kansas State. He also extended his on-base streak to 27 games. &nbsp; For the third time this season, Hauge homered in back-to-back games. In addition to his Friday night homer, Hauge hit a long ball on Tuesday against Wichita State. In all four games, Hauge drove in at least one run and in three of four games he scored a run or drew a walk. &nbsp; A native of Ramsey, Minnesota, Hauge leads the Big 12 with 17 home runs (tied for third nationally), 60 RBIs (tied for second nationally) and 117 total bases (16th nationally). Hauge is tied for third in program history for single-season home runs (17) and tied for ninth in single-season RBIs (60). &nbsp; Hauge is the second Jayhawk to receive Big 12 Newcomer of the Week this season, joining&nbsp;<dfn><a href="https://kuathletics.com/sports/baseball/roster/tommy-barth/16141" rel="smarttag" rev="16141">Tommy Barth</a></dfn>&nbsp;who earned the honor on March 3.

BOSTON (AP) — Sharon Lokedi broke the Boston Marathon course record, and fellow Kenyan John Korir joined his brother as a race champion on Monday as the city celebrated the 250th anniversary of the start of the Revolutionary War.

Lokedi, who ran for the University of Kansas from 2015-2019, outran two-time defending champion Hellen Obiri over the final mile a year after losing a sprint down Boylston Street to her in one of the closest finishes in race history. Lokedi finished in an unofficial 2 hours, 17 minutes, 22 seconds — 19 seconds ahead of Obiri and more than 2 1/2 minutes faster than the previous Boston best.

Six months after winning Chicago, Korir finished in 2:04:45 — the second-fastest winning time in race history as the runners took advantage of perfect marathon weather to conquer the 26.2 miles from Hopkinton to Boston’s Copley Square.

After crossing the line, Korir was greeted by his older brother, 2012 Boston winner Wesley Korir. Although the race has been won by a pair of unrelated John Kelleys and two different Robert Cheruiyots, the Korirs are the first brothers — or relatives of any kind — to win the world's oldest and most prestigious annual marathon.

Conner Mantz of Provo, Utah, finished fourth after losing a three-way sprint to the finish with Alphonce Felix Simbu of Tanzania and Cybrian Kotut of Kenya. Simbu was second and Kotut was third.

Korir ran without his bib showing, pulling it out of his running tights as he sprinted down Boylston Street.

Reenactors on horseback, accompanied by a fife and drum playing “Yankee Doodle,” helped start the festivities and add a bit of levity when Paul Revere’s horse was spooked by the finish line decal on the street and stopped. The actor portraying the colonial silversmith and patriot had to hop off and walk the last few steps himself as the small early crowd laughed and clapped.

After reading a proclamation, Revere gently tugged the horse the rest of the way before riding off to more ceremonies commemorating the midnight ride on April 19, 1775, that warned the colonists in Lexington and Concord that the British were on the march.

Marcel Hug of Switzerland had no such trouble completing the course, zooming into Copley Square in 1:21:34 for his eighth Boston wheelchair title. He beat two-time winner Daniel Romanchuk by more than four minutes in the&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/boston-marathon-wheelchair-bob-hall-0426d27b488fbb668c04523a391d655d">50th anniversary of Bob Hall’s pioneering push</a>&nbsp;to add a wheelchair division to the race.

“It means a lot to win this year, 50 years of wheelchairs in Boston,” Hug said. “For me, it will take some time to realize what it means, eight times wins. It’s such an incredible number.”

Susannah Scaroni of the United States won the women’s wheelchair race for the second time, finishing in 1:35:20. Her victory guaranteed that the “Star-Spangled Banner” would play on Boylston Street in Copley Square on Patriots’ Day, the state holiday that commemorates the first shots of the Revolutionary War&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/lexington-concord-battles-250-independence-history-debate-031df77dc1cfa5cf669b6694dfe509ee">250 years ago Saturday</a>.

Former KU star wins Boston Marathon in record time

TOPEKA, Kan. — The Kansas State High School Activities Association Executive Board is set to meet Wednesday and Thursday in Topeka, where members will consider key changes to postseason formats and game rules across multiple sports — with particular focus on the future structure of the state basketball tournament and the implementation of a shot clock.

A significant item on the agenda is a proposed overhaul of the state basketball format. Under the plan, quarterfinal games would be played at neutral sites on Tuesday or Wednesday of championship week, followed by semifinal matchups on Friday and state title games on Saturday. The semifinals and finals would be hosted at traditional, more prestigious state venues. The new model would group two classifications at each of three final four sites, while one class would remain solo. Consolation games would take place either Friday or Saturday morning. The KSHSAA staff developed the proposal in response to member school feedback seeking a more unified and prestigious state tournament experience.

Also up for discussion is the future use of a shot clock in high school basketball. Following a year of experimental use and survey data collection, KSHSAA staff are recommending a phased rollout of mandatory shot clocks during postseason play. The proposal includes:

Additional agenda items include proposed changes to the state volleyball format — separating pool play for two classifications across two days with a final four bracket on Saturday — and preliminary discussions on game-ending procedures for baseball and softball, which could result in formal proposals later this year.

The Executive Board may take action on several of the proposals during this week’s meetings.

🎧⚾ Royals end losing skid, ⚾ KU sweeps KSU, 👟 129th Boston Marathon

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The prevailing and not entirely inaccurate sentiment after the Kansas City Chiefs failed in their attempt at an historic Super Bowl three-peat was that they couldn’t protect Patrick Mahomes from the relentless Philadelphia pass rush.

Often overlooked was the fact that their own pass rush barely laid a finger on Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts.

So as the Chiefs prepare for the NFL draft later this month, and most mock drafts have Kansas City general manager Brett Veach expending one of his four selections in the first three rounds on offensive line help, he could just as likely be shuffling around in an attempt to land someone who can play alongside Chris Jones in the middle of the defensive line.

“Every offseason, it’s offensive line and defensive line,” Veach said. “If you look at how we’ve handled the offseason, we are always investing in the offensive line and defensive line. It’s just some years, you have more numbers to work with than others, and that would probably be a similar challenge this year. Our priority is always on the front first.”

One of the reasons they have some flexibility to address the defensive line first is that the Chiefs already signed offensive tackle Jaylon Moore to a two-year, $30 million deal in free agency. He’s largely been a backup during his career in San Francisco, but the Chiefs saw something they liked in Moore when he had an opportunity to start five games last season.

Their only notable signing on the opposite side has been veteran Jerry Tillery, who can play defensive tackle or end.

The Chiefs will pick 31st overall on the opening night, then pick three times the following night, because of an extra third-round selection they picked up from Tennessee. They have eight picks in all, thanks to a pair of compensatory selections.

The Chiefs have a burgeoning star in pass rusher George Karlaftis, they re-signed Charles Omenihu and they’re still hoping for a breakthrough from 2023 first-round pick Felix Anudike-Uzomah. But the Chiefs still need help getting after the QB, and that is especially true from the interior of the defensive line, making tackle one of their priorities.

For the first time in a while, the Chiefs may not be desperate to add a wide receiver. They have Rashee Rice coming back from a knee injury, Xavier Worthy coming off a breakout rookie season, and they re-signed Marquise Brown and Juju Smith-Schuster to provide a veteran presence. If anything, they could add some depth in the later rounds.

Moore and veteran Jawaan Taylor are the starting offensive tackles heading into camp, but neither are long-term solutions. The Chiefs tried to shore up the position last year, but second-round pick Kingsley Suamataia may be headed to guard.

The Chiefs signed Nick Bolton to a long-term contract, which means a veteran linebacker group returns intact. Drue Tranquill is dependable and Leo Chenal proved he can handle a big workload, so the Chiefs appear set at that position.

Travis Kelce is entering his 13th season, and while they have Noah Gray signed to a long-term deal and Jared Wiley has potential, they could be looking for another tight end that they could develop this season.

DETROIT (AP) — Bobby Witt Jr. hit a tiebreaking sacrifice fly in the 10th inning, and the Kansas City Royals beat the Detroit Tigers 4-3 Sunday to stop a six-game losing streak.

With the score 3-3, Jonathan India's groundout off Tyler Holton (1-2) advanced automatic runner Drew Waters to third, and Witt hit a 280-foot fly to left. Waters scored headfirst ahead of Riley Greene's throw.

Carlos Estévez (1-0) intentionally walked Greene to put runners on the corners with two outs in the bottom half, then retired Dillon Dingler on a popup.

Kansas City went 2-8 on its trip and is 9-14. Detroit had won three straight.

Detroit left fielder Kerry Carpenter left the game after the eighth inning because of right hamstring soreness.

Tigers ace Tarik Skubal allowed two runs and seven hits in five innings, while Royals starter Michael Wacha gave up two runs and seven hits in 5 1/3 inning

Hunter Pasquantino and Drew Waters built a 2-0 lead with RBI singles in the second, but consecutive, two-out run-scoring singles by Carpenter and Zach McKinstry tied the score inthe fifth.

McKinstry's RBI single in the seventh ended Daniel Lynch IV's scoreless streak at 31 innings.

Mark Canha tied the score in the eighth with an RBI single after Witt reached second on a throwing error by third baseman Javier Báez.

With the bases loaded in the seventh, Salvador Perez scooped Greene's grounded and start an inning-ending 3-2-3 double play.

Skubal is 11-1 with a 1.96 ERA in 18 starts at home since the start of the 2024 season.

Royals: LHP Kris Bubic (2-1, 1.88) starts Tuesday homestand opener against Rockies RHP Ryan Feltner (0-1, 4.82).

Tigers: RHP Keider Montero (0-1, 9.00) starts Monday's series opener against Padres RHP Randy Vasquez (1-1. 1.74).

&nbsp;
TULSA, Okla. &mdash; The Wichita Wind Surge swept a Saturday doubleheader against the Tulsa Drillers by scores of 3-1 and 7-0 at ONEOK Field. A trio of home runs was enough to get by while four Wichita pitchers combined for 13 punchouts.
<a href="https://www.milb.com/player/ricardo-olivar-691627">Ricardo Olivar</a>&nbsp;left the yard to right field on a solo shot in the top of the second. The Wind Surge loaded the bases later on in the frame, and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.milb.com/player/rubel-cespedes-686438">Rubel Cespedes</a>&nbsp;singled back up the middle to bring in two more runs for a 3-0 Wichita lead.
Jose Ramos would hit an opposite-field home run himself in the bottom of the second to cut the Wind Surge lead to two after two innings in Game 1.
Besides that long ball from Ramos,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.milb.com/player/connor-prielipp-687570">Connor Prielipp</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.milb.com/player/darren-bowen-804539">Darren Bowen</a>&nbsp;combined to yield just three more hits over the final five innings while striking out five. Bowen earned his second win of the season, giving up just two hits with three walks and four strikeouts out of the bullpen.
Game 2 began with three perfect innings between Wichita&rsquo;s&nbsp;<a href="https://www.milb.com/player/john-klein-804619">John Klein</a>&nbsp;and Tulsa&rsquo;s Jerming Rosario.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.milb.com/player/tanner-schobel-802355">Tanner Schobel</a>&nbsp;reached on a leadoff single in the top of the fourth, and then he scored on a single by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.milb.com/player/ben-ross-805346">Ben Ross</a>&nbsp;two batters later.
After a trio of walks loaded the bases for the Wind Surge in the fifth,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.milb.com/player/allan-cerda-678323">Allan Cerda</a>&nbsp;went yard on a Grand Slam to left center for a 5-0 Wichita advantage.

LAWRENCE, Kan. &ndash;&nbsp;Kansas baseball finished off a three-game series sweep over Kansas State on Saturday, defeating the Wildcats twice at Hoglund Ballpark in the Dillons Sunflower Showdown. With the doubleheader sweep, Kansas now has 31 wins to match its win total from last season. &nbsp; Kansas has at least 30 wins in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 2013 and 2014. The Jayhawks improved to 31-10 overall and 12-6 in Big 12 play after completing its first series sweep of the Wildcats since 2019. &nbsp; GAME ONE (Kansas 6, Kansas State 3) &nbsp; <dfn><a href="https://kuathletics.com/sports/baseball/roster/cooper-moore/16136" rel="smarttag" rev="16136">Cooper Moore</a></dfn>&nbsp;started for Kansas in the first game and was in control much of the day as he matched his career high of 8.0 innings, allowing only three runs and one walk with eight strikeouts. &nbsp; Kansas State (23-17, 10-8 Big 12) was able to jump out to a 1-0 lead in the second inning on a solo homer by Sam Flores. The Jayhawks matched that run in the bottom of the second inning on an RBI single from&nbsp;<dfn><a href="https://kuathletics.com/sports/baseball/roster/ian-francis/16139" rel="smarttag" rev="16139">Ian Francis</a></dfn>. &nbsp; Each team scored in the third inning with Kansas State plating two runs and the Jayhawks scoring one of their own. The Wildcats scored both of their runs on RBI groundouts.&nbsp;<dfn><a href="https://kuathletics.com/sports/baseball/roster/jackson-hauge/16155" rel="smarttag" rev="16155">Jackson Hauge</a></dfn>&nbsp;provided the run-scoring hit for Kansas with an RBI single. At the end of three innings, Kansas State led 3-2. &nbsp; Kansas scored two runs in both the fourth and fifth innings to take the lead. In the fourth,&nbsp;<dfn><a href="https://kuathletics.com/sports/baseball/roster/tommy-barth/16141" rel="smarttag" rev="16141">Tommy Barth</a></dfn>&nbsp;hit an RBI single and&nbsp;<dfn><a href="https://kuathletics.com/sports/baseball/roster/michael-brooks/16122" rel="smarttag" rev="16122">Michael Brooks</a></dfn>&nbsp;scored on a double play. That gave Kansas a 4-3 advantage. &nbsp; The Jayhawks were able to extend that lead in the fifth with an RBI single from&nbsp;<dfn><a href="https://kuathletics.com/sports/baseball/roster/dariel-osoria/16146" rel="smarttag" rev="16146">Dariel Osoria</a></dfn>&nbsp;and an RBI single by Brooks. The two runs brought the score to 6-3 and would end the scoring for the game. &nbsp; Moore continued through the next three innings and ended his day with an outstanding play by the defense where&nbsp;<dfn><a href="https://kuathletics.com/sports/baseball/roster/chase-diggins/16124" rel="smarttag" rev="16124">Chase Diggins</a></dfn>&nbsp;fielded the ball up the middle, flipped it to&nbsp;<dfn><a href="https://kuathletics.com/sports/baseball/roster/sawyer-smith/16138" rel="smarttag" rev="16138">Sawyer Smith</a></dfn>&nbsp;who threw over to&nbsp;<dfn><a href="https://kuathletics.com/sports/baseball/roster/brady-ballinger/16147" rel="smarttag" rev="16147">Brady Ballinger</a></dfn>&nbsp;for a 4-6-3 groundout.&nbsp;<dfn><a href="https://kuathletics.com/sports/baseball/roster/alex-breckheimer/16154" rel="smarttag" rev="16154">Alex Breckheimer</a></dfn>&nbsp;came on for the ninth and closed out the game for his fourth save of the season and his second of the series. &nbsp; PITCHERS OF RECORD Win:&nbsp;<dfn><a href="https://kuathletics.com/sports/baseball/roster/cooper-moore/16136" rel="smarttag" rev="16136">Cooper Moore</a></dfn>&nbsp;(4-1) Final line: 8.0 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 1 BB, 8 SO Loss: Lincoln Sheffield (5-4) Final line: 4.0 IP, 8 H, 5 R, 2 BB, 2 SO Save:&nbsp;<dfn><a href="https://kuathletics.com/sports/baseball/roster/alex-breckheimer/16154" rel="smarttag" rev="16154">Alex Breckheimer</a></dfn>&nbsp;(4) Final line: 1.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 SO &nbsp; GAME TWO (Kansas 6, Kansas State 5) &nbsp; Kansas scored in each of the first four innings, including a three-run fourth, to build enough of an advantage to hold off the Wildcats in the series finale. The Jayhawks bullpen allowed just one run on three hits over the final five innings as KU secured the doubleheader and series sweep. &nbsp; Kansas began the game with a solo home run by Ballinger in the first inning. The blast by Ballinger gave Kansas an early 1-0 lead. &nbsp; Kansas State responded in the top of the second with three runs of their own. A sacrifice fly by Bear Madliak and a two-run single off the bat of Maximus Martin put the Wildcats ahead 3-1. &nbsp; The Jayhawks chipped away with one run in the bottom of the second and one run in the third to tie it up. Smith hit an RBI single in the second and Osoria had an RBI single in the third to even the game at 3-3 after three innings. &nbsp; The Wildcats took back the lead in the top of the fourth on an RBI double by Martin. The run gave Kansas State a 4-3 edge. &nbsp; Kansas had an answer in the bottom of the fourth with three runs to grab a 6-4 lead. Hauge hit a sacrifice fly to tie the game and Counsell hit a two-run ground-rule double to give the Jayhawks the lead. &nbsp; Bullpen pitching took over during the latter part of the game and neither team would score a run over the next four innings.&nbsp;<dfn><a href="https://kuathletics.com/sports/baseball/roster/thaniel-trumper/16129" rel="smarttag" rev="16129">Thaniel Trumper</a></dfn>,&nbsp;<dfn><a href="https://kuathletics.com/sports/baseball/roster/malakai-vetock/16142" rel="smarttag" rev="16142">Malakai Vetock</a></dfn>,&nbsp;<dfn><a href="https://kuathletics.com/sports/baseball/roster/manning-west/16160" rel="smarttag" rev="16160">Manning West</a></dfn>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<dfn><a href="https://kuathletics.com/sports/baseball/roster/dalton-smith/16144" rel="smarttag" rev="16144">Dalton Smith</a></dfn>&nbsp;each pitched scoreless innings and combined to allow one hit as KU maintained the 6-4 advantage heading into the ninth. &nbsp; <dfn><a href="https://kuathletics.com/sports/baseball/roster/eric-lin/16158" rel="smarttag" rev="16158">Eric Lin</a></dfn>&nbsp;pitched the ninth and struck out the leadoff batter before KSU got a pair of singles to get runners at the corners with one out.

&nbsp; QUOTABLES &amp; NOTABLES "Great weekend. I love how the guys competed and yesterday was obviously a great win where they had to stick it out and score in the seventh and then hold. I thought we did a really nice job in game one. Cooper was unbelievable and did a really good job of keeping the ball off their barrel and we made plays. For Breck to come in back-to-back days in big situations was big. Today, Kannon was just okay. He got us through four and kept us in the game and then super proud of Trumper, Vetock, West, Smith and Lin each throwing an inning and no walks out of the relief corps. A great weekend. I thought we did a really nice job at the plate of not giving up any at-bats. After a weekend, there's always stuff to look at in terms of situational hitting and some baserunning things. Overall, the competitive nature of this team is awesome. They are a great crew to be around and they have a lot of fun winning." &ndash; Head Coach&nbsp;<dfn><a href="https://kuathletics.com/sports/baseball/roster/coaches/dan-fitzgerald/871" rel="smarttag" rev="871">Dan Fitzgerald</a></dfn> &nbsp; "[The coaching staff] really believes in me and they really believe in my stuff, so I have to believe in myself and trust my defense&hellip;I was begging [to go out there for the ninth], but at the end they came to the decision that it was best to go to Breckheimer. Breckheimer has been great all year and he is our closer, so I was happy to hand off the ball to him." &ndash;&nbsp;<dfn><a href="https://kuathletics.com/sports/baseball/roster/cooper-moore/16136" rel="smarttag" rev="16136">Cooper Moore</a></dfn> &nbsp; "We knew we had a big weekend coming up, especially against K-State. We learned what we could from last weekend and came back and obviously had a great weekend&hellip;our preparation is unbelievable. Fitz compliments us on it every day and we know if we just stick to the process and focus on one thing at a time we can come out and play good baseball." &ndash;&nbsp;<dfn><a href="https://kuathletics.com/sports/baseball/roster/brady-counsell/16135" rel="smarttag" rev="16135">Brady Counsell</a></dfn> &nbsp; &bull; Kansas is 31-10 overall this season and 12-6 in Big 12 play. The Jayhawks are tied for second in the Big 12 standings. &bull; Kansas has matched its win total from the 2024 season with 15 regular season games to go. &bull; Kansas has its best record through 41 games since 1993, when the Jayhawks were 32-9 through 41 games. The 1993 season is the only year Kansas has ever made the College World Series. &bull; Kansas has 30 wins in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 2013 and 2014. &bull; Kansas recorded its first series sweep against Kansas State since 2019. The Jayhawks went 4-0 against the Wildcats that year, winning all three games of the regular season series and a game in the conference tournament. &bull; Kansas now has 80 home runs this season, extending their program record. &bull; Moore matched his career high with 8.0 innings pitched. He has gone at least seven innings in five of his last six starts. &bull; Hauge now has 60 RBIs this season, which moves him into the top 10 for most RBI in a single-season in program history. He extended his on-base streak to 27 games. That is the longest on-base streak by a Jayhawk since Tavian Josenberger had a 29-game on-base streak during the 2021 season. &bull; Ballinger hit his 13th home run of the season. &bull; Cerda now has an on-base streak of 20 games. &bull; Brooks matched his season high of three hits in the first game. &bull; Smith has reached base safely in each of the last 17 games. &bull; Breckheimer and Lin each recorded their fourth save of the season. &nbsp; UP NEXT Kansas will be on the road for four games next week. The Jayhawks will go to Nebraska on Tuesday night and be at Utah for a three-game weekend series from April 25-27.</div>

BOCA RATON, Fla. --&nbsp;Wichita State dropped their seventh consecutive game on Saturday afternoon, falling 7-4 to Florida Atlantic as the Owls completed the three-game sweep at FAU Baseball Stadium. The Shockers (12-27, 4-11) managed just one hit through the first five innings against FAU starter James Litman (3-1) and squandered several late scoring opportunities as the Owls (27-12, 9-6) built upon their lead. FAU broke a scoreless deadlock in the bottom of the third inning with a bases-loaded walk and a sacrifice fly, then pushed the lead to 3-0 when John Martinez blooped an RBI double. <dfn><a href="https://goshockers.com/sports/baseball/roster/josh-livingston/9185" rel="smarttag" rev="9185">Josh Livingston</a></dfn>&nbsp;got Wichita State on the board with a sacrifice fly that cut the deficit to 3-1 in the top of the sixth, but the Owls reestablished control with a three-spot in the bottom of the seventh. A crucial WSU throwing error opened the door for consecutive run-scoring fielder's choices before Jake Millan poked a two-out RBI single that gave FAU a 6-1 lead. <dfn><a href="https://goshockers.com/sports/baseball/roster/ryan-callahan/9175" rel="smarttag" rev="9175">Ryan Callahan</a></dfn>&nbsp;pulled the Shockers a run closer in the eighth, bouncing an RBI single through the right side to score Livingston, but Florida Atlantic's Marshall Lipsey stole home in the bottom of the inning to restore the five-run cushion. <dfn><a href="https://goshockers.com/sports/baseball/roster/jordan-rogers/9191" rel="smarttag" rev="9191">Jordan Rogers</a></dfn>&nbsp;kept the Shockers hopes alive with a two-out, two-run homer in the top of the ninth, but Owls reliever Steven Andrews fanned Livingston to end the game. <dfn><a href="https://goshockers.com/sports/baseball/roster/brady-hamilton/9179" rel="smarttag" rev="9179">Brady Hamilton</a></dfn>&nbsp;(1-5) suffered the loss for Wichita State despite a career-best 6.0 innings of work, allowing five hits and three runs while striking out two. Litman earned the win, tagged for just one run on three hits in 5.1 frames. <dfn><a href="https://goshockers.com/sports/baseball/roster/camden-johnson/9183" rel="smarttag" rev="9183">Camden Johnson</a></dfn>&nbsp;logged a three-hit game to spearhead the Wichita State offensive effort. The Shockers are back in action on Tuesday night at Kansas State. First pitch is scheduled for 6:00 pm CT.</div>

After a pair of tough losses to start the series, the Jayhawks responded with energy and execution on both sides of the ball,&nbsp; highlighted by timely hits, a statement home run from&nbsp;<a href="https://kuathletics.com/sports/softball/roster/olivia-bruno/6949">Olivia Bruno</a>, and a confident outing from Brooks, who made her 57th career start in the Crimson and Blue. "I'm really proud of&nbsp;<a href="https://kuathletics.com/sports/softball/roster/katie-brooks/6906">Katie Brooks</a>&nbsp;today. She gave up a two-run homer but answered right back the next inning&mdash;she stayed confident and competitive in the circle," said head coach&nbsp;<a href="https://kuathletics.com/sports/softball/roster/coaches/jennifer-mcfalls/526">Jennifer McFalls</a>."We played good defense behind her and got timely hits when we needed them. Most importantly, we just need to focus on ourselves, bottle up this momentum, and take it back to Lawrence with us." Brooks took the circle for the third game of the Iowa State series, making her 11th start of the season and the 57th of her Kansas career. Brooks made quick work of the Cyclones in the first inning, retiring the side with ease and giving the Jayhawks their second opportunity at the plate. The Jayhawks sparked some offensive momentum in the top of the second, starting with freshman&nbsp;<a href="https://kuathletics.com/sports/softball/roster/ava-wallace/15856">Ava Wallace</a>&nbsp;reaching first on a hard-hit ground ball to shortstop.&nbsp;<a href="https://kuathletics.com/sports/softball/roster/anna-soles/6934">Anna Soles</a>&nbsp;followed with a double to center field, driving in the first run of the game and putting Kansas on the board. <a href="https://kuathletics.com/sports/softball/roster/presley-limbaugh/6855">Presley Limbaugh</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://kuathletics.com/sports/softball/roster/hailey-cripe/6977">Hailey Cripe</a>&nbsp;kicked off the third inning with back-to-back singles, setting the stage for&nbsp;<a href="https://kuathletics.com/sports/softball/roster/olivia-bruno/6949">Olivia Bruno</a>. Down 0-2 in the count, Bruno crushed a pitch to deep center field, giving Kansas a commanding 4-0 lead over Iowa State. In the bottom of the third, Iowa State applied some pressure with a two-run homer, cutting Kansas' 4-0 lead in half. The Jayhawks kept their composure, escaping the inning without further damage thanks to a heads-up foul ball catch in right field by&nbsp;<a href="https://kuathletics.com/sports/softball/roster/aynslee-linduff/6968">Aynslee Linduff</a>. Kansas responded effectively in the fourth, plating five runs to extend their lead. The scoring began with a&nbsp;<a href="https://kuathletics.com/sports/softball/roster/hailey-cripe/6977">Hailey Cripe</a>&nbsp;double that brought home&nbsp;<a href="https://kuathletics.com/sports/softball/roster/karsen-griggs/15854">Karsen Griggs</a>&nbsp;and Limbuagh with ease, while pushing&nbsp;<a href="https://kuathletics.com/sports/softball/roster/aynslee-linduff/6968">Aynslee Linduff</a>&nbsp;to third. Junior&nbsp;<a href="https://kuathletics.com/sports/softball/roster/campbell-bagshaw/6868">Campbell Bagshaw</a>&nbsp;followed with a blast to right-center, clearing the bases and giving the Jayhawks a commanding 9-2 lead. Iowa State made its presence known at the bottom of the fourth, pushing across three runs with aggressive offense and cutting the Kansas lead to 9-5.&nbsp;<a href="https://kuathletics.com/sports/softball/roster/katie-brooks/6906">Katie Brooks</a>&nbsp;held her ground, ending the rally with a clutch strikeout to send the Jayhawks back on offense. The Kansas offense kept rolling in the fifth, tallying four hits and four more runs.

The juniors came up clutch as well, each driving in a run to stretch the lead to 13-5 heading into the bottom of the fifth. The Jayhawks brought the Cyclones to their final three outs, holding a commanding 13-5 lead, and they stayed locked in, shutting the door and keeping Iowa State off the board. With a strong defensive stand, Kansas closed out the game in five innings, securing a dominant run-rule win and their lone victory of the weekend.&nbsp; Pitchers of Record: Win:&nbsp;<a href="https://kuathletics.com/sports/softball/roster/katie-brooks/6906">Katie Brooks</a>&nbsp; (5-7) Line: 5.0 IP, 5&nbsp; R, 6&nbsp; H, 3 BB, 4 SO Loss: Jaiden Ralston (8-7) Line: 3.0&nbsp; IP, 4 R, 5 H, 2 BB, 1 SO Up Next Kansas will return to Lawrence briefly before hitting the road again to take on Kansas City.
