Kansas wraps up island series




A season-high 14 hits propelled the Kansas baseball team to its fifth straight victory of the year against Hawaii at Hilo yesterday.

Despite the Vulcans’ best scoring effort in the series, the Jayhawks triumphed, 16-8.

Travis Goset, junior left-handed pitcher, started for Kansas but was left with a no decision after allowing two runs in three innings.

Ryotaro Hayakawa, sophomore right-handed pitcher, then came in and earned the victory by allowing no runs in two innings of work.

Hawaii-Hilo’s John Matson, senior left-handed pitcher, earned his second loss of the series, allowing four runs in 4.2 innings.

Kansas struck first at the plate with consecutive RBI singles from John Allman, freshman designated hitter, and Jake Kauzlarich, senior catcher.

The Vulcans evened the score at two in the third inning and scored five more in the eighth. But the Jayhawks built their lead in the seventh by knocking in six runs.

Don Czyz, Kansas junior right-handed pitcher, closed the final two innings. Seniors Scott Sharpe, left-handed pitcher and Michael Fitch, right-handed pitcher, also saw relief time on the mound.

Kansas will travel to Palo Alto, Calif., today for a three-game weekend series against No. 5 Stanford.
