Editor’s note: Big 12 baseball reporter Shawn Shroyer writes a story every Tuesday about the previous week’s Big 12 baseball action.

With its series victory against Texas Tech last weekend, Kansas got back to .500 in the Big 12 at 6-6. Kansas is in a tie with Missouri for the fifth spot in the conference, but holds the tiebreaker over the Tigers. The Jayhawks went 2-2 for the week and dropped out of the Baseball America poll.

Sophomore outfielder John Allman dominated Texas Tech pitching, going 5-for-10 with a run and five RBI.

Senior closer Don Czyz had the biggest series of any Jayhawk. Czyz broke the Big 12 career appearance record and Kansas single-season saves record. Czyz and the rest of the Kansas bullpen allowed only two runs on 11 hits and one walk in 11 innings. The bullpen struck out 12 Texas Tech batters.

Kansas will stay busy this week with a pair of midweek games against North Dakota State at Hoglund Ballpark. Then Kansas will travel to Stillwater, Okla., to face Oklahoma State for a three-game set. If the Jayhawks take the series, it will be their third straight Big 12 series victory — a feat Kansas has never accomplished in the Big 12.

No. 6 Texas at Kansas State (April 8-9)

Scores: Texas 7, Kansas State 2; Texas 10, Kansas State 2; Texas 10, Kansas State 9

Player of the series: Texas junior outfielder Carson Kainer. He went 11-for-15 with a run, nine RBI, a home run and two stolen bases.

Pitcher of the series: Texas junior Kyle McCulloch was an out shy of a complete game last Friday. Nevertheless, McCulloch earned his third straight victory, bringing his record to 4-4. He struck out seven in the game and allowed only two runs.

Note: Texas is 15-3 over its past 18 games after going 9-8 in its first 17.

No. 4 Nebraska at Missouri (April 7-9)

Scores: Nebraska 6, Missouri 3; Nebraska 5, Missouri 2; Nebraska 13, Missouri 7

Player of the series: Nebraska junior outfielder Luke Gorsett continued his onslaught of the Big 12, going 7-for-15 with five runs, eight RBI and two home runs. Missouri intentionally walked Brandon Buckman in the top of the 13th on Saturday to get to Gorsett. He made them pay with a two-run double that put Nebraska up for good.

Pitcher of the series: The entire Nebraska bullpen. Freshmen Erik Bird, Zach Herr and Dan Jennings, sophomore Luke Wertz, junior Jared Cranston and senior Brett Jensen combined for 8.1 shutout innings on Friday and Saturday. Their 5.1 scoreless innings on Saturday kept Missouri hitters at bay until Nebraska pulled away in the 13th inning.

Note: Gorsett extended his hitting streak to 10 games and hit his Big 12-leading 14th home run of the season on Sunday.

Oklahoma State at No. 26 Baylor (April 7-9)

Scores: Baylor 14, Oklahoma State 0; Baylor 8, Oklahoma State 2; Baylor 11, Oklahoma State 2

Player of the series: Baylor senior outfielder Seth Fortenberry went 5-for-10 with five runs, three RBI, an inside-the-park home run and three stolen bases. Baylor hadn’t had an inside-the-park home run since 2003 and hadn’t had one at home since 2001.

Pitcher of the series: Baylor senior Ryan LaMotta pitched a three-hit shutout on Friday, striking out four. The victory improved his season record to 5-2 and Big 12 record to 3-0.

Note: Oklahoma State is 0-6 on the road but 3-0 at home in the Big 12.

No. 29 Oklahoma at Texas A&M; (April 7-9)

Player of the series: Senior infielder Ryan Rohlinger jump-started the Oklahoma offense on Sunday, going 2-for-4 with a two-run home run.

Pitcher of the series: Oklahoma starters. Seniors Daniel McCutchen (4-5), Steven Guerra (8-1) and P.J Sandoval (5-1) struck out 22 batters in 24.2 innings last weekend and allowed only six runs. Sandoval, however, was the only one of the trio who came out of the series with a victory. McCutchen was saddled with the loss on Friday despite striking out 13. Guerra received a no-decision on Saturday.

Note: Since taking two of three games against then-No. 5 Florida, Texas A&M; has gone 6-14.
