After a lengthy time away from home, the Kansas softball team will be playing at home one last time before hitting the road again.
The Jayhawks play a doubleheader against UMKC with the first game starting at 2 p.m. at Arrocha Ballpark today.
Kansas is 18-1 all time against the Kangaroos.
The Jayhawks have won 10 of their last 12 games and won the Jayhawk Invitational last weekend.
Leading the way for the Jayhawks has been senior pitcher Kassie Humphreys.
Humphreys is 10-2 on the year and is looking to improve coming off a no-hitter performance last weekend in the championship game against New Mexico. She struck out eight but walked seven and was often behind in the count.
“I didn’t feel like I was on top of my game,” Humphreys said after the game.
Coach Tracy Bunge said after the game that she was pleased with the pitching staff as of late and hopes that the offense can produce.
The Jayhawks are 14-0 when they score the first run of the game.
