Club softball plays for first time at home

The Kansas club softball team played its first-ever home games this weekend, splitting a two-game series with Kansas State at Broken Arrow Park.

Kansas won the first game 8-7 in extra innings, but lost 4-0 in the second game. The team was coming off a two-game sweep of Nebraska last weekend in Lincoln, Neb.

Afton Gray, Fort Scott freshman, pitched all eight innings in game one, and Stephanie Blevins, Anthony junior, made several diving catches in the outfield over the course of the doubleheader and had a key hit in the eighth inning to help preserve the victory,

This is the inaugural season for the club softball team. The team is 3-1 this spring against other club teams and 3-2 overall. Kansas’ next games are a rematch with Nebraska on Saturday at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. at Clinton Lake Sport Complex.
