Softball starts practices

The Kansas softball team took the field at Arrocha Ballpark yesterday for its first fall practice. The team began preparations for the two tournaments it will host in October ­— the Jayhawk Fall Invitational Oct. 3 and the KU Fall Invite Oct. 10 and 11.

“I am really excited to finally see the entire team together for the first time,” coach Megan Smith said in a press release. “The players worked extremely hard during individual workouts and they have adapted well to our new philosophies. We will continue to focus on fundamentals for the first few weeks of team practice as we prepare for our fall games.”

Seven starters return to the team, which opens its fall season against Emporia State and Central Missouri State Oct 3 at home.
