Kansas Baseball vs. Texas Tech

Photos from the game Sunday against Texas Tech at Hoglund Ballpark. Kansas lost the game 21-10 making it their worst loss in Big 12 play this season.

If the first two games of the series were any indication, Kansas’ offense was bound for another slugfest. In Saturday’s contest the offense kept up with the Red Raiders, but with fly ball outs and groundouts littering Hoglund Ballpark, the Jayhawks struggled to play catch up. Casey Lytle and Jimmy Waters were players who rose to the occasion for the Jayhawks in the first two games of the series, but didn’t record a hit in the series’ finale.

After the slow start, the Jayhawks started to pick up the offense in the bottom of the sixth inning. Macias hit a grand slam to cap the inning, putting the Jayhawks back in the game. Texas Tech kept pace, though, and kept scoring runs.

“We had our opportunities and we had our chances, we just didn’t capitalize,” Macias said.

In the first two games of the Texas Tech series, coach Ritch Price’s lineup change produced runs from start to finish. Sunday’s finale saw not only a slow start by the Kansas offense but missed opportunities. Six runners were left on base.

“I’m pleased with the comeback today, but we struggled with pitching early on in the game and that’s what got us in the hole early,” Price said.
