It was a disaster of a weekend for the Jayhawks in Oklahoma City. On Wednesday, a mistimed dive in centerfield led to a late Kansas State run, giving them the win. Saturday the Hawks were able to put the aluminum on the ball, but nothing carried as they fell to Texas.
Today, Baylor put up 3 runs in the first inning of Lee Ridenhour and then proceeded to put 3 up in the second off Cameron Selik. In the top of the 3rd, Sophomore Tony Thompson hit a grand slam to make it 6-4. Thompson’s homer also broke the KU single season record. It was his 19th of the year. Congrats to him.
Baylor ended up beating Kansas 8-4, which means Kansas finishes the Big 12 tournament 0-3. Selection day should be a bit more of a white knuckle affair for Kansas fans, but I expect them to solidly make the field. They have a very solid RPI (46) and were 13-11 in the regular season vs. Top 25 teams. I think they’ll probably get a 4 seed (although a 3 isn’t impossible) and just for poops and giggles I’m going to guess they are going to get sent to TCU’s regional.
I’ll preview their regional in depth once the field is selected, and if you are into that sort of tihng I’ll be previewing all 16 regionals for Major League Jerk
