Kansas scored three runs in the first inning and continued to add runs as they slowly overpowered Iowa yesterday by a final score of 9-3. Brett Bollman pitched the first five innings of the game to earn the win. Bollman is now 4-0 on the season. Lee Ridenhour, who only threw three innings on Sunday vs. Baylor, used this game to get in his normal mid-week pitching workout. Ridenhour threw 50 pitches to complete the last four innings of the game and earn a save. Ridenhour only gave up two hits and a walk.

Zac Elgie, Tony Thompson, Robby Price and Brian Heere all had good days at the plate. For the second consecutive game Elgie went 3-5. Brian Heere went 2-3 Wednesday and 7-8 in Iowa. Tony Thompson hit his second homerun of the week in the ninth inning. The KU 3rd baseman now has 9 dingers on the year. David Narodowski returned for the first time since his injury last Friday. He played the first four innings going 0-3 at the plate and committing an error.

Kansas (20-12) returns to action Friday at 6PM. The Hawks host Oklahoma State this weekend.
