Kansas shuts out Missouri at Kauffman Stadium, 3-0

by James Quinn on Apr 29, 2008 10:35 PM CDT in Kansas Jayhawk Baseball

Shaeffer Hall pitched brilliantly leading the Jayhawks to an impressive 3-0 shutout of the Missouri Tigers at Kauffman stadium. Hall went seven innings before turning the ball over to Paul Smyth. The pitching was backed by a solid defensive effort and timely hitting. The Kansas runs came on a Ryne Price solo homerun in the 2nd (his 10th) and a two run single by John Allman in the eighth inning.

The Border Showdown game at Kauffman drew an unexpectedly large crowd of 3,847, making the first of what I expect will become an annual event a success. Kansas heads into this weekend's conference series vs. Oklahoma with momentum. First pitch Friday at Hoglund will be at 6PM.

They are sweet.

A lot of people down here want one, but, as far as I can find out they are not yet on sale to the public. Ryne Price designed them.

They remind me...

of the old Montreal Expos hats.

Nice game

Meant to tell you, JQ, I saw Forrest Hoglund speak down here in Houston a week ago. He was being given some award by the World Affairs Council. I didn't realize it was THE Mr. Hoglund until the guy introducing him started speaking and the event became a contest to see who could slobber more on KU.

But in all seriousness, he's made three boatloads of money in his life. Obviously.
