⚾️ Jayhawks Off to Missouri State for Wednesday Matchup

LAWRENCE, Kan. — Game eight of 15 straight contests away from home will be on Wednesday, when the Kansas Jayhawks take on the Missouri State Bears at 3 p.m. CT at Hammons Field. Kansas is 4-3 through the first seven games of the stretch.

The Jayhawks played those first seven games over a span of 11 days in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Charleston, South Carolina, and Greenville, South Carolina. KU swept a two-game midweek series from Charleston Southern and beat two Big Ten opponents in Illinois and Michigan State.

The most recent game was on Sunday when Kansas defeated Michigan State 13-7. In that matchup, redshirt freshman first baseman Cooper McMurray hit his second home run of the season and sophomore shortstop Maui Ahuna drove in a career-high five RBIs.

Ahuna is currently first in the Big 12 in batting average (.491, fifth nationally), on-base percentage (.569, 14th nationally), slugging percentage (.873, 18th nationally), hits (27, tied for 18th nationally) and triples (3, tied for 5th nationally).

Kansas (7-7) will throw sophomore left-handed pitcher Sam Brady on Wednesday, while Missouri State will counter with left-hander Ty Blecha.

A live video stream will not be available, but live audio can be heard on the Jayhawk Sports Network on KUAthletics.com and the Kansas Jayhawks app.
