LAWRENCE, Kan. – On the final day of the Jayhawk Invitational, Kansas dropped its final two games of the invitational to SEMO and UMKC at Arrocha Ballpark at Rock Chalk Park.
Â
Despite two complete games by KU pitchers Brynn Minor and Lexy Mills, the Jayhawks were not able to overcome the deficits produced by their opponents at the plate.
Â
SEMO 2, Kansas 1
Minor tossed her sixth-complete game of the season, but Kansas could not defeat SEMO and dropped their second game to the Redhawks in the Jayhawk Invitational, 2-1. Â
Â
The senior from Wichita, Kansas held SEMO scoreless through six innings and received her lone run of support in the bottom of the sixth inning.
Â
After a Kansas base runner was caught stealing, Sydnee Ramsey earned the walk and was replaced by Macy Omli. Omli then advanced to second on a single by Brittany Jackson and scored on a double to right center by Madison Sykes.
Â
In the top of the seventh, SEMO gained its first runner on a hit by pitch and tallied its second on a bunt single.
Â
With one out and runners on second and third, the Redhawks earned their two runs on a single to left field, which plated both runners.
Â
Minor finished with five strikeouts over seven innings, while facing 32 SEMO hitters.
Â
UMKC 5, Kansas 4 (8)
In the second contest of the day and final contest of the Jayhawk Invitational, UMKC beat Kansas (5-17) 5-4 in eight innings at Arrocha Ballpark at Rock Chalk Park.
Â
The Roos didn’t take long to get on the scoreboard and tallied a two-run home run in the first inning.
Â
The Jayhawks netted their first run of the game in the third inning on a UMKC error and the Roos tallied two of their own a KU error in the fifth.
Â
With a 4-1 lead with only two innings left, Kansas needed an answer and found it in the sixth.
Â
With the bases loaded and no outs, Tarin Travieso laced a hard hit ground out, which allowed one run to score and put runners on second and third.
Â
After another a RBI ground out by Sydnee Ramsey, Shelby Hughston scored on a wild pitch by the UMKC pitcher.
Â
A scoreless seventh inning by both teams resulted in the implementation of a runner on second to start the eighth.
Â
UMKC capitalized on the opportunity and netted the game-deciding run. Kansas was unable to advance the runner and dropped its second game of the day.
Â
Mills earned the start and pitched a career-high eight innings with a career-high 11 strikeouts. The freshman from Calabasas, California held a one-hitter going into the eighth inning and allowed a bunt single to register her first career two-hitter.
Â
NOTES
- Mills tallied a career-high 11Â strikeouts against UMKC and is the first Kansas pitcher to throw 10-or-more strikeouts in a game since Brynn Minor accomplished the feat on March 30, 2018 against Colorado State.
- Minor pitched her sixth complete game of the season against SEMO and her second in the Jayhawk Invitational.
