MINNEAPOLIS – Kansas baseball dropped its contest 10-3 to Minnesota on Saturday afternoon at U.S. Bank Stadium. Dylan Schlotterback had his second multi-hit performance of the series, but a six-run third inning by Minnesota proved to be the difference.

HOW IT HAPPENED
• Kansas (6-4) manufactured a run in the first inning to take an early lead. Cade Baldridge hit an RBI single to give the Jayhawks a 1-0 advantage.
• Minnesota (7-2) was able to even the game at 1-1 when an unearned run scored on a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the first.
• The Golden Gophers took the lead in the third inning with six runs in the frame for a second straight day. Four of those runs came on a grand slam by Ty Allen. After three innings, Minnesota led 7-1.
• The Jayhawks were able to get two of those runs back in the top of the fifth. Kansas began the inning with three consecutive hits, including an RBI double by Dylan Schlotterback. Dariel Osoria brought in the other run on a sacrifice fly. That made it a 7-3 game.
• Minnesota answered back in the sixth on a solo homer by Easton Richter. The Golden Gophers added two more runs in the seventh to bring the score to 10-3.

QUOTABLES & NOTABLES
"We need to play cleaner baseball. We can't give up six-run innings and then not produce in the middle of our lineup and expect to win at a high level against good teams like Minnesota. We have to play our style of baseball. We need to take care of the baseball and get back to what we do well." – Head Coach Dan Fitzgerald

• Schlotterback has six hits in the first three games of the series.
• Ty Thomson made his Kansas debut and threw 1.2 scoreless innings of relief.
• Savion Flowers recorded a hit in his first Division I at-bat.

UP NEXT
