LAWRENCE, Kan. – Kansas baseball wraps up a season-long six-game homestand this week with a two-game midweek series against Sacramento State that begins on Tuesday evening at 6 p.m. CT. Fans can purchase tickets by clicking here.

Kansas (15-8, 4-2 Big 12) is riding a season-best five-game winning streak after sweeping Houston this past weekend. The Jayhawks have scored 57 runs over the five games and have scored at least eight runs in all five games.

The series sweep of Houston was the first conference sweep of the season and the second sweep of the year. Last season, Kansas established a new school record with five Big 12 series sweeps. The Jayhawks are tied for third place in the conference after two weekends of Big 12 play.

In the series against Houston, Kansas hit a go-ahead home run in the bottom of the eighth inning in each of the three games. Tyson LeBlanc, Tyson Owens and Josh Dykhoff were each responsible for a go-ahead blast.

Owens had a huge Saturday for the Jayhawks. He set new career highs of eight RBIs, four hits and two home runs. He hit a grand slam, three-run homer and walk-off RBI single in the 9-8 victory.

Sacramento State (9-15) heads to Lawrence after dropping its most recent series to Winthrop. Despite the series loss, Sacramento State did win a weekend series at No. 2 LSU earlier this season. The Hornets have hit .256 as a team this season and have posted a 4.77 ERA on the mound.
