Redshirt-junior right-handed pitcher Sean Rackoski tied a career-high seven strikeouts in a personal-best six and 2/3 innings on the bump as the Kansas baseball team defeated Samford, 6-4, at Hoglund Ballpark last Friday. Rackoski (3-2) cruised through three innings until the Bulldogs reached base for the first time in the fourth with a one-out single. The hurler worked to strand that baserunner and paced Kansas through the next three frames to pick up his third win of the season in six starts after allowing one earned run on seven hits.
