LAWRENCE, Kan. – A stellar pitching performance by starter Eli Davis and a walk-off single by freshman Maui Ahuna pushed the Kansas Jayhawks past the Baylor Bears, 3-2, in the series finale on Sunday afternoon at Hoglund Ballpark.
The Jayhawks (21-15, 3-9 Big 12) came out victorious over the Bears (24-12, 5-7 Big 12) during a pitching duel due to Davis keeping Kansas in the game and holding Baylor’s offense back.
Tied 2-2 in the bottom of the ninth, the Jayhawks came up with some Sunday dramatics to win the finale. Dylan Ditzenberger led off with a single and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt from Tavian Josenberger. With one out and Ditzenberger on second, Ahuna lined a pitch off Baylor’s Luke Boyd to left field to score Ditzenberger and give the Jayhawks the walk-off win.
