Serena Settlemier (6-6) took the loss for Kansas, giv ing up six hits and three runs — two earned — while strik ing out five and walking two. In the first game of the evening, the Jayhawks scored five runs in the final two innings to claim a wild 6-4 win. The two-hour, 25-minute game featured five errors, 18 hits and 10 runs. With the Aggies clinging to a 2-1 lead with one out in the top of the sixth, Kansas’ Leah Tabb doubled down the left field line to score Christi Musser and tie the game. An RBI groundout by Katie Campbell and a run scoring single up the middle by Amy Hulse extended the KU lead to 4-2. Tabb’s double snapped a string of 25 1/3 consecutive innings of work without giv ing up an earned run by A&M starter Lindsay Wilhelmson. Kansas added a pair of insurance runs in the seventh off relief pitcher Lindsey Rippee to take a four-run lead into A&M’s final at-bat. The Aggies mounted a furious rally in the seventh, sending seven batters to the plate and scoring twice before Settlemier retired the final two batters in relief for her third save of the season.

Linebacker Randall Webb set up the score with a recov ered fumble at the Maroon 33-yard line. The Maroons answered with a 15-yard pass from Farris to junior walk-on wide receiver Tim Van Zant. The Whites regained the lead when soph omore quarterback Jason Carter connected with redshirt freshman receiver John Roberson who made a spectacular 20-yard leaping grab. The Maroons took control of the game by scoring 27 straight points. Flemming scored a 1-yard run and then Farris connected with Murphy for a 7-yard touchdown. Sophomore running back Derek Farmer tacked on a 3-yard touchdown run.
