Baseball team wins first of 2008

The KU baseball team knocked off Lock Haven yesterday by a score of 10-2, improving their 2008 record to 1-4. The game was held during the opening day of the Builder Invitational in Hampton, Va.

LHU jumped ahead 2-0 in the second inning, but it wasn't long before KU took a commanding lead en route to a 10-2 victory.

Up 3-2 in the bottom of the sixth, Matt Kulbacki hit a grand slam to seal the deal.

Phil Rummel was on the hill for KU and allowed 2 runs, 1 earned, on 3 hits in six innings of work. Justin Jachowicz, Ryan Cassidy, and Trent Mertz each tossed one inning a piece to close the deal, striking out a combined 5 batters.

KU's next action is Friday at noon against Apprentice School, the host of the Builder Invitational.
