LAWRENCE — Trailing big and with nothing to play for in their final game of the season Sunday, the Kansas baseball team still showed why it should never be counted out.
“That has been our team’s identity for a long time — we don’t quit” KU coach Ritch Price said. “We play all nine innings.”
Entering the final game of the Sunflower Showdown against Kansas State at Hoglund Ballpark, the Jayhawks’ fate was out of their own hands. On top of winning, KU needed Baylor to drop both games of a doubleheader against Texas in order for the Jayhawks to qualify for the Big 12 Tournament.
