Despite collecting only three hits in two games, Kansas University split a softball doubleheader with Arkansas Wednesday at Jayhawk Field.

The Razorbacks won game one, 5-1, but the Jayhawks took the second game, 1-0.

In the opener, Heather Schlichtman tossed a one-hitter for Arkansas (20-29). The Razorbacks pounded out a season-high 13 hits against KU right-hander Kirsten Milhoan (8-6). Candice Swan led the way with three singles.

Schlichtman (9-15) stuck out five Jayhawks in a row at one point and finished with eight.

Kansas (23-16) had lost five games in a row and eight of nine before bouncing back in the nightcap.

KU junior Kara Pierce (15-10) won a pitchers’ duel against Blaire Woodward. Both Pierce and Woodward (3-3) tossed two-hitters, but KU’s run in the first inning was the difference.

Freshman shortstop Destiny Frankenstein led off by doubling off the bottom of the fence in left-center field.

Frankenstein moved to third on a sacrifice bunt by junior catcher Dani May. Freshman center fielder Heather Stanley followed with a groundout, driving in Frankenstein for the lone run.

Frankenstein also singled and stole a base in the third inning. No other Jayhawk hit safely.

Pierce finished with eight strikeouts in her sixth shutout.

Kansas will return to action Saturday with a doubleheader at fourth-ranked Texas.

KU's Kara Pierce celebrates with her teammates. The Jayhawks snapped a five-game losing streak by winning the second game of a doubleheader with Arkansas Wednesday at Jayhawk Field.
