Kansas softball to entertain SIU

Kansas University’s softball team will be looking for a split of its six-game homestand when it plays host today to Southern Illinois.

Game time is 3 p.m. at Arrocha Ballpark.

KU has won two of the five games in the week-long stretch at Arrocha — one against Wichita State and the other a 2-0 decision over Oklahoma State in the first game of a Saturday doubleheader.

After today, the Jayhawks will play their next five games on the road, starting with a doubleheader Wednesday at Arkansas. KU (25-22-1) will travel to Oklahoma this weekend.
