Jayhawks to face Bradley

Kansas University’s softball team hopes it will be able to savor today’s 2 p.m. doubleheader against Bradley.

The Jayhawks, who have played only six home games, don’t have another game scheduled at newly christened Arrocha Ballpark until the last day of the month when Big 12 Conference foe Nebraska comes to town.

Kansas (17-8) is riding a four-game win streak, thanks in large part to the hot bat of senior center fielder Melanie Wallach, who has raised her average by nearly 100 points to .275 in the last 10 days.

Wallach had three hits — including two home runs — and drove in five runs during an 8-0 and 4-2 doubleheader sweep Tuesday afternoon at UMKC.

Sophomore shortstop Destiny Frankenstien drove in three runs against the Kangaroos and continues to lead the Jayhawks in hitting with a .333 average.

After today’s games against Bradley (9-8), the Jayhawks will embark on a six-game swing to Oregon, where Kansas will play Portland State on Saturday, Oregon State on Sunday and Oregon on Tuesday and Wednesday.
