Jayhawks win tourney

KU softball team uses long ball to claim title

? Amanda Jobe and Stevie Crisosto each homered, backing a strong performance by Kassie Humphreys in the circle, as the Kansas University softball team knocked off Memphis, 5-2, on Saturday night to win the 2007 Sunshine State Tournament.

The victory gave KU (5-3-1) a 3-1 mark in the tournament, good enough for the title as the Jayhawks won the tiebreaker courtesy of their 1-0 victory Friday against host Florida State.

Jobe’s two-run homer in the top of the second gave KU an early 2-0 lead, and Crisosto added a three-run blast in the third to push the advantage to 5-0.

Humphreys was named the tournament MVP, while Jobe and Crisosto joined her on the all-tournament team.

Earlier Saturday, the Jayhawks claimed a 10-2 rout against Jacksonville.

KU will return to action Friday at the Red and Black Tournament in Louisville, Ky.
