Kansas softball blanked by Baylor

Bears use seven-run sixth inning to claim run-rule-shortened victory

? Kansas University’s softball team was held hitless through four-plus innings and managed just two over the run-rule-shortened six as the Jayhawks remained winless in the Big 12 Conference after an 8-0 loss to No. 23 Baylor on Saturday at Getterman Stadium.

KU fell to 16-22 overall, 0-7 in the Big 12, while Baylor — which snapped a three-game losing streak — improved to 22-13 and 3-3.

Neither team scored in the first three innings.

Baylor made it 1-0 in the fourth, then ended it early with a nine-hit, seven-run sixth.

Brittany Hile had KU’s first hit in the fourth. Maggie Hull had Kansas’ other single in the sixth.

Marissa Ingle was the only other Jayhawk to reach base, drawing a second-inning walk.

The series will conclude with a single game at noon today.
