KU softball splits twinbill

? Out of the opener early, Kansas University’s softball team won a thriller of a nightcap late.

After suffering an 8-0 setback to Creighton in Game One of a nonconference doubleheader on Thursday, the Jayhawks rallied — behind a two-run home run from Allie Clark in the top of the seventh — for a 6-5 victory in Game Two.

Trailing 5-4 in the seventh, Clark appeared to tie the game with what originally was ruled a double down the left-field line, but officials reversed the call — deeming it a foul — and called her back to the plate. Two pitches later, Clark connected on her sixth homer of the season to help KU move to 18-24. Creighton is 20-18.
