Turning Point

How it Happened

- Rivera followed with a single up the middle to claim a 2-1 advantage and Lopez plated the final run of the inning on a double to right.
- Rivera upped the lead to 5-1 in the second with a two-out double to left center, and a solo home run by Pena along with a two-run blast by Lopez in the fourth made it 8-1.
- In the fifth, KU pushed across four runs highlighted by run-scoring singles from Rivera and Lopez, making it 12-1.
- Keiser added four more runs in the sixth, featuring a three-run blast to left by Lopez, his fifth of the year to lead 17-1.
- The Cougars managed to score four runs in the seventh but it was too late as the Seahawks claimed the 17-5, shortened game victory.
