LAWRENCE, Kan.--The Kansas Jayhawks spoiled another early North Dakota State rally to defeat the Bison 7-5 in the second of a three-game college baseball series Saturday, March 12, at Hoglund Ballpark.
The Jayhawks (15-8) erased a three-run deficit with four runs in the bottom of the second inning and tacked on two more in the third to go ahead for good.
NDSU (0-9-1) jumped ahead 3-0 in the top of the first inning. Jared Sullivan's inside-out single through the right side scored Tim Erickson and Charles Magedanz, and Sullivan scored a few batters later on a balk.

Goltz was charged with six runs on seven hits. He walked three and struck out two and lost for the third time in three starts.
Reliver Scott Sharpe was the winner for Kansas. He worked 1 1/3 innings, allowing one earned run on two hits and struck out one.
