Minnesota scored the first run of the game in the first inning. But Kansas was relentless from the second inning on. The Jayhawks scored five runs in the second frame, and then went on a hot streak in the third inning where they hit five straight homers, tying an NCAA record for consecutive home runs.

A 10-6 loss to Minnesota on Tuesday night suggested the Kansas baseball team might be in for a much tougher time against power-conference competition than against the mid-majors who had given KU its 14 early-season victories in 15 games.

Kansas tied an NCAA record by hitting five straight home runs in Wednesday's game against Minnesota. The Jayhawks scored eight more runs in the fifth inning and won 29-1 in a game shortened to seven innings.
