The Wildcats, who figure to battle for the league crow had to have help from the lluskers to win the first game with a three-run seventh inning rail and while coach Bob club also got help in the second game, they hardly needed it as tall left-hander Steve Wood and stocky southpaw Steve Snyder combined on a two-hit shutout. Kansas State went into the; final inning of the opener, trailing by and came out: of it with the 4-3 victory. Barry Herron started the rally with a double to left and pinch hitter Danny Nichols followed with another double to score Herron. Tom Wheeler lofted what appeared to be the second out of the inning toward left- center, but communications between Another run in the sixth, with Mike Churchich squeeze bunting Alex Walter, who had tripled, home, appeared to be enough lor Husker hurler Bob Churchich, who allowed a hit since the second inning.

Wood, a 6-4, 220-pound junior, allowed a single to Bib Churchich in the first inning of the second game and another to Wayne Kissler in the second inning, but that w'as all the hits the Huskers got although Snyder was called in to relieve after he had walked the first two batters in the fifth. Snvder struck out Steve Johnson and Bob Churchich before getting Bob Brand to hit into a force out, ending the threat. Meanwhile, Kansas State came up with two runs off NU starter Keith Winter in the fifth inning on singles by Jack Woolsey and Norb Andrews, plus an error by shortstop Bob Churchich. Another two runs in the seventh off reliever Alan Furby iced the sixth K-State win of the season against four losses and put the Husker record at 1-7.

When Sc he tier pumped a over pitcher Bob head, Wheeler raced home with the go- ahead run that made it 4-3. After the Huskers had given the Wildcats an unearned run in the first inning, they came back to take the lead in the same inning, thanks to wildness by K-State starter Wade who forced in a run with a base on balls and another with a hit batsman.
