Jayhawks dominate rival, secure historic sweep, and continue scorching 17-of-18 win streak. They're climbing rankings and controlling games with explosive offense.
Kansas baseball went on the road and handled business. The Jayhawks swept Kansas State in the Sunflower Showdown, their first three-game sweep in Manhattan since 1963, and kept one of the hottest runs in the country going. They have now won 17 of their last 18 and moved up to No. 11 nationally, their highest ranking of the season.
This team is not just winning, it is controlling games and responding when things get tight. Kansas scored 37 runs across the series, taking games 18-6, 10-8, and 9-7. The second game showed exactly who they are. They gave up five runs in the eighth and immediately answered with five in the ninth to take it back. No panic, just execution.
The offense continues to trend up. The team average is now .294 with a .401 on-base percentage and a .511 slugging percentage after the weekend. Production is coming from everywhere in the lineup, and it is showing up in big moments.
Kansas has also been dominant away from home, winning nine of its last 10 road games, which is a big reason they are sitting on top of the Big 12 with a three-game lead.
With 11 games left, the path is right there. A midweek game at Wichita State is next, followed by a key home series against Arizona. At this point, this is not just a hot streak. Kansas looks like a real Big 12 title team and is playing like one down the stretch.

Source: Jeff Goodman, Tyran Stokes Could Announce Decision Monday
Kansas men's basketball and its fans may not have to wait much longer. According to college basketball insider Jeff Goodman, the No. 1 player in the country, Tyran Stokes, could be nearing a decision with a potential announcement coming Monday.
“I was told by one source close to the situation that Tyran Stokes… could announce his decision on Monday,” Goodman posted. “I’ll believe it when I see it.”
The latest intel points to a two-team race between the Kansas Jayhawks and the Kentucky Wildcats, with no mention of Oregon despite recent buzz.
Stokes, a consensus top-ranked prospect, has been one of the most closely followed recruits in the 2026 cycle. Both Kansas and Kentucky have been heavily involved throughout, and the decision is expected to come down to those two programs.
While a Monday commitment is not confirmed, momentum is building toward a resolution in the coming days.
