‘Showed Up to Get a Sweep’

So much can be written about how Kansas State slugged, outlasted and swept Kansas across the wind-gusted field at Hoglund Ballpark, 21-18, on Sunday in the highest-scoring Dillons Sunflower Showdown ever in a series that dates to 1897. But perhaps here's a good place to start: Roberto Pena hit a home run over the right field wall. Then the Wildcats loaded the bases and Kyan Lodice belted a grand slam over the centerfield wall. Then Kaelen Culpepper blasted a 425-foot homer out to left center. Then a KU pitching change. Then four more K-State runs.
