“I don’t even know. I don’t want to know,” Tabb said after she crushed two balls out of Jayhawk Field on Friday evening. “I’ll take singles and doubles any day. I like RBIs.”

Tabb drove in five runs with her two homers in a 6-2 Big 12 Conference win over Baylor.

In the first inning, Tabb smoked a two-out, two-strike Joni Miller pitch on a trolley wire over the left field fence with a runner on.

“I know I hit it really good,” Tabb said.

“That line drive got out in a hurry,” KU coach Tracy Bunge said.

Then in the fifth with two runners on, Tabb drove a pitch from Baylor reliever Jill Smith high and deep over the left field fence.

Better over the fence, Bunge figures, than off her body in the third base coaching box. During Tabb’s first two seasons with the Jayhawks, she hit foul ball after foul ball down the left side.

“There were a number of times she hit me her first year,” Bunge said. “She almost killed the Arkansas coach who was sitting by the post in the third base dugout. I used to warn opposing coaches about her, but I don’t anymore.”

That’s because Tabb, a junior from Oklahoma City who still holds the Oklahoma prep single-season record with 22 home runs, is consciously trying to avoid pulling the ball.

“This winter I worked on waiting until the ball got into the zone,” Tabb said. “It’s just focus. I just focus more.”

The result has been eight home runs don’t tell her and that’s one shy of the school single-season record shared by former first baseman Shannon Stanwix and Bunge. Tabb also leads the Jayhawks with 30 RBI.

“She’s really worked at keeping her hands inside the ball,” Bunge said. “She has such quick hands. She was too quick.”

Tabb usually plays catcher for the Jayhawks, but with outfielder Shelly Musser’s left shoulder ailing Bunge has sent Tabb to right field and placed freshman Dani May behind the plate. Musser singled to open the game and scored on Tabb’s first homer, but had to leave after the first half-inning.

“It hurts,” Musser said afterward. “Hopefully, treatment and a couple of days off with help.”

Musser is doubtful for today’s 1 p.m. game against the Bears.

Tabb’s lusty hitting helped Kara Pierce, who has also been nursing shoulder woes, stagger to her 15th mound victory. Pierce gave seven hits including a seventh-inning solo homer to Colleen Bordages and four walks, but Baylor lost three runners on the bases and stranded six.

Baylor coach Glenn Moore was ejected by first base umpire Jeff Sloan in the fifth inning. Sloan had called Baylor runner Ryan Stukel out for leaving first base too soon, and Moore was tossed after a short argument.

Kansas’ lone non-homer fueled run crossed in the fourth after a walk, Katie Campbell’s double over the centerfielder’s head and an Amy Hulse groundout.

Kansas hiked its Big 12 record to 5-4 and its overall mark to 23-20. Baylor is 3-5 and 31-16.
