Stanford, Calif. ? Kansas University senior Frank Duncan was marvelous.
His Stanford counterpart was just a bit better.
Stanford’s Cal Quantrill and Duncan each pitched four-hit, complete-game gems, but Quantrill and Stanford squeaked by with a 1-0 baseball victory over the Jayhawks on Sunday at Klein Field at Sunken Diamond.
KU (12-3) stranded eight runners, while Stanford (7-8) stranded just three. Kansas stranded 35 runners over the three-game weekend set at Stanford.
Sunday, Duncan walked just one and struck out four. Quantrill walked two and threw seven strikeouts.
KU will host Oral Roberts in its home opener at 3 p.m. Tuesday.
