Cyr (1-0) paced the Jayhawks (7-3) to a 7-0 lead through a personal-best 6 2/3 innings of work where he allowed Northern Illinois (2-8) to scatter six hits while striking out four batters.
Freshman right fielder Casey Burnham boasted a perfect 3-for-3 effort at the plate with a RBI and a run scored while junior left fielder Brett Vosik connected for a pair of knocks with a RBI. In addition, sophomore third baseman Skyler Messinger led all hitters with two RBIs.
The series finale is slated for 11 a.m. Saturday.
