The Jayhawks pounded seven home runs total in a 29-1 non-conference victory against Minnesota at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.

Minnesota scored the first run of the game in the first inning. But Kansas was relentless from the second inning on. The Jayhawks scored five runs in the second frame, and then went on a hot streak in the third inning where they hit five straight homers, tying an NCAA record for consecutive home runs.

The younger Counsell hit the third of five consecutive home runs for Kansas, which propelled the Jayhawks to a 29-1 win over Minnesota in a game shortened to seven innings. The run of homers in Minneapolis matched an NCAA record set three time previously, most recently in 2006, when South Carolina accomplished the feat against Georgia.
