Casey Burnham hit a home run on the game's first pitch to give Kansas an early lead. The Bucs tied the game in the bottom of the third, after a walk allowed Sam Trend-Beacom to reach base and Alex Andronica's double put two in scoring positon for CSU. Ryan Rizk's sacrifice fly scored Trend-Beacom to even the score at 1-1.
