Jayhawks season comes to an end

By The Associated Press

Garrett Gore hit a grand slam to highlight a seven-run third inning that helped North Carolina beat Kansas 12-1 to win its NCAA regional Sunday.

Gore also hit a solo homer in the fifth for the Tar Heels (45-16), who had no trouble advancing to the super regionals. The slam was the first career postseason homer for Gore, who had three home runs this season before Sunday.

Kyle Seager added a two-run single in the third for North Carolina, the No. 4 national seed which is looking for a fourth straight trip to the College World Series. Dustin Ackley also hit a solo homer, his 21st of the season.

Tony Thompson hit a solo homer in the ninth for the Jayhawks (39-24), who beat Coastal Carolina in an elimination game earlier Sunday.
