The last time Kelly Maxwell started a game against Kansas, it took the Jayhawks until the seventh to record their first hit.
In Thursday’s Big 12 Tournament opener, he took two pitches.
Kansas leadoff hitter Presley Limbaugh reached first on a slow roller to shortstop for the first of three consecutive hits as Lyric Moore hit a single to right to drive home Limbaugh to put Kansas on the board.
With runners on second and third and no outs, Maxwell recovered to retire three consecutive batters to get out of the inning without further damage.
Kelly Maxwell will start in the circle for the Sooners against the Jayhawks.
Maxwell (16-2) took a no-hitter into the seventh against Kansas on March 28 in Lawrence before finishing off the complete game after giving up a home run.
Maxwell has 110 strikeouts and 37 walks in 106 innings.
