Game Summary: After plowing his way through Kansas’ first 20 batters, (and having only four Jayhawks hit the ball out of the infield) senior pitcher Cliff Faust must have thought he was seeing his perfect game slip away. The Jayhawks’ Dick Lewallen came to the plate with two outs in the seventh (and final inning) and promptly hit a sinking line drive into left field. But left fielder Joe Scherger made a diving grab to save Faust’s perfect game. Outside of Lewallen’s game ender, no other Jayhawk made a serious bid to reach base.

Game Summary: Richard Geier tossed a nine-inning perfect game against Kansas on April 20, 1954. Geier struck out 10 on the way to retiring 27 consecutive batters. The Huskers scored their lone run when shortstop Dirkes Rolston walked with the bases loaded in the fourth to score center fielder James Cederdahl.
