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.

The Jayhawks tied an NCAA record with five consecutive home runs en route to a 29-1 obliteration over the University of Minnesota. They are also the first Big 12 team to accomplish the feat.

Kansas incredibly hits home runs in five consecutive at-bats in a blowout victory over Minnesota.

It has never been done in Major League Baseball. It may well never be done in Major League Baseball. But the Kansas Jayhawks pulled off an unprecedented feat on Wednesday afternoon, hitting five consecutive home runs in their game against Minnesota.
