Back to Back to Back to Back to Back homers by the Kansas Jayhawks this week

Kansas beat Minnesota Wednesday 29 to 1. The Gophers led early 1-Zip. Only the 4th time in NCAA that a team hit five straight homers.

But Minnesota had five pitchers each giving up at least five earned runs, and only one of them pitched two innings. The game called after seven. Minnesota beat Kansas the prior game 10-6.

I think it was the same pitcher.
MN used 2 pitchers in the first 2 inning. 1 & 2/3rds innings & 1/3rd of an inning.
The third pitcher, (now obviously the 3rd inning) pitched 1 & 2/3rds inning. So the whole third & 2 outs of the 4th.
It had to be the same pitcher, because he would had to pitch only one-third or two-thirds of an inning.
I think they just left a sacrificial lamb in there to pitch batting practice.

So did Kansas!
Do you know if it's typical in college baseball for no pitcher to do over 2 innings.
Or maybe, Kansas was emptying the bench in a blowout.
BTW: the box score I used was the Kansas baseball official site. Lots of information on that page, including a blow-by-blow scoring summary.
Seems pretty useful.
