Washburn got just three more hits the rest of the way and Truman scored once in the third and once in the fourth to get starter Matt Herrick his first win of the year.

Game 2

Washburn scored twice in the second and again in the sixth to cushion starter Brett Sorensen as he picked up his team-leading fourth win with a 3-1 victory.

Dane Simoneau and Cameron Kasel hit back-to-back singles in the second inning. Tyler Blankenship drove in Simoneau on a double and then Kasel scored on a wild pitch to give WU an early lead.

Both teams remained scoreless until Washburn added another run in the bottom of the sixth when Simoneau singled and scored on Kasel's double.

Sorensen allowed just three hits through the first six innings. He ran into trouble in the seventh when Joshua Dilday led off and reached on an error. He later scored an unearned run on a single up the middle and then closer Curtis Hamilton came in for Washburn and picked up his fifth save. He pitched to two batters and got a fly out and a ground out.

Sorensen went to 4-4 as he allowed four hits with five strikeouts and two walks. Simoneau and Kasel each led Washburn with two hits.
