Season Statistics

The Ichabods had 11 hits, including seven for extra bases, as they defeated Truman 8-3 Sunday afternoon at Falley Field. Washburn (16-26, 11-21 MIAA) took three of the four games in the series and will now play its final non-conference games of the year with a 1 p.m. doubleheader at Nebraska-Omaha Tuesday.

Joe Hosey had a pair of doubles and went 3 for 4 with two RBI. Cameron Kasel also drove in two with a 2-for-5 performance from the plate.

Starter Bryan Stroth worked the first eight innings and got his team-leading fifth win as he allowed three runs on nine hits with eight strikeouts. Reliever Curtis Hamilton worked a perfect ninth and he has now retired eight straight batters in his three relief appearances this week.

Hamilton would have had a chance to get his sixth save but the Ichabods added three insurance runs to their lead in the bottom of the eighth. After a hit batter and a walk to start the inning, Wes Joy doubled in a run and then Hosey knocked in two with his second double of the day.

The runs broke a six-inning scoreless drought for the Ichabods after they plated five in the first inning. The Bulldogs answered with two in the second and then got one more in the eighth.

Hosey doubled and then Brian Gorges tripled in the first inning. Dane Simoneau later doubled and then Kasel hit a two-run single. Tyler Blankenship then doubled to move Kasel to third and Nick Barnes came to bat and hit a one-out sacrifice fly to leftfield to drive in Kasel. The Bulldogs, however, turned that into a double play as they threw out Blankenship trying to get to third after the throw went home.

After Stroth allowed two runs in the second he cruised through the seventh, allowing three hits and stranding four on base.
