TOPEKA, Kan. -- The Washburn Ichabods swept a doubleheader from Southwest Baptist on Saturday afternoon at Falley Field to take three out of four games in the series. Washburn won game one 6-1 then completed the sweep with an 11-1 seven-inning win in game two.

WU got on the board right out of the gates with two runs in the bottom of the first on a Dane Simoneau two-run double.

The Bearcats (3-7, 2-6 MIAA) got one run back in the top of the fourth on a Taylor Trotter RBI double, but the 'Bods responded with four runs in the bottom of the fifth to put the game away. Boone Plager had an RBI single to start things off and later scored on Cameron Kasel's two-run double. Andy Petz singled home Kasel to complete the scoring.

The 'Bods added two more runs in the fifth to give them the 10-run advantage. Plager drove in the first run of the inning on a fielder's choice and Kasel had an RBI single to complete the scoring. The game ended after seven innings due to the 10-run rule.
