HAYS, Kan. -- Washburn overcame a three-run first inning deficit in the first game Tuesday at Fort Hays State but couldn't do the same in the second game as the two teams split a doubleheader. In a high-powered offensive battle, the Ichabods won the opener 12-6 and then dropped the second game 9-6.

The Ichabods were down 3-0 in the first game before recording an out. They got them all back and then some with five runs in the fourth. Marcus Peavler hit a three-run triple and then scored when Josh Wilder singled. Wilder then scored on Connor Crimmins' double after the right fielder misplayed the ball.

The Tigers got one back in the bottom of the fourth to make Washburn's lead 5-4 and the Ichabods answered with four runs in the fifth to go up 9-4. Tyler Bean hit a two-run home run and Peavler later hit a two-run double to give him five RBI in the game.
