TOPEKA, Kan. -- John Calhoun went 5 for 5 from the plate and scored three runs as Washburn scored 10 unanswered runs in a 10-4 win against Newman Tuesday afternoon at Falley Field.

The Ichabods improved to 3-3 while the Jets fell to 11-6. Washburn will begin MIAA play with a four-game series at Pittsburg State starting Saturday with a doubleheader at 2 p.m.

The Ichabods were down 4-0 before they scored a run in the fifth and five runs in the sixth off six hits. Calhoun singled and then stole second and third base before Tyler Bean drove him in with a sacrifice fly. Richard Swan and Marcus Peavler opened the sixth inning with doubles. Swan scored and then, with two outs, Washburn scored four more times. Brad Alberts ended the scoring with a two-run single.

The Ichabods scored four more runs in the eighth when Bean and Eric Graff each had two-run doubles.

Trent Speaker entered the game in the sixth inning and earned the win as Washburn came back. He kept Newman hitless and scoreless and struck out two as he earned his first decision. Seth Huninghake and AJ Green finished the game, allowing just one hit and striking out three.

The Jets sent eight pitchers to the mound. Gage Daniels took the loss as he allowed two runs on three hits in the sixth inning.

Blaine Matthews went 2 for 4 for Washburn with a pair of runs. Alberts, Peavler and Tyler Bailey each had two-hit games. The Ichabods ended up with 17 hits while Newman had six.

Calhoun's five-hit game is the third highest since single-game records were kept in 1999. Two players have hit six or more since then and Calhoun is the third to get five. The last Ichabod to get at least five hits in a game was Jeff Maxon, who had six against Minnesota Crookston in 2007.
