Ichabods starter Trent Speaker shut the Mules out in the seventh and eighth and then gave up a leadoff single to Ben Cox in the bottom of the ninth. He stole second and then advanced to third on a fly ball. With one out, the Mules tried to bunt and Speaker fielded the ball and threw Cox out at the plate to make it two outs. With runners at first and second now, the Mules scored one on an error by Plager and then Bret Schwartz drove Jon Cotter in with a walk-off single through the right side of the infield.

Speaker (2-3) took the loss after the two unearned runs. He gave up four earned runs off nine hits and walked one with four strikeouts.

Calhoun and Peavler each went 3 for 5 and Connor Crimmins went 3 for 3 with a walk. Calhoun doubled to lead off the game and then scored after a sacrifice bunt and RBI single by Peavler. The Mules scored two in the bottom of the first and one more in the second before Washburn got one back in the third. Boone singled to start the inning and later scored on a hit by Bean. The Mules built a 4-2 lead with a run in the sixth before Washburn's comeback in the seventh.

The Ichabods had 15 hits in the second game Sunday after getting just four in the first game of the doubleheader and 13 total in the first three games.
