EDMOND, Okla. – A stellar pitching performance from Jaycee Ginter and a one-out walk-off single from Alexis Tanguma moved the Ichabods into the MIAA Tournament semifinals with a 1-0, 8-inning win over Northwest Missouri at Pinkston Stadium on Thursday. The Ichabods will now face the top-seeded Rogers State Hillcats at 12 p.m. on Friday in the single elimination format.
 
In the bottom of the eighth, Marrit Mead reached on a single on a hot-shot down the third base line and then moved to third after Ginter's sac bunt was mishandled by the first baseman sending Mead to third with one out. Tanguma then took a full-count pitch to left field for the game-winning run.
 
In the circle, Ginter improved to 17-7 striking out six with no walks scattering five hits in the win. She threw 121 pitching in the game outdueling the Bearcats' Jadyn Streigle who took the loss.
 
Tanguma finished with two hits in the game with Mead, Jaden LaBarge, and Hailey Neira collecting the others.
 
Washburn improves to 37-14 on the season while the Bearcats end the year at 28-25.
