The Ichabods improved to a season-high 10 games over .500 at 29-19 overall (21-12 MIAA) and will enter the MIAA Tournament as the No. 5 seed. The Ichabods will face No. 4 Central Oklahoma on the road beginning Friday.
The scoring in the game started in the second inning after Washburn loaded the bases on a pair of walks and an error.
Payton McHarg was able to work a walk, bringing in the first run of the game.
Chase Torkelson got the start for WU and held the RiverHawks scoreless for the first three innings of the game while allowing just one hit and one walk.
In the third a pair of one-out singles from Hayden Priest and Connor Scott put two on base. Blake Scott reached on a throwing error, which also allowed Priest to score. Jett Buck shot a single into left field to add another run and Buck and Blake Scott executed a double steal bringing Scott safely home to make it 4-0 after two and a half innings.
The next time at bat Cal Watkins led off with a walk and McHarg was hit by a pitch and Cale Savage sat down a sac bunt to move both runners over.
Cash Jay and Priest followed with back-to-back singles, each scoring a run. Connor Scott made it three hits in a row, smacking a single to left, scoring Jay.
Blake Scott worked a walk to load the bases and Buck made use of that, scoring Priest with an RBI groundout.
Grant Jones took care of the other two left on base with a two-run single to left, capping off the six-run fourth inning.
Torkelson continued to keep the RiverHawks offense down, throwing a scoreless fourth inning while allowing just one walk.
McHarg led off the fifth with a single, moved to second on a walk from Jay and to third on a passed ball before scoring on a balk.
Priest singled to score Jay, and after Connor Scott was hit by a pitch, Teagan Tamiya delivered a two-out pinch-hit single to right field scoring two, making it 14-0 in the fifth.
