Washburn University baseball scored three runs in the eighth inning Sunday to take a 4-3 MIAA comeback Senior Day victory over Newman, completing a series sweep in the regular-season finale.

The Ichabods, 26-24 overall and 18-18 in the MIAA, will now await their seeding for the MIAA Tournament, which will  begin in Joplin, Mo. on Wednesday, May 7.

Before Sunday's game Washburn recognized its 19-player senior class on the field.

Just like the day before the Jets offense got started early, loading the bases with no outs after an error, walk and a single.

One run came in to score on a groundout double play before Washburn starting pitcher Caleb Lunnon escaped the jam with a strikeout to keep the score at 1-0.

The next three innings were all scoreless ones on the mound for the junior Lunnon and he struck out the side in the fourth.

The Ichabod offense was finally able to pick up its first hit off the bat of Hayden Priest with one out in the home half of the fourth. Jackson Mervosh followed with a double to put two runners in scoring position and the Ichabods would load the bases but were unable to tie the game.

Next time up for Newman (10-33, 6-27), the Jets got three straight hits with one out, a single followed by a pair of ground-rule doubles, with each producing a run to put the Jets up 3-0.

Lunnon exited the game in the sixth inning and was replaced by Logan Bartlett. The bases were loaded by Newman before the senior escaped the jam.

Washburn was able to get on the board in the bottom of the inning after a one-out single by Jett Buck, followed by a two-out double into the left-field corner to score him.

Washburn University baseball used the long ball and small ball to win 4-3 over Newman Saturday on the day that the WU stadium was named Steve Anson Stadium in honor of the late, longtime Ichabod coach.

The Ichabods' regular season will wrap up on Sunday, with first pitch set for 1 p.m. after ceremonies begin at 12 p.m. for Senior Day.  

The Jets (10-32 overall, 6-26 MIAA) led off the game with a pair of hits that would come around to score on an RBI groundout and sacrifice fly to lead 2-0.

But Washburn's Caden Bressler settled in on the mound, throwing scoreless innings in the second, third and fourth.  

With the score still 2-0 in the fifth, Washburn (25-24, 17-18) got out of the top of the inning with a 6-4-3 double play. In the bottom of the inning Owen Laessig led off with a home run to cut the Newman lead to one.

After two batters reached in the top of the sixth inning the Ichabods went to the bullpen. Newman got one hit to score one but that is all they would score as Kai Bennett left the bases loaded.

The Washburn and Emporia State softball teams battled to a standoff in Saturday's final doubleheader of the regular season while individually the day belonged to Ichabod senior first baseman Jaden LaBarge.

LaBarge, who was one of six Ichabods honored between games on Senior Day at Gahnstrom Field, hit three home runs in as many at bats in Washburn's 8-0 five-inning first-game win and added a fourth homer in the second game, a 4-2 eight-inning Emporia State victory.

In the opener LaBarge tied a school record with her three home runs and seven runs batted in.

In the first inning, LaBarge connected on her first long ball of the day, scoring fellow seniors Alexis Tanguma and Kaylee Wagner.

When LaBarge came up in the third inning, after a single from Wagner, LaBarge hit another round-tripper as Washburn stretched its lead to 5-0.

LaBarge's third at-bat of the day was a homer down the left-field line, scoring Wagner, as Washburn went up 7-0.

The Ichabods closed out the run-rule win when Erin Boles and Dalaney Anderson both walked and then Maddie McGee's hit scored scored Ashley Gaughan, who entered as a pinch runner, for the eighth run of the day and the 8-0 win.

LaBarge's three home run game was the first by an Ichabod since Taylor Zimmerman had three at Lincoln on March 4, 2016. It was only the fourth time in program history an Ichabod had a three-homer day.

Her seven RBI tied a school record and was the first seven RBI game since Taylor Kirk had seven at Lincoln on March 3, 2018. Saturday was the eighth time an Ichabod drove in seven in a single game.

In the pitcher's circle, junior Sadie Walker improved to 15-8 while scattering four hits and striking out two in the win.
