A 10-run fifth inning led Washburn baseball to a 14-4 seven-inning victory over William Jewel on Tuesday afternoon in Liberty, Mo.
Tyler Clark-Chiapparelli
Cale Savage
William Jewell (17-10) opened the scoring with a two-run home run in the bottom of the first, but the Ichabods (23-11) cut the deficit in half when Tyler Clark-Chiapparelli hit a home run to left field in the third inning.
The Cardinals pushed their lead to 4-1 in the bottom of the third after scoring two unearned runs, but WU's Brett Ingram led off the fourth with a homer to center field to trim William Jewell's lead to two.
Washburn's offense exploded for a10-run fifth inning on seven hits and two errors.
TrevorMcCollum and Cale Savage started the frame with back-to-back singles and then two straight wild pitches allowed McCollum to score.
Kros Bay leveled the score with a run-scoring single up the middle. A single by Clark-Chiapparelli and a hit by pitch to Parker Dunn loaded up the bases for Brett Ingram, who drew a seven-pitch walk to bring in the go-ahead run. After Connor Scott's sacrifice fly, Cal Watkins drove in a pair of runs with a double and then scored on the same play after a throwing error.
Another hit batter and an error put runners on and Savage kept the line moving with an RBI double down the left field line. Clark-Chiapparelli sent the first pitch of his at bat to left field for a single that plated a run. The final run of the inning was scored after a wild pitch to make it 12-4 in favor of the Ichabods.
The Cardinals made a little noise the following half inning with two singles, but John Cross left them stranded and ended the inning with a strikeout and a fielder's choice.
With two outs in the sixth, Washburn hit three consecutive singles to bring home another run and go up, 13-4.
After Cross struck out the side in the bottom of the sixth, the Ichabods tacked on one final run in the seventh to make it a 10-run advantage as Dunn launched his 13th home run of the season.
Jake Schroeder worked a scoreless seventh inning and allowed just one walk and secured the run-rule victory with a strikeout.

After dropping a 10-run decision to Hays in Tuesday's first game Washburn Rural's baseball team was three innings away from potentially earning a split before the second game was suspended due to darkness
The Junior Blues took a 14-4 loss in game one but had a 15-5 lead in the second game before the umpires suspended the game in the top of the third inning.
Before the second game was suspended, Washburn Rural, a 6A state qualifier last spring, was able to see some promising offense.
Ty Weber had four runs batted in, while Keaton Catlin drove in two runs.
“We were more aggressive and patient at the plate than we had been,” Washburn Rural coach Jay Mastin said. “We were able to get the bases loaded and take a lot of walks. Our guys did well with runners on base and were able to hit the ball out to the outfield. The offense was a lot better in the second game.”
Hays, third in 5A last season, walked 10 Washburn Rural batters through two innings. The traffic on the base paths was the key for the Junior Blues to have an 11-run second inning.
The first game wasn’t as kind to Washburn Rural as the second one.
The offense got started early for the Indians. In the top of the second inning, Tennessee commit Dylan Dreiling hit a grand slam over the right-field fence.
Washburn Rural would come back with some offense of its own in the bottom of the third as Weber cleared the bases with a three-run double to bring the Junior Blues within one run.
After the third inning, runs weren’t easy to get for Washburn Rural against Hays pitcher Carson Spray.
“We had a hard time putting a swing on anything,” Mastin said. “We had about four or five guys go down looking on strikes. Putting the bat on the ball was a challenge for us in the first game.”
Junior Blue southpaw Colin Redeker would come on in relief and did a solid job.
Collectively, things would trend more in the right direction for Hays in the top of the fifth inning. Garrett Wellbrock and Dalton Dale would drive in four runners off of two singles and a runner would score on a walk.
Washburn Rural would score a run in the bottom of the sixth off of a wild pitch and were five runs away from tying the Indians.
Hays would come back and demolish the baseball in the top of the seventh inning. Bradyn Dreher and Gage Porter both had singles, driving in a combined four runs.
“(Hays) had a lot of guys load up the bases in the first game which wasn’t good for us,” Mastin said. “The bases were loaded almost every inning and we had to keep pitching out of trouble. If you put that many guys on you will get burned a few times.”
Washburn Rural will host Centennial League foe Manhattan on Friday.

Washburn Rural's powerhouse girls soccer team is no stranger to big games.
In fact, the fifth-ranked (Class 6A) Junior Blues are coming off four of them, including three wins over state-ranked teams.
But Washburn Rural gets a little extra hop in its step when it comes time to prove its Centennial League supremacy.
The Junior Blues are the defending four-time league champs (16 overall) and kicked off their bid for a fifth straight title on Tuesday at Highland Park, rolling to a 10-0 win over the Scots.
"We're off to a great start and won our first four games against good opponents, but we told them already that when we get into the league that one of your main goals in regular season is to win the league,'' Washburn Rural coach Brian Hensyel said. "That means there's eight times you've got to take the field and you've got to find a way to get a win.
"It started with Highland Park and it continues with Manhattan Thursday. As fun as those early games were to win and to go over and beat some teams in Kansas City and to go down to Wichita and win a game, you've got to take care of all the games in the league to accomplish one of your goals.''

Rural, which ended the game at halftime by way of the 10-goal spread rule, got goals from 10 different players and assists from eight players.
The 5-0 Junior Blues got goals from seniors Alandra Bailey, Belle Kennedy, Reagan Allen and Kamea Rice, juniors Karsyn McMaster and Hailey Beck, sophomore Hayley Legg and freshmen Kate Hinck, Destiny Higgs and Delaney Hill.
Junior Mackinly Rohn was credited with a pair of assists while Hinck, Hill, Legg, McMaster, Kennedy and seniors Hunter McWilliams and Emma Krueger also picked up assists for the Junior Blues.
Beck and sophomore Mackenzie Flood combined for the shutout in goal.
"We have a lot of depth and we can put people in and out and there's not a whole lot of change from top to bottom,'' Hensyel said. "They did the job today. We told them. 'Come here, let's be efficient, let's get some people playing time, let's set each other up for easy finishes and try to score some goals,' and they did all of that stuff.''
