Washburn University baseball secured its second sweep of the season on Sunday afternoon at Falley Field in walkoff fashion, defeating Fort Hays State 7-6 after a home run in the bottom of the ninth from Cale Savage.

The Ichabods now head out of conference play for one game, playing Rockhurst at 6 p.m. Tuesday on the road.
The Tigers (21-20 overall, 9-18 MIAA) led off the game with back-to-back hits, a double and a single, to score the first run of the game.
After one out another pair of hits scored two more runs to make it 3-0 Tigers after half an inning.
WU's Grant Jones ended the top of the first, robbing what would have been a grand slam in left field to limit the scoring.
Ichabod starter Chase Torkelson settled in the next two innings, holding Fort Hays State without a hit.
Washburn (23-16, 17-10) got on the board in the bottom of the third, beginning with a leadoff walk to Ike Book.
Payton McHarg moved him to second and Cash Jay did the rest, scoring Book with a single down the left-field line.
An inning later Grant Jones shot a one-out single straight up the middle.
Connor Scott tripled one batter later to bring Jones all the way around. Book tied the game with a sacrifice fly to left field to score Scott and complete the inning.
