Big Eighth Inning Pushes Washburn Past Griffons

Ichabods Rally For Six Late Runs

ST. JOSEPH – A six-run eighth inning by Washburn (9-10, 4-6) spoiled a Griffon Baseball (9-8, 7-3) comeback effort in Missouri Western's home opener Saturday afternoon.
 
Missouri Western took a 4-2 lead with a three-run seventh, but Washburn's big eighth inning handed the Griffons just their third MIAA loss of the season.
 
NOTABLES
  • Andrew Curry led off the fifth with a solo home run to center for Missouri Western's first hit off of Washburn starter Josh Ramirez
  • With one out in the seventh, Curry tripled to start a string of seven-straight Griffons reaching base that gave the Griffons a 4-2 lead on a three-run inning
  • Wyatt Meyer gave MWSU the lead with a pinch-hit single in the seventh that drove in Josh Robinson
  • The Ichabods rallied with a six-run, six-hit eighth inning that put them on top 8-4
  • Missouri Western had six hits in the game and left seven runners on base
