John Calhoun drove in four of the five Washburn runs in the first two innings as the Ichabods took game two by a 5-2 tally.

Calhoun went the opposite way in the top of the first for a solo shot and took that same route in the second with a three-run blast.

Brad Alberts was a perfect 4-for-4 with a pair of doubles and drove in the other run. Kerry Schachemeyer (2-0) pitched six innings and AJ Green collected the save while Logan Siegler went the distance for Truman striking out seven but allowing 11 hits.
