Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 Topeka, Kan. - The Southwest Baptist University pitching was once again dominant on Saturday afternoon, shuting out Washburn in the baseball double-header 4-0 and 5-0. The Bearcats recieved complete game shut-out efforts from Dustin Caplette and Zack Winchester as they now move to 16-19 (14-14 MIAA).

In the game one victory, the Bearcats quickly jumped out ahead in the top of the first inning. Landon Young led the game off with a single to right field, and was brought home two batters later by an rbi double from Spencer Blacksher to put SBU up 1-0. The Bearcats would go on to load the bases in the same inning where Ross Wolfe would draw a bases loaded walk to give the Bearcats a 2-0 lead. SBU added two more runs in the top half of the seventh inning when Bo Helsel singled through the right side with the bases load to extend the lead to 4-0. The four runs were plenty for starting pitcher Dustin Caplette, as he went on to throw a three-hit shutout while also striking out four batters on the evening.
