sports@joplinglobe.com TOPEKA, Kan. — Another doubleheader, and another split for Missouri Southern’s baseball team. Coach Bryce Darnell’s Lions started quickly with five runs in the first inning en route to a 7-3 victory over Washburn on Saturday afternoon at Falley Field. MSSU also grabbed the lead in the nightcap before Washburn rallied for a 6-3 decision, giving the Lions a split for the second straight day and the third time in four MIAA twinbills. The Lions (8-18, 6-6 MIAA) have a home doubleheader against Southwest Baptist at 3 p.m. Tuesday at Joe Becker Stadium. Jeff Katchmar and Derek Ezell went 3-for-4 to lead the Lions’ 12-hit attack in the opener, and Cliff Wheeler contributed two hits. The Lions’ first six batters reached base in the first inning. Juan Hernandez doubled to right-center field leading off and stopped at third on C.J. Matthews’ single. Wheeler doubled down the left-field line to score Hernandez and advance Matthews to third. Ezell’s single up the middle scored a run before Kenny Hart walked to load the bases. Katchmar’s single to center scored Wheeler, and Ezell came home on a wild pitch to make it 4-0. Gabe Wyatt’s groundout scored Hart with the final run. Lions pitcher Matthew Mantle (2-2) tossed a six-hit complete game, allowing three unearned runs, walking one and striking out one. After Washburn pulled within 5-3, Mantle allowed just two hits in the final four innings. The Lions added a run in the fifth on Alec French’s RBI single and another in the seventh on Katchmar’s double down the left-field line. In the second game, Washburn’s Bryan Stroth (2-2) gave up two earned runs and eight hits in eight innings, fanned five and walked one.
