Pinch hitter Mark Hummel hit a ground ball, which bounced off the glove of Ichabod second baseman Dominic Florez into center field, allowing Berblinger to score the winning run from third base.
"I thought he made a good play to get to the ball," Washburn coach Steve Anson said. "He just didn't complete the play."
Kansas, 14-14, will have two days off before its next game. The Jayhawks will play Kansas State in a weekend at Hoglund-Maunin Stadium.
Kansas entered the ninth inning tied 6-1 with Washburn. Designated hitter Jeff Spencer reached first base on an error by Ichabod first baseman Brian McDaneland was replaced with Berlinger. Kansas first baseman Jim Hanna followed with his second single of the game, putting Kansas runners at first and second with no outs.
However, third baseman Jim Utt grounded into a double play, bringing Hummel to the plate.
"I was just trying to get a hit." Hummel said. "One run wins the game, so I don't need to hit a home run."
Washburn had a 6-3 lead after five innings. In the bottom of the sixth, Kansas took advantage of an error and a batter who was hit and scored three runs, tying the game.
Left fielder Steve Meeks was hit by Mark Valasquez's first pitch of the inning. After shortstop Kevin Marrozaz flied out to second, right fielder Jim Walker hit an infield single, allowing Meeks to go to third. Center fielder Pat Karlin also hit an infield single, but McDaneid couldn't handle the throw at first and the ball sailed into the right field foul territory.
Before an Ichobad could come up with the ball, Meeks and Walker scored and Karlin went to third. Karlin scored on second baseman Mike Bard's sacrifice fly to shallow center field.
Kansas reliever Curtis Shaw pitched three innings and picked up his fourth win of the season. Shaw was a nice starter for one Ichabod batter to reach base.
"We were trying to get into a spot where Shaw could win it for us," Kansas coach Dave Bingham said. "I think our guys relaxed a bit when it
was 6-6 and we had Shaw out there."
In hopes of giving his starters some rest before the weekend series with K-State, Bingham only used two regular starters.
"We're a little tired," Bingham said. "For the most part they did a great job. We've got to develop more
kids if we're going to stay in the Big Eight race."

The Kansas men's and women's tennis teams had little trouble dispatching their Missouri counterparts, as the Jayhawks rolled to 9-0 victories in Columbia.
Kansas tennis
The Missouri tennis teams could serve only doughnuts yesterday during their Big Eight Conference matches with Kansas.
Kansas results
The women's team has won its last four matches and has a record of 2-0 in Big Eight Conference play. The Tigers have had five wins and 5-1. The Tiggers fall to 4-8 overall.
Kamas' singles players defeated their opponents in straight sets. Renee Raychaudihuri shut out Missouri's Jennifer Kuester 6-0, 6-0, at home and beat Minnesota's singles, Mindy Felz and Laura Hagemann also shut out their opponents.
"We played well and we left town," Kansas women's coach Michael Center said. "I think everybody expected the score to be 9-0. Everybody played really well."
Center said this weekend's Big Eight matches would be pivotal to the Jahywah' spring success. Kanter and Jabri were among those at Nebraska on Sunday at home.
1 think these matches are going to be tight," he said. "We have to come ready to play. These are the teams on top of the Big Eight Conference."
On the men's side, Coach Scott Perelman was correct with his prediction of a shutout.
"Overall, I was pleased with the whole team," he said. "I really thought the guys handled this so well."
Kansas is 9-8 and 1-0 in conference play. The Jayhawks have won three straight matches.
The Tigers, winness in 12 matches, do not have any available scholarship money for their tennis program. Perelman attributed Kansas's victory partly to Missouri's financial misfortunes.
"They do not have any scholarships," he said. "And we were just clearly that much better than them."
The Jayhawks did not need a third set to defeat their opponents. Chris Walker, Kansas' No. 3 players play, beat Missouri's Joe Fackel 6-3, 6-4.
In other Jayhawk singles matches, Jeff Gross (No. 2), Rafael Rangel (No. 4) and Paul Garvin (No. 6 each) met their two matches by a love score.
Garvin said he is eager to play Nebraska on Sunday. Kansas beat the Cornhuskers 5-4 last fall.
"Nebraska always looks forward to beating us," he said.
"It was probably one of our easier matches of the season," Garvin said. "They don't have scholarships and are not funded, so they are at a disadvantage. We are better off than they are in that way."

TUBBS RUMOR: According to an article published in yesterday's St. Louis Sun, Oklahoma basketball coach Billy Tubbs is leaving the Sooners to become head coach of the Los Angeles Clippers, although head coach Done Casley has not announced plans to leave.
Sports briefs
In an article written by Sun sportswriter Tom Shatel, the rumors about the move were circulating at the Radisson Hotel, NCAA tournament headquarters for the National Association of Basketball Coaches, in downtown Denver.
Oklahoma Sports Information Director Mike Treps denied the report by telephone last night.
According to Shatel's sources, Tubbs, who is in Palm Springs, Calif., was seen last week dining at a house of Clippers' owner Donald Sterling.
Todd Saviers, reporter for the Daily Oklahoma in Oklahoma City, said the rumor was false. He said a

where I came from," Vaughn said "They serve as motivation."
Vaughn said he had learned much from his early teen-age years. He considers himself fortunate to be able to guide others away from those experiences.
Vaughn said Stewart's view of gangs differed from his own
"He was saying some gang members are 'bad seeds,' that they can't be helped," Vaughn said. "In my speech, I said, 'All bad seeds deserve a second chance.' There is a chance to start over."
The media picked up Vaughn's story after he testified at the Senate hearing. Scull said he was approached by Kaplan Productions, which wanted to make a movie based on Vaughn's life.
National attention
Seull turned down the production company's offer after consulting NCAA attorneys. Vaughn, who is not related to former Kansas wide receiver Willie Vaughn, already had received a football scholarship from Washington that he had feited his eligibility if he accepted the offer.
"It surprised me," he said. "No way in the world did I ever think it would go this far. Then I got scared about my whole life flashing on television. So it was a scary, exciting feeling."
"We couldn't risk the movie deal." Scull said. "It wasn't worth it. Robert was getting a free education."
Bob Evans, athletic director at Yorkville High School, said Vaughn's story was worthy of public attention.
Vaughn was not enthusiastic.
"Coming from the background he had, he is a television story within himself." Evans said.
After Vaughn ran from the Insane Deuces, he just kept running.
Football opens doors
However, Vaughn could have been declared ineligible for football his senior year. With the aid of attorney Dallas Ingemunson, Vaughn fought a court injunction that tried to prevent him from compete in college sports. According to Illinois High School Athletic Association rules, they cannot compete if they turn 19 after Aug. 15.
Jason Stallman, a Kansas tight end and the Yorkville captain during Vaughn's junior season, said the publicity that surrounded Vaughn at Yorkville did not bother his high school teammates.
He joined the Yorkville High football team in his sophomore year, and as a senior tailback, Vaughn rushed for 1,464 yards and a school record 23 touchdowns during a 10-1 season.
"If we had to possibly forfeit, he wouldn't have participated," said Robert Williams, Yorkville football coach. "But Robert always put everyone ahead of himself. And everyone rallied around him."
"We looked upon Robert as an athlete and a great addition to the team," he said. "He was a great motivator."
Vaughn was able to participate on the track team and ran the second leg of the 400-meter relay team. He qualified for the state meet in that event.
"We took his stand and took some pressure, but we did the right thing for a quality young community. We are real proud as a community."
Vaughn serves as an assistant
Evans said the town supported Vaughn.
supervisor for Youth Services in Aurora. In 1988, Vaughn was appointed the Illinois Juvenile Committee by Gov. James R. Thompson.
"Now I know how to focus leadership in a positive sense," Vaughn said of his two-year service on the committee.
Trust came slowly
Scull, who said he considered himself a big brother to Vaughn, advised him to use his speaking abilities to influence young people. But Vaughn initially did not trust Scull.
Scull said he was impressed with Vaughn's determination and choice to leave the gang. He bought Vaughn new shoes and a new wardrobe, confident that Vaughn would fulfill his potential.
For weeks after Scull introduced himself at a neighborhood playground. Vaughn went by the name of Jake. He thought he scull was a policeman
"I believed he was sincerely about getting out," scutted. "My family thought it was nuts for taking her to work, but he would clean out my house."
Robert Vaughn performs a step-up weight exercise before the spring football practice.
Vaughn, now nearly 6 feet tall and 191 pounds, was the only Black man in his city. First met him when he was 15 years old. 5 feet 8 inches and 130 pounds.
Vaughn attracted the attention of Kansas football coach Glenn Mason as a junior. Mason said his visit to Yorkville was memorable.
"Robert was known to be a very active gang member, but he was a capable con artist!" Sculi said. "I could picture him hurting any body."
"You should have seen our visit to his high school," Mason said. "Everybody we walked by said hello to Robert. Everybody knew
Robert Vaughn."
Growing up
Vaughn, the oldest of four boys in his family, was 12 when his father left home.
"It is very, very important
especially for young males, to have a father figure," he said. "Having a relative telling you something you want is the same as having a dad tell you."
Vaughn said he used drugs because he was not aware of the dangers of using them.
"But I have to blame myself," he said. "There is no reason to point the finger at the gang for my faults. But that is behind me. It is time to move on.
"As long as I help somebody, I don't mind." Vaughn said. "Even if it's only one person."
