Washington, Pa - According to officials at CONSOL Energy Park, the Chicago White Sox have released Darian Sandford, who will return to The Washington Wild Things, presented by Washington Financial.

Sandford split his time in 2012 between the Southern Illinois Miners and the Wild Things, scoring a combined 70 runs on 89 hits with 25 RBI and set the frontier league single season record with 71 stolen bases.

"Darian had a very good spring with the White Sox and he spent every inning playing second base," said Bart Zeller, Wild Things' field manager. He is one of the fastest outfielders in the league and his record in stolen bases for the Frontier League opened a lot of people's eyes. We are excited about having him at the top of our order."
