WASHINGTON, Pa. - The Normal CornBelters, presented by Illinois Corn Farmers, ended a two-week road trip with a 5-0 loss to the Washington Wild Things on Sunday night at CONSOL Energy Park.
The Wild Things scored first thanks to a leadoff walk and a throwing error from Belters pitcher Tyler Stovall led to an unearned run, giving Washington a 1-0 lead after two innings. Washington added a run with their first hit, a solo home run by Rick Devereaux just over the right field wall.
Washington added a run in the fourth when the first two hitters singled, and one scored on a double play to increase the hosts' lead to 3-0.
The Wild Things made it 5-0 in the seventh on a misplayed ball in right field and a wild pitch to score one run, followed by an RBI double.
Gary Lee (1-2) picked up the win while Tyler Stovall (1-3) was saddled with the loss. The CornBelters fall to 5-14 as the Wild Things improve to 9-11.
