Florence Y'alls News Release
Florence, KY. - After losing the first two ball games of the series, the Florence Y'alls hosted the Washington Wild Things in the midweek finale of a three-game set.
The WildThings started hot out of the gate in the first. In the top half, Washington plated two on three consecutive hits from Gabe Howell, Nick Ward and a double from Bralin Jackson.
The Y'alls responded, plating five of their own in the bottom half of the first off of Washington starter Daren Osby. It started with a Taylor Bryant double followed by Luis Pintor, Chad Sedio, Trevor Craport and Harrision DiNicola all singling and scoring three runs in total. Connor Crane followed tallying an RBI as well on a sacrifice fly and Jordan Brower drove a run in on a ground out to first, making it 5-2 after one inning.
The runs continued in the second with Washington plating four more of their own. After an error by Florence right fielder Chad Sedio allowed Cody Erickson to lead off the inning reaching first, the WildThings took advantage. After Starter Jonaiker Villalobos got the next two Washington batters out, Connor Perry doubled in one run, Gabe Howell walked setting up Nick Ward and Bralin Jackson who both had RBI knocks.
In the third the Wild Things tacked on, adding two more off of Villalobos. Cody Erickson drove in one with a sacrifice fly. Following that Connor Perry singled in another making it 8 to 5 in favor of Washington.
The Y'alls woke up and piled it on in the fourth, fifth and sixth. Scoring four in the fourth and then two in both the fifth and sixth. Big RBI hits from Luis Pintor and Chad Sedio and an RBI from Trevor Craport helped Florence pull ahead 9-8 after four.
In the fifth, Florence scored two. Jordan Brower lined his first homer of the season to right for a solo shot, and Jackson Pritchard drove in another. Brower ended the night with two RBIs and four hits in five at-bats.
One inning later, Florence scored two more thanks to two more RBI knocks from DiNicola and Pritchard, making it Florence 13, Washington 8.
The Y'alls tacked on one more in the seventh.
The Y'alls bullpen was impressive with Alex Wagner (who earned the win), Evy Ruibal, Karl Cragie and Joe Dougherty all delivering goose eggs for Florence, as the Y'alls rolled to the victory. 14 to 8 the final.
