WASHINGTON, PA - The Washington Wild Things were matched up against the fourth-place Frontier Greys on Friday, June 19. The Greys took a twelve-inning thriller by the score of 2-1 after coming back from a 1-0 deficit.

Shortstop Austin Wobrock gave his pitcher a lead in the bottom of the seventh when he doubled down the first base line to score designated hitter David Popkins.
