Washington's Late Comeback Falls Short in Series Opener

Washington Wild Things News Release
WASHINGTON, Pa. - The Washington Wild Things dropped the first game of their six game homestand 4-2 against the New Jersey Jackals after scoring for the first time in the bottom of the ninth and getting the tying run on and in scoring position in the frame after that.
Kobe Foster performed well once again pitching six complete innings giving up three runs on seven hits and striking out four along the way. It was Foster's fifth quality start of the season.
All of Foster's earned runs came via the long ball by the Jackals three times in the first three innings of this night-time matchup.
The Washington offense was silent through most of this one until a ninth-inning, two-run blast off the bat of Andrew Czech made it a 4-2 game. Despite the attempted comeback by the Wild Things, the offense couldn't finish the job. The game ended with the bases full.
Washington will look to get back on track tomorrow night in the middle game of their three-game series against the Jackals. Tomorrow is Senior Slugger Wednesday, presented by AARP Pennsylvania, with first pitch set for 6:05 p.m.
