FLORENCE, KY - The Washington Wild Things responded to last night's loss by pounding out 18 runs on 13 hits and drawing 14 walks, racing their way to a win by a final of 18-6 to even the series in Florence.

Wagner Lagrange paced the Washington offense with a 4-for-4 night with four runs, five RBI and a double and drew a walk in the win. Tristan Peterson hit a home run and drove in four, while Melvin

Novoa added three RBI and Robert Chayka knocked in two.

In all, seven Wild Things posted at least a hit and six drove in at least a run. Seven drew at least one walk, with Abraham Sequera walking four times to lead the charge.

seventh. The fourth was highlighted by a Chayka RBI knock, the fifth by Peterson's two-run bomb, a two-run single by Novoa and a bases-clearing, three-run double from Wagner Lagrange. The sixth featured three runs scoring on bases-loaded walks and the seventh inning tally came on a Lagrange sac fly.

Florence scored in the fourth on a Brennan Price solo shot, scored twice in the fifth and once in the sixth and seventh innings after that.
