Washington Wild Things News Release


FLORENCE, Ky. - Florence scored nine unanswered runs to take the finale of the series in a back-and-forth affair, 14-8. The loss drops the Wild Things to 9-11 before a six-game homestand starts Friday in Washington. The team won the series and has taken four of their last five.

Washington opened the game with two runs in the first inning to get the see-saw affair going. Nick Ward singled home Gabe Howell, who had singled and stolen second base. Ward scored on a double off the right field wall by Bralin Jackson. Florence got going with five runs in its half of the first inning. The first five batters to step in collected hits off Washington starter Daren Osby. Chad Sedio, Trevor Craport and Harrison DiNicola had run-scoring hits before Connor Crane hit a sac fly to plate a fourth run and Jordan Brower grounded home the fifth run of the frame.

The lead turned out to be short-lived for the Y'alls as Washington answered with four two-out runs in the second. Connor Perry doubled home the first run of the four, scored on a book-rule double by Ward, then Howell and Ward were plated by a Jackson double off the left-field wall this time and the Wild Things led 6-5. Osby got two zeroes, in the middle of which Washington added two in the third inning on an error and an RBI single by Perry.

The next four runs came in the bottom of the fourth for the Y'alls and chased Daren Osby from the contest. Luis Pintor singled home Brower, Sedio doubled home two more and Trevor Craport grounded home a run in the fourth. Florence added two in the fifth; one on a solo homer by Brower and the other on a run-scoring single by Pintor. The lead sat at 11-8 for the Y'alls after those two runs and would be extended to 13-8 in the sixth on RBI singles by DiNicola and Jackson Pritchard. A wild pitch scored a 14th run for the Y'alls in the seventh.

Washington couldn't scratch anything else across and fell in the contest and now moves on after winning the series to a weekend set at home with the Lake Erie Crushers. First pitch Friday on Fido Friday at Wild Things Park is slated for 7:05 p.m.
