Washington Wild Things News Release


WASHINGTON, Pa. - The Washington Wild Things (13-17) bounced back with a 6-3 win over the Ottawa Titans (12-17) to round out a three-game series Thursday. Justin Showalter had a quality start on the bump earning his second win of the season.

The righty got off to a rough start with a two-run first. Showalter then found his groove shoving six consecutive scoreless innings. The Titans started off fast capitalizing on an error. Sicnarf Loopstock flared a ball into right center with two runners in scoring position to immediately put the pressure on the Wild Things and give Ottawa a 2-0 lead.

Washington's offense answered quickly with a Nick Gotta leadoff double. A few productive outs closed the gap to 2-1. The Titans wouldn't see the lead again the rest of the night. The bottom of the second began with Andrew Czech roping a liner to the fence for another Wild Things' leadoff double. Robert Chayka kept the train rolling with an RBI single. Gotta nearly gave Washington the lead but a base-running mistake negated the go-ahead run from scoring only by only a few strides.

The Wild Things offense remained hot in the third. Scott Dubrule poked a leadoff single. He turned on the jets scoring all the way from first on a Melvin Novoa double earning Novoa his second RBI of the day. Wagner Lagrange joined the party with a single through the third-base hole. Czech rounded out the hit parade with an RBI single for the second Wild Things run of the inning. Washington takes the lead 4-2.

In the bottom of the sixth the Wild Things tacked on a few more with some help from the Titans defense. Two separate Ottawa throwing errors mixed with a Dubrule single extended the Washington lead to 6-2.

Ottawa made some noise with a run in the ninth but never truly threatened after the first in the game. Washington coasted to a 6-3 victory in the last game of the series.

Tomorrow the Washington Wild Things will look to continue their momentum against the Empire State Greys (7-22), who have lost 10 of their last 11. First pitch is at 7:05. Tickets and promotions for the weekend homestead in Washington are available at washingtonwildthings.com.
