WASHINGTON, Pa. - The Washington Wild Things dropped the middle game against the Broxton Rox,14-7 at EQT Park Saturday night after a tight one was busted open by Brockton with a seven-run seventh inning.
In the top of the second inning, Brockton jumped to an early 4-0 lead after Tommy Kretzler and Scott Seeker hit back-to-back home runs on back-to-back pitches. Kretzler's was a three-run shot to left field and Seeker's a solo shot to center field. The Wild Things answered in the bottom of the fourth with an RBI groundout by Wagner Lagrange that scored Anthony Brocato from third and a base hit to right field by Cole Fowler to score Andrew Czech from second.
