On Prom Night from Console Energy Park, the Wild Things did what everyone aims to do on Prom Night. Take something home. In this case, the Wild Things took home a win.
The first three and a half innings were all slow jams for both teams, but in the bottom of the fourth, Washington blew the game wide open with a fast song. Shain Stoner singled to start the inning off. After Stewart Ijames flew out for the first out, Mark Samuelson drove Stoner in with an RBI double. Jovan Rosa then singled to put runners on the corners for CJ Beatty. Beatty took full advantage of having two men on and drove them in on a three-run home run.
The Rascals would finally get on the board with an RBI double in the top of the 6th. Curran Redal would drive in another run in the top of the 7th to bring the Rascals within two.
The Wild Things would add another run in the bottom of the eighth on a Beatty RBI double, his fourth RBI of the night, to bring the final score to 5-3.
Shawn Sanford pitched 6.2 great innings. Allowing two runs on seven hits. He struck out two batters and walked three on the night.
Beatty went 3-4 with a home run, double and four RBIs.
The two teams will square off again tomorrow night at 7:05. The first 1,000 fans will receive a team photo according to the team’s official website.
