The Washington Wild Things have come around as of late, making a strong run to the All-Star break, but is it too little, too late after a rough start to the 2015 season? Washington sent two players, Austin Wobrock and Tim Helisek, to the Frontier League All-Star game, but Helisek was unable to participate due to injury. Wobrock is a prime example of the Wild Things roller coaster first half as he started the season on an 0-for-18 slump, but recovered to represent the team as the only position ... Read More

There still may be a week left in July, but the Washington Wild Things earned a much-needed 6-3 victory over the Lake Erie Crushers on Thursday evening to avoid a three-game sweep and keep themselves in wild card contention. Washington (25-32) jumped out to an early 4-1 lead through two innings thanks to a three-run home run by David Popkins in the first and a solo home run in the second by Lee Orr. They then added two more in the fourth against Crushers starter Brad Zambron (2-4) when two ... Read More

The Washington Wild Things found themselves in a familiar hole on Wednesday night as starter Richie Mirowski allowed six runs over his only three innings in a 9-5 loss at CONSOL Energy Park. Mirowski (0-3) made his second start of the year since moving from the bullpen and couldn't get into a rhythm as he allowed three runs to score in the first with two out before getting a strikeout to end the inning. Mirowski then cruised through the second striking out three while hitting a batter, but ... Read More

Pittsburgh Pirates manager Clint Hurdle usually follows a loss with the quote "We'll shower this one off and get back at it tomorrow." Well, the Washington Wild Things need Niagara Falls to wash off Tuesday night's 17-3 debacle to the Lake Erie Crushers at CONSOL Energy Park. Washington starter Ernesto Zaragoza (5-4) couldn't get out of the first inning for the second time in six starts as he could not get any movement on his fastball allowing Lake Erie (22-30) to score seven runs on six ...

The Washington Wild Things bullpen reverted back to their early-2015 selves as a three-run lead in the ninth wasn't enough in a 7-5 loss to Joliet on Sunday afternoon at CONSOL Energy Park. The blown lead overshadowed a strong start by Wild Things righty Luke Wilkins, who posted eight innings of two-run, five hit ball while striking out three. Joliet (20-25) got on the board right away when Charlie White led off the game with a triple and scored on a Nate Roberts sacrifice fly. Wilkins ... Read More

Like last night, the Wild Things (18-24) scored the first run of the game via their leadoff hitter when Daniel Poma started things off with a double to right. C.J. Beatty moved him to third on a deep fly out to right and Scott Kalamar manufactured the run with a ground out to second. It was the only run Washington ... Read More

The Washington Wild Things took their first home series of the 2015 season as they defeated the Lake Erie Crushers 6-0 on Wednesday night at CONSOL Energy Park.

The Washington Wild Things finally had one go their way on Tuesday night as Daniel Poma hit a walk-off three-run home run to defeat the Lake Erie Crushers at CONSOL Energy Park. It looked as though the Wild Things (16-24) were on their way to yet another disappointing close defeat — 3-13 in one-run games this season — after blowing a 2-1 lead in the eighth inning, but this time Washington wouldn't go down for the count. With one out in the ninth, David Popkins laid off two close pitches ... Read More

The Washington Wild Things dropped to 4-14 at CONSOL Energy Park in 2015 as they dropped a doubleheader to the Frontier Greys on Sunday afternoon. Game 1 Kyle Vazquez (0-1) started off on the wrong foot in the first game of the twin-bill allowing three runs on two hits while walking two batters in the first inning. His command didn't improve over his final three innings of work as the right-hander allowed two more runs on four hits which inflated his ERA to 9.58 on the season. The ... Read More
