 Windy City used a big six run eighth inning on Saturday night to defeat the Washington Wild Things 10-2 at CONSOL Energy Park in Washington, PA.
The ThunderBolts went on top for good in the third when a Denny Duron error allowed Kent Gerst, who had doubled and Mike Sullivan, who had grounded into a fielder’s choice, to score. Washington answered in the fourth when Luis Rivera tripled and scored on a groundout to cut the Windy City lead to 2-1.
After the Bolts added another run in the fifth, Washington answered again with a Chris Sidick solo home run in the bottom of the inning. That was all the scoring Washington would do, though. After Zach Rosenbaum had allowed four runs in 5+ innings, the Wild Things bullpen imploded in the eighth.
