Washington Drops First End of Doubleheader Sunday
TROY, NY. (May 21) – The Washington Wild Things dropped the front end of Sunday’s doubleheader in Troy, New York, 4-0 to the ValleyCats.
Not much happened offensively in the contest but what did came from Tri-City’s Trey Hair. He hit his first two home runs of the season, a three-run shot in the first and a solo homer in the fourth to account for all four ValleyCats runs. Washington had just three hits: one from Nick Gotta, one from Anthony Brocato and one from JC Santini. Washington’s only other baserunner, Andrew Czech, reached via walk.
Spencer Johnston tossed all six innings for a shortened complete game. He allowed the four runs on the two homers that were two of six hits for Tri-City. He struck out six and walked one. Rafi Vazquez was the winner with a shutout. Vazquez allowed only three hits and a walk and fanned eight Wild Things.
Game two is underway in Troy at Joseph L Bruno Stadium.
