The bats were hot early for Washington as they produced runs on a two-run blast by Wes Darvill in the first and then in the third a solo shot by Anthony Brocato. The offense would keep applying the pressure as they tacked on one more in the fourth on a designed double steal bringing Scotty Dubrule home. The Wild Things held an early 4-0 lead.
