O’FALLON, Mo. – River City scored seven runs in the bottom of the first inning and went on to defeat the Wild Things, 11-9, Sunday to complete a three-game series sweep at CarShield Field.

Jimmy Yezzo and Grant Fink each hit home runs for Washington. Chris Grayson had three singles and two stolen bases.

Luke Wilkins (2-5) was the losing pitcher. Joe Pavlovich (2-3) pitched into the sixth inning for River City.

Both of Pavlovich’s wins have come against Washington.
