Washington erupted for six unanswered runs over the final four innings to take a 7-3 victory from the Joliet Slammers Friday night in a Frontier League game.

Brailin Jackson hit a three-run home run in the top of the ninth to break open a still close game.

Washington trailed, 3-1, after five but Trevin Sonnier hit a two-run double and James Harris drove in a run with a single to give Washington a 4-3 lead.

Danny Zardin had a two-run double in the fourth for Joliet.

Meanwhile, the Wild Things added a left-handed pitcher yesterday, signinging Frank Trimarco.

Trimarco, a native of Merrick, N.Y., will be added to the roster tonight. No corresponding move will be made as Trimarco becomes the 23rd player on the Wild Things’ active roster.

Trimarco comes to the Wild Things from the Pecos League’s Tucson Saguaros, where he had a 3.14 earned run average and a 4-2 record in 14 appearances spanning 57.1 innings. He surrendered 60 hits and 23 runs (20 earned) while building a 59-10 strikeout-to-walk ratio.

The southpaw spent the previous four seasons in collegiate ball, pitching at Monmouth University.

In four years, Trimarco was 18-15 with a 4.64 ERA in 61 appearances (31 starts). He struck out 190 batters in 252 innings, and had a WHIP of 1.39.

He also played two summers with the Mystic Schooners of the New England Collegiate League.

In 2014, Trimarco was 4-3 with a 3.37 ERA in 34.2 innings.

In 2015, he only pitched 4.1 innings with the team.
