EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Dariel Fregio and four relievers combined on a five-hitter, J.C. Santini drove in two runs and the Wild Things defeated Evansville 5-3 Tuesday night in a series opener at Bosse Field.
Washington did all of its scoring in the first five innings and forged a 5-0 lead.
The Wild Things scored twice in the first inning against Evansville starter Zach Smith (0-3). Santini had an RBI single in the third and Wagner Lagrange, who was activated off the injured list, drove in Carson Clowers in the fourth to make it 4-0.
Santini added his second RBI single in the fifth.
