Allah scored on runs of four and seven yards that put Charleroi (1-1) on top 15-6. He capped the scoring […]

Call it what you will. Speed and power. Thunder and lightning. Well … maybe not that considering the weather lately, but regardless, Wash High has a variety of weapons. A punishing runner in Trenton Grooms. Speed demons Ameer Nelson and JaQuay Heyman. And an all-purpose back in Jamarie Walker that has a little bit of […]

The Washington Wild Things took home the series opener Friday night against the Schaumburg Boomers on a historic night for the Frontier League. The Wild Things won 9-2 and saw Anthony Brocato hit his 37th home run to break a 28-year-old Frontier League single-season record. Brocato’s home run opened the bottom fo the first inning […]

Washington had a division title locked up since Wednesday night and by the third inning Sunday so too did the Boomers. So, in the end, the contest was just another game in a 102-game season. But this sure isn’t the way you […]

Zach Kirby took a shutout into the seventh inning, Cole Fowler hit a solo home run and Isaias Quiroz drove in three runs as the Wild Things opened the Frontier League playoffs with an 8-3 victory over Florence on Wednesday night in Game 1 of a best-of-3 wild-card series at Thomas More Stadium. Game 2 […]

The Wild Things won the Frontier League’s Central Division title and top seed in the Midwest Conference playoffs by combining strong starting pitching with plenty of production from the middle of their batting order.
