Wild Things add another pitcher
The Wild Things announced Thursday the signing of pitcher Jon Bengard.
A Riverside, Calif., native, Bengard (6-5, 185) played two seasons in the Chicago White Sox system as a relief pitcher at the rookie level. He compiled a 3-1 record, 3.44 ERA, nine saves and struck out 64 in 55 innings. Bengard was 2-0 with a 2.76 and eight saves last year for Great Falls (Mont.) of the Pioneer League.
Bengard was Chciago’s 30th round draft pick in 2013 out of California Baptist, where he was 11-2 as a junior.
