Wild Things swept in twin bill
O’FALLON, Mo. – Washington saw its losing streak reach five games as the Wild Things were swept by River City in a Frontier League doubleheader Saturday, dropping the opener, 2-0, and the nightcap, 9-2.
Clint Freeman homered in the bottom of the second inning off hard-luck loser Matt Fraudlin in the opener for the only run the Rascals (33-37) would need.

Austin Warner scattered six hits in five innings to get the win as Washington stranded seven base runners compared to three for River City.
In the nightcap, Tim Koons limited the Wild Things to two hits over seven innings, striking out five.
Robby Enslen homered and drove in four runs for River City, which had 11 hits off four Washington pitchers.
Brian O’Keefe took the loss for the Wild Things, allowing six runs, all earned, in three innings. Austin Wobrock and Grant Fink had the hits for Washington.
