Bommers batter Wild Things

Talk about a rough start.
The Washington Wild Things signed pitcher Zack Tillery Saturday and started him against the Schaumburg Bombers Saturday night.
Tillery lasted 1 1/3 innings and gave up six runs, all earned, in Washington’s 7-4 loss to Schaumburg in a Frontier League game.
David Harris hit a three-run home run in the bottom of the first inning and the Bombers scored three more runs in the second inning to put the game out of reach early. The big hit in the inning was a two-run double by Zach Weigel.
The Wild Things scored a run in the second on a Kenny Peoples-Walls triple and another in the fourth on a bases-loaded walk to Alex Fernandez.
Schaumburg made it 7-2 on a balk that scored Harris in the fifth inning.
Kyle Pollock hit a solo home run in the sixth and Trevor Sonnier scored on a wild pitch for Washington.
Tillery, who played his college ball at Florida Gulf Coast University, was released
earlier this season after spending four seasons of minor-league ball within the
Minnesota Twins’ organization.
Between two rookie-ball teams in 2014, he had an earned run average of 2.37 in 38 innings. Tillery spent two full seasons and part of another with the Cedar Rapids Kernels, the Twins’ A-ball team.
At FGCU, Tillery had a career earned run average of 3.94 in 33 appearances
spanning three years. Tillery tossed 96 innings and had a strikeout to walk total of 56-33.
No corresponding move will be made to activate Tillery, as he is the 24th man on
the Wild Things’ roster.
