Home runs, Kirby’s pitching spark Wild Things
JOLIET, ILL. – Pavin Parks hit a three-run homer in Washington’s four-run first inning and the Wild Things went on to a 6-2 victory over the Joliet Slammers on Wednesday night.
Winning pitcher Zach Kirby (7-5) allowed two hits and one run over six innings, and Charles Mack and Andrew Czech added solo home runs for the Wild Things, who remain one game behind first-place Lake Erie in the Central Division standings with four games remaining in the regular season.
