Wild Things reunion?

When the Newark Bears host the Camden Riversharks in an independent Atlantic League game Tuesday, it will have the look of a Wild Things reunion. There will be five former Wild Things in the game, including four who played on Washington's 2004 team.

Playing for Camden are outfielder L.J. Biernbaum, catcher Randy McGarvey and pitcher Brendon Davis. Biernbaum is batting .214 with five doubles for the Riversharks, who lead the North Division with a 6-3 record. McGarvey is batting .200 and Davis has a 0-1 record, 3.60 ERA and five strikeouts in five innings pitched.

For Newark, which is 5-4, outfielder Jack Headley is batting. 250. Headley played for Washington in 2004, sat out the next two years and made the Bears' roster this spring. Peavey, the only one of the five who did not play for Washington in 2004 -- he was the Wild Things' third baseman last year -- also is batting .250.

Another player for Newark is Jason DiAngelo, a Peters Township High School graduate and former pitcher for West Virginia University. DiAngelo is the Bears' closer. He has three saves in four apperances and has not allowed an earned run.
