Ties in baseball?

The Wild Things and Lake Erie Crushers played to a 2-2 tie Saturday afternoon at All-Pro Freight Stadium in Avon, Ohio.

Much like the exhibition opener Friday night (won by Lake Erie 4-3) at Consol Energy Park, runs were hard to come by for the Wild Things but the pitching was very good. Washington used seven pitchers Saturday and they gave up only five hits with seven strikeouts.

The Wild Things led 2-1 in the eighth inning when Lake Erie used two singles, a hit batsman and wild pitch by Kurt Houck score to the tying run.

Mark McGonigle had two doubles among Washington's six hits.
