The Washington Wild Things moved to the brink of elimination with an 8-6 loss to the Quebec Capitals in Game 3 of the Frontier League Championship Series on Friday night.
Washington looks to even the best-of-five set in Game 4 at 7:05 p.m. Saturday in Quebec City.
The Wild Things started off hot thanks to a two-run homer from Tyreque Reed and a solo shot from Brandon McIlwain to take a 3-0 lead by the second inning.
Tommy Caufield continued the scoring with a home run of his own in the third, followed by an RBI double from Jalen Miller.
Caleb McNeely joined in with a solo shot in the top of the fourth.
While the bats were hot, Washington wasn’t able to silence the Quebec offense and it proved to be the difference.
The Capitales belted four home runs while also driving in runs by way of two RBI singles and two sacrifice flies, scoring three runs in the bottom of the seventh to take the lead for good.
