the 2012 season ushered in a new era for the washington wild things. gone was manager darin everson and in stepped chris bando and his coaching staff with years of experience in the major leagues. the wild things got off to a fast start in may, but an inability to produce runs in support of its pitching staff plagued the club in similar fashion as in 2011. june saw the wild things’ reliever nathan striz signed away to affiliated ball with the boston red sox. in nine appearances for the wild things this season, striz posted an era of 1.46, allowing just two earned runs in 12⅓ innings pitched. more impressive, striz struck out 17 batters in those 12 innings. gary lee was the wild things’ lone representative at the frontier league all-star game in july. the all-star nomination capped a big week for lee whose daughter was born a week earlier. throughout the year washington was led by a group of locals in andrew heck, rick devereaux and gus benusa. heck could be consistently found at the top of the batting statistics and when the season came to a close, was a nominee for the frontier league's rookie of the year award. heck also became just the second player in franchise history to play all nine positions in a single game. as the summer wore on the wild things continued to fall in the standings, but a boost to the struggling lineup came in the form of a late-july trade with the now-defunct london rippers. the trade sent four members to the wild things’ that provided a bigger presence that was felt in the wild things’ lineup. one of those acquisitions would go on to make frontier league history, as darian sandford became the single season stolen bases leader with 71. the acquisitions of sandford, mark samuelson, brad agustin and jim vahalik got the wild things’ playing .500 ball the rest of the way and was a key factor in the wild things finishing the season winning six of their last seven games. as the season came to a close, the wild things finished with a 44-52 record. gary lee added another accolade to his strong season as the winner of the fran riordan citizenship award. in march 2013, bando announced that due to complications from hip surgery in january he would resign as manager.
