AppleSox Shut Out Lefties, Win Series
June 29, 2023 - West Coast League (WCL)
Wenatchee AppleSox News Release
Toby Haarer and Jack Moffitt combined to stymie the Port Angeles Lefties as the Wenatchee AppleSox picked up a 1-0 win on Thursday night at Paul Thomas Sr. Stadium.
The AppleSox' second shutout win of the summer helped them earn their sixth series victory and improve to 16-5. They remain a game out of first place behind Bellingham after the Bells defeated the Edmonton Riverhawks on Thursday night.
Haarer (3-1) stifled the Lefties' bats over 6.1 scoreless innings before departing with two men on and one out in the seventh. Moffitt entered and recorded a strikeout and induced a popout to get out of the jam. His only blemish in 2.2 scoreless innings was a two-out walk in the ninth that he stranded to earn his first save.
Austin Ohland plated the AppleSox' only run of the game with a sacrifice fly in the fourth inning. Marcus Harrison drew a one-out walk before Nick Putnam doubled to put runners at second and third. Harrison tagged and easily scored from third to give the AppleSox the only lead that they would need.
Wenatchee (16-5) hits the road to face Edmonton at 6:05 p.m. on Friday in the first game of a three-game road trip. The AppleSox return home Monday night to host the DubSea Fish Sticks on Fireworks Night presented by Kenady Real Estate Group. First pitch is at 7:05 and tickets can be purchased at AppleSox.com/2023-schedule.
