Fourth of July Weekend Starts Tonight
July 1, 2022 - West Coast League (WCL)
Wenatchee AppleSox News Release
The Wenatchee AppleSox continue their six-game homestand by welcoming the Bend Elks to Paul Thomas Sr. Stadium tonight for a 6:35 p.m. game.
The AppleSox are coming off a 13-0 win over the Kelowna Falcons to give them their sixth win in the last nine games and their third consecutive series victory. Grant Sherrod hit a home run and scored all four times that he reached base and Wenatchee recorded its second shutout victory of the summer.
This is the first time that the AppleSox have faced the Elks since losing two-of-three games a month ago to begin the season at Vince Genna Stadium. The AppleSox lost all three games and were twice walked off after holding leads late in both instances.
Offense was the theme of that season-opening series. Bend outscored Wenatchee 37-27 in the series and have kept scoring ever since then. The Elks leads the West Coast League with 248 hits, are tied for first with 178 runs and are second with a .285 batting average. Elijah Jackson is leading the way for the Elks and is sixth in the WCL with a .373 batting average. He picked up the walkoff hit against the AppleSox in the season-opener and was 4-for-10 at the plate against the AppleSox.
The weekend opener is being sponsored by the Comfort Suites Wenatchee Gateway. Tickets are available at saferseating.com and gates open at 5:30 p.m.
If you can't make it to the game you can still listen live on 98.1 FM in the Wenatchee Valley or on your phone or computer at kcsyfm.com.
