Postseason Home Game Tonight
August 10, 2022 - West Coast League (WCL)
Wenatchee AppleSox News Release
The Wenatchee AppleSox return to Paul Thomas Sr. Stadium to face the Kamloops NorthPaws in Game 2 of the North Division Series Semifinals tonight at 6:35.
A Wenatchee victory tonight sends them to this weekend's singular North Division Championship Game. The winner of this series will face the winner of the Victoria-Bellingham series. Bellingham took Game 1 on the road last night.
If the AppleSox lose tonight then they will face the NorthPaws in a do-or-die Game 3 tomorrow night at 6:35 at Paul Thomas Sr. Stadium.
Wenatchee sends Quincy Vassar to the mound hoping to advance to the next round. He's the second straight Brewster native to start for the AppleSox in as many days. Vassar finished fifth in the WCL with 45 strikeouts over nine games this summer. The southpaw went 2-3 with a 4.74 ERA but tossed five-or-more innings in five-of-seven starts.
One-of-the-two games that Vassar didn't toss five innings in was against the NorthPaws on July 19. The lefty struck out six and only allowed one hit in four shutout innings vs Kamloops and was pulled with the AppleSox ahead 13-0.
Colby Ring tosses for the NorthPaws in a must-win game. He went 2-2 with a 5.81 ERA in 11 games (9 starts) in the regular season. The left-hander from Antelope Valley struck out 34, walked 32 and allowed 40 hits in 38.2 innings this season.
Ring pitched against Vassar back on Aug. 3 and the AppleSox scored 11 runs (eight earned) on seven hits and three walks in 2.1 innings against him. He twice tossed six shutout innings against the Edmonton Riverhawks this year.
Tickets to tonight's game are available now at saferseating.com and fans are encouraged to beat the lines for walk-up ticket sales by purchasing their seats in advance online.
