After completing a six-game homestand, the Wenatchee AppleSox hit the road to face the Port Angeles Lefties for a three-game series.

The Sox enter the weekend last in the North Division after dropping four of six games at Paul Thomas Sr. Stadium over the last week.

Meanwhile, the Lefties just dropped two of three to the Cowlitz Black Bears, but avoided a sweep on Thursday night by winning 12-4. Those 12 runs scored were the Lefties’ second-most in a game this season and the fourth time that they scored double-digit runs.

The first two games start at 6:35 p.m. and the series finale on Sunday starts at 1:05 p.m. All three games can be followed by listening live on the AppleSox Radio Network.
