AppleSox Add Three Non-WCL Games to 2020 Schedule
/The Wenatchee AppleSox have added three non-league games, one against the Highline Bears and two against the Cascade Collegiate League Showcase team, to their 2020 schedule.
With the addition of these three games, the AppleSox schedule now contains 57 games, 30 of which will be played at Paul Thomas Sr. Stadium. Last season, the AppleSox went 23-10 at home, league and non-league play combined.
Non-league games are effectively exhibition games and thus do not count against the AppleSox overall record. However, with 11 days off in June, the AppleSox wanted to fill the open days with as many home games as possible.
“Non-league games are an important part of our schedule,” general manager Ken Osborne said, “because we like to give our players as many opportunities as possible to prove themselves. Sometimes, these games are great for players who haven’t seen a lot of action in league play. Regardless, we love hosting as many home games as possible in the summer.
The Highline Bears will open up the AppleSox’ 2020 season with an exhibition game on June 4. This will be the third straight season that the AppleSox’ first home game is against a non-WCL foe. The Bears hail from just outside of Seattle and play in the Pacific International League.
The Cascade Collegiate League sends its showcase team to take on the AppleSox for the second consecutive summer. This past season, the CCL visited Wenatchee for exhibition contests on June 3 and July 31. This team will comprise of players from the CCL, a summer college baseball league which completed its first season this past summer.
