Sox Fall in Game 2 Against Pippins

YAKIMA, WA - Two big innings catalyzed the Yakima Valley Pippins’ 8-3 win over the Wenatchee AppleSox on Saturday night at Yakima County Stadium.

An inning later, Kodie Kolden doubled in Brett Gillis after Gillis walked with one out. The Sox were down by one at this point, but the Pippins recorded a big sixth inning to knock off the AppleSox for the second consecutive night.
