WCL Season Cancelled, AppleSox Forge Onward

Yesterday would have marked the beginning of a new West Coast League season here in Wenatchee. However, due to the foreseeable delay in the ability to hold events in the Pacific Northwest with more than fifty attendees, the WCL has cancelled the 2020 season. 

Our team, the Wenatchee AppleSox, is still working to bring baseball to Wenatchee this summer under the condition that our counties, Chelan and Douglas, reach Phase 3 of Washington’s plan to safely reopen. 

When we return to the diamond, our focus will be on our 2020 AppleSox training camp, which will feature games weekly and will continue from the start of Phase 3 until mid-August. This new program will feature players from our existing 2020 roster, supplemented by local players. We will be releasing more information about the training camp within the next few days. We will continue offering youth AppleSox summer camps, and other community events, throughout the summer.  

While we are unable to bring baseball back to the stadium sooner, we are thrilled to announce that we will open the AppleSox concession stand in Paul Thomas Sr. Stadium as an outdoor café once Chelan and Douglas reach Phase 2. Please stay tuned for further announcements.
