AppleSox Add Three Non-League Games to 2021 Schedule

AppleSox General Manager Allie Schank announced on Thursday the addition of two non-league opponents to the 2021 schedule. The AppleSox will host the Highline Bears on July 3 and the Northwest Star Academy on July 16 and 17.

The AppleSox’ 2021 schedule now consists of 54 games, 30 of which will be played at Paul Thomas Sr. Stadium.

“We’re excited to add two familiar opponents to our 2021 schedule,” Schank said. “We had a couple of weekends to fill in July and the Highline Bears and the Northwest Star Academy are two great organizations to welcome back to Wenatchee.”

The Highline Bears game on July 3 will also mark the return of the fan-favorite Fireworks Night. This will be the third straight season that Highline will visit Wenatchee. The Bears hail from just outside of Seattle and play in the Pacific International League. The AppleSox have defeated the Bears in each of their last three meetings (once in 2018 and twice in 2019).

The Northwest Star Academy will return to Wenatchee for the first time since 2018. Their team is made up of players from Oregon and Southwest Washington who are between their senior year of high school and freshman year of college. July 16 and 17 will mark the 10th and 11th times, respectively, that the Northwest Star Academy has faced the AppleSox in non-league play.

The AppleSox’ 2021 season begins on June 1 against the Nanaimo NightOwls. For tickets, please call 509-665-6900.
