Grob Homers Again But Sox Fall to Sweets
/
Adam Grob homered for the second straight night but the Wenatchee AppleSox fell to the Walla Walla Sweets, 9-2, on Wednesday night at Paul Thomas Sr. Stadium.
Grob homered in the first inning Wednesday after homering in the seventh inning the night before to go deep in back-to-back at-bats.
Gavin Gorrell (0-2) started strong, retiring nine of the first 10 hitters, but ran into trouble in the fourth. Three runs came across that inning before four more scored in the fifth. He gave up seven runs on the evening with three of them earned.
After giving up the lead and trailing 3-2 going to the bottom of the fourth, the AppleSox loaded up the bases with two outs but stranded the bases loaded.
The AppleSox and Sweets will battle in the rubber match on Thursday night at Paul Thomas Sr. Stadium with first pitch at 6:35.
