Grob Homers, Doubles In Game-Winning Run vs CCL All-Stars

Adam Grob homered in the first inning and then doubled in the go-ahead run in the sixth inning to help lead the Wenatchee AppleSox to a 7-6 win over the Cascade Collegiate League All-Stars on Friday night at Paul Thomas Sr. Stadium.

The game was called after six-and-a-half innings due to the All-Stars being limited on the number of available pitchers.

Though Grob homered to dead-center in the first, Friday night did not get off to the start that the AppleSox wanted. The CCL All-Stars scored in each of the first three innings and took a 5-1 lead into the bottom of the fourth. The AppleSox began to chip away as Zach Toglia hit an RBI single in the fourth before Collin Villegas hit a three-run homer in the fifth to draw the AppleSox within one run.

Aidan Selfridge singled and stood at third base with two outs in the sixth when Garrett Cutting tied the game with a double to left-center. Grob followed with an opposite-field double into the right-field corner to give the AppleSox their first lead of the game.

Martin Haswell loaded up the bases before recording an out in the ninth but got all three outs in order to lock down the save with a scoreless inning.

Jeffrey Heinrich allowed a run in the fifth but struck out two and stranded a pair in the sixth to earn the victory.

The AppleSox look to take the non-league series on Saturday night when they face the All-Stars again at 6:35. Jack Lee is the probable pitcher for the AppleSox.
