The Portland Pickles got the road sweep after defeating the AppleSox, 17-8, on Thursday night at Paul Thomas Sr. Stadium.

The Sox offense broke out and scored eight runs off 13 hits. Wenatchee scored all its runs in the seventh and eighth innings, including scoring five times in the seventh. Zach Toglia and A.J. Guerrero both entered the game midway through and impressed with their performances. Toglia went 2-for-2 to collect at least one hit in all seven games that he has played in this summer. Guerrero made his debut by collecting a double in his first at-at in an AppleSox uniform and then by adding two walks and a single off the bench.

Portland hit two homers for the third straight night and cashed in on a nine-run fourth inning to hand the AppleSox their sixth straight loss.

On the bump, Gavin Gorrell delivered in his first action out of the bullpen. Gorrell pitched two clean frames with only one walk and three punchouts. Sox pitchers struck out 14 Pickles on Thursday night, the second time they got the Pickles to whiff at least 14 times during their trip to Wenatchee.

Looking ahead, Wenatchee takes a break from WCL action as they welcome the Highline Bears. The Bears and AppleSox will play Friday and Saturday night at 7:35 p.m. Tickets are available at applesox.com/tickets.
