Apodaca and Guerrero Go Deep In Sox' Win Saturday
/Enzo Apodaca and A.J. Guerrero launched home runs in the AppleSox’ 14-8 win over the Highline Bears in front of Saturday night’s capacity crowd at Paul Thomas Sr. Stadium.
The AppleSox took both games from the Highline Bears by hitting multiple home runs in consecutive games to secure the two-game sweep. Apodaca led off the fifth with a solo shot to right and Guerrero hit a two-run blast in the sixth. Guerrero led all players with four runs driven in after adding a 2-RBI single in the eighth.
Cam Liss excelled in relief, tossing three shutout innings. He labored in the third inning by loading the bases with one out but stuck out each of the final two hitters of the inning for a scoreless first inning of work. Liss would strike out four more, including the side in order in the fourth.
Highline scored four in the top of the first to take an early lead but the Sox responded with consecutive four-run frames of their own to take a lead that they would not relinquish.
The AppleSox return to action on Tuesday night in Port Angeles for the first-of-three against the Lefties at 6:35 p.m. Listen to the action on 93.9 FM and on other translators on the AppleSox Radio Network.
