AppleSox Look To Bounce Back vs Bells
/
The Wenatchee AppleSox continue their three-game series against the Bellingham Bells tonight at 6:35 p.m. Joe Martin Field.
The AppleSox fell back to .500 with a 7-0 loss last night. It marked the first time that Wenatchee was shut out this summer. Last night was also the first time that the AppleSox lost the first game of a three-game series since falling on Opening Night at Bend on June 4.
Wenatchee was done in by a couple of big innings as it gave up three runs in the third and then three more in fifth before allowing a final run in the seventh. The AppleSox committed two errors and only collected five hits, tied for their fewest in a game this summer. Michael Davinni was one of the lone bright spots, going 2-for-4 to record his fifth multi-hit game of the year and extend his hitting streak to 10 games.
Quincy Vassar makes his second start of the summer tonight for the AppleSox as they look to even up the series. He punched out eight Port Angeles Lefties in six scoreless innings on June 7. The southpaw and incoming junior at Vanguard picked up a no decision but the AppleSox rallied to score five runs in the bottom of the seventh after he exited and they won, 5-0. Vassar made his debut on June 4 against Bend by tossing 1.2 scoreless innings before the lights went out at Vince Genna Stadium and the game was suspended and resumed the next day. Vassar finished out the eighth inning before giving up two hits in the ninth before exiting and both runners came around to score after he left.
Bellingham counters with Randy Abshier, an incoming junior at Arizona. The left-hander did not pitch this spring but posted a 2.91 ERA in 20 appearances, all in relief, in 2021. He struck out 26, allowed 22 hits and walked 11 in 21.2 innings. Abshier pitched for the Mat Su Miners in the Alaska League in the summer of 2019 and was an All-Star Game starting pitcher while recording a 1.52 ERA in 10 games.
