Wenatchee Looks To Extend Winning Streak Tonight At Nanaimo
/
The Wenatchee AppleSox aim for their sixth consecutive victory tonight as they face the Nanaimo NightOwls at 6:35 at Serauxmen Stadium.
Wenatchee earned its season-high matching fifth consecutive game of the summer last night with a 5-2 win over Nanaimo. That victory clinched the AppleSox’ ninth series win of the season and their fifth road series victory.
The AppleSox are now 13-4 away from home, surpassing last summer’s road victory total. They are looking for their fifth sweep of the season this evening.
Josh Williams launched two home runs last night to become the first AppleSox player to hit two home runs in a game since 2018. It was the AppleSox second multi-homer game of the season after Easton Amundson and Reeve Boyd both went deep on June 15 at Springfield. Wenatchee’s 15 home runs are third-most in the West Coast League.
Samuel Round only allowed one run in six strong innings last night to give the AppleSox their 21st game of the season in which a Sox starter has gone at least five innings. Wenatchee is 16-5 in those instances.
Toby Haarer looks to follow up Round with another solid start tonight. The incoming sophomore at Central Arizona is 3-1 with a 2.38 ERA, 18 strikeouts, 11 walks and 18 hits over 22.2 innings in five games (four starts). Haarer tossed 6.1 shutout innings in his last start on June 29 against Port Angeles to earn the victory. The right-hander struck out three, walked four and allowed four base hits.
Brian Veniard opposes Haarer as Nanaimo looks to salvage the series. This will be his first start of the summer in his fourth appearance for the NightOwls. The right-hander has no record with a 2.45 ERA, one strikeout, four hits and four walks over 3.2 innings. He gave up a run in the sixth inning on June 25 after tossing a scoreless fifth. Veniard walked two, allowed one hit and did not strike anyone out.
