HarbourCats Hit One More Homer Than AppleSox, Take Series

Izzy Lopez launched his second home run in the last three days but the Wenatchee AppleSox fell to the Victoria HarbourCats, 4-3, on Saturday night at Royal Athletic Park.

Lopez launched a two-run homer in the top of the fourth to tie the game up. He hammered the second pitch that he saw over the left-field fence to plate two runs. Lopez previously homered on Thursday night and his blast was the AppleSox’ seventh of their road trip and 20th of the summer.

Victoria took the series behind two home runs from Tyler Davis. He launched a solo shot to lead off the third inning after Tripp Clark’s RBI single in the first inning. Davis added another blast with a man aboard in the seventh to break a 2-2 tie and move one long ball back of matching the out put from AppleSox first baseman Easton Amundson, who played his final game of the summer last Sunday, for the WCL lead.

The HarbourCats go for the series sweep on Sunday when they face the AppleSox at 1:05. Wenatchee has yet to lose three consecutive games or be swept this season.
