Last Night: The AppleSox scored three runs without collecting a base hit in the top of the ninth inning to win their fourth straight game... Carson Boesel fired a scoreless seventh and eighth to earn the win before Stephen Hammergren got the final three outs for his first save... Wenatchee trailed 5-1 after six innings before plating two in the seventh and three in the ninth...
Free Passes: The AppleSox drew four of their six walks last night in the ninth inning to help lead the comeback... Wenatchee’s six free passes drawn matched Sunday for their most in a game this summer... Antonio Gianni led all Sox hitters with two walks drawn last night and he is tied with Fred Buckson for the team lead with four overall...
Double Play Balls: The AppleSox turned two double plays last night to end the third and seventh innings... Port Angeles has hit into four double plays in four games against Wenatchee... The AppleSox turned two double plays on Monday night in non-league action to end the fifth and seventh innings, respectively...
Hartman Leads The Way: Reigning WCL Player Of The Week Max Hartman recorded his fourth consecutive multi-hit game with two singles last night... The incoming junior at Washington State recorded seven hits over the weekend while batting leadoff in each of the AppleSox’ three wins against Port Angeles... Hartman had 17 multi-hit games this spring with the Cougs...
Streaking: A win tonight would give the AppleSox their fourth different win streak of at least five games against Port Angeles...
