Ahern Added To All-Star Game

Wenatchee AppleSox right-hander Garrett Ahern has been added to the North Division’s roster for Wednesday’s West Coast League All-Star Game.

Ahern, an incoming sophomore at Grand Canyon, is 2-0 with a 3.13 ERA in five games. He has struck out 23, walked seven and allowed 22 hits over 23 innings. The AppleSox have won every game that he has pitched and he has tied the rubber four times after a loss.

The Gilbert, Ariz. native has recorded six strikeouts in a game twice, first in four innings against Bellingham in his season debut June 12 and again over four innings vs. Victoria July 3. Ahern tossed a season-high 5.2 innings vs. Edmonton last Wednesday in his most recent start.

Ahern joins Evan Canfield, Jonathan Fitz, Max Hartman and Quincy Vassar as AppleSox representatives in Bellingham at the All-Star Game. First pitch is at 6:35 and the game will be televised on MLB Network, MLB TV and MLB.com
