WENATCHEE, Wash. – The Wenatchee AppleSox continued their chase for the top spot in the North Division with a 10-6 win against the Victoria HarbourCats Friday night.

It was the first time these two teams had met since the AppleSox won the deciding game of the opening round of the 2024 WCL Playoffs. They didn’t waste any time, scoring five runs in the bottom of the second to give themselves an early cushion, including a Jake Sanko home run.

Andrew Carter (TCU) started the game for the Cats and pitched into the second inning, where he was unable to record an out. The right-hander gave up four earned runs on four hits.

BOX SCORE

Shea Lake (West Texas A&M) replaced Carter and went 3-2/3 innings, giving up two runs on one hit, while striking out two and walking four.

The HarbourCats first started to claw their way back into the game when Cayden Munster (Fresno State) hit a sacrifice fly in the third inning to make it 5-1 to the Sox.
