The AppleSox were able to get three more runs in the bottom of the fifth to bring the defecit to three and after the Sweets answered with two more in the sixth, the AppleSox were able to tie the game thanks to a three run Nate Esposito home run and a 2 RBI AJ Alcantara double.

Cooper Hummel and Sean Bouchard came up with home runs in the eighth and ninth innings to give Walla Walla the lead and the eventual victory.

A new three game series with the Sweets starts tonight at Borleske Stadium. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 and Tom Zarosinski will be the starter for the AppleSox.
