TOWNSEND IMPROVING
After allowing six earned runs in an inning and two thirds at Gresham 6/22 in his AppleSox debut, Townsend has only allowed one earned run in each of his last two starts...both starts were against non-league teams (River City and Highline)...this will be Townsend’s first start against a league team since 6/22 at Gresham.

MASCOT NIGHTS... AND THE MASCOTS DON’T MATCH THE NAMES
