The Wenatchee AppleSox travel to British Columbia tonight to face the Victoria HarbourCats in Game 2 of the North Division Series at 6:35 at Royal Athletic Park.

Jadon Williamson tossed 7.1 innings out of the bullpen and Frankie Carney went 2-for-4 but the AppleSox could not take the series opener.

Monson last pitched on July 28, tossing 3.2 innings of scoreless relief.

Monson pitched once against Victoria,
