ON A ROLL
The AppleSox have won three-straight games and four of their last five...last season the team’s longest winning streak was a four-game stretch at home from June 11-15...Wenatchee has a chance to tie that mark tonight...the current three-win streak is tied for the third-longest streak against the HarbourCats..the last time the AppleSox took three-straight from Victoria was July 31, 2014-June 21, 2015...twice the AppleSox have won 4-straight...the first time was to start the series July 2, 2013-July 19, 2013...the other Aug. 5, 2013- July 29, 2014...Wenatchee collected its only sweeps over Victoria in the series during those two stretches.

BROOMS AT THE READY
Tonight, Wenatchee is trying to do something it hasn’t since 2015...the last Wenatchee AppleSox sweep was July 2-4, 2015 at home against the Klamath Falls Gems...last season, the AppleSox were swept five times without dusting up one of their own.

JOHNSON & SHIRER RACK UP THE HITS
