AppleSox Fall to Edmonton

Wenatchee falls 9-1 to the Edmonton RiverHawks Thursday evening. The loss snaps a seven-game winning streak. 

Cade Martinez, who took home the Tommy Wantanabe award before the game, went 2-5. Izzy Madriaga went 1-3 and drove home the only run for the ‘Sox (25-19).

Alec Johnson is the losing pitcher after pitching two innings giving up a run on a hit with a strikeout. Aidan (eye-don) Gonzalez pitched four innings giving up five runs on five hits with a walk and five strikeouts. After surrendering a Grand Slam, Gonzalez finished his outing by sending down the final 10 batters he faced. Owen Firestone tossed two scoreless innings, but gave up three runs on two hits with three walks and a strikeout over the course of his three-inning outing. 

Gonzalez gave up the Grand Slam in the third inning, which made it a 6-0 game. Wenatchee did not score until the seventh on the Madriaga single to score Martinez.
