AppleSox Drop Opening Game Against Bellingham

Wenatchee drops the opening game of a three-game home series against the Bells 5-1 Friday night. 

Kanoa Morisaki was responsible for the ‘Sox (27-22) two hits and went 2-3 in the loss, handed to starter Evan Canfield who went four innings giving up one run on two hits with two walks and four strikeouts. Brooks Pinski tossed a scoreless inning in relief. 

Canfield surrendered his only run in the first on a first-pitch solo homer by Gavin Long in the first inning, and the Bells did not look back.

Wenatchee picked up their only run in the ninth on a balk by Bellingham Reliever Colt Peterson. 

With a Kamloops loss Friday night, the AppleSox can clinch the wild card with a win against Bellingham, or another Kamloops loss. 

Wenatchee continues the three-game series Saturday.
