Coming off Championship Season, WCL Reveals Wenatchee’s 2027 Schedule

After a championship season, AppleSox baseball is returning soon to the Wenatchee Valley. On Tuesday, November 10th, the West Coast League announced its upcoming schedule for the 2027 season.

The ‘Sox are slotted to play 54 games this season, with 27 at Paul Thomas and 27 on the road. They’ll face all six North Division opponents and four South Division clubs in the Springfield Drifters, Walla Walla Sweets, Yakima Valley Pippins and WCL runner-ups Corvallis Knights. Additional non-league bouts to be announced by the club in the coming weeks. 

The AppleSox open their season on the road for the second year in a row. They’ll head up north for a six-game away swing, with their season opener taking place against Kamloops on June 1st, followed by a three-game set against Kelowna. 

Wenatchee’s schedule features two six-game homestands this season, the first of which kicks off with the AppleSox’s home opener. The gates to Paul Thomas Sr. Stadium will open on June 8th to welcome the Victoria Harbourcats to the Apple Capital of the World for opening night.

Soon after, Wenatchee’s rival, the Bellingham Bells, will come to town for the second half of the homestand before the ‘Sox head out to Vancouver Island for another six-game away swing, where they will face the Harbourcats once again, followed by the Nanaimo NightOwls.

After facing them once on the road, the ‘Sox will play the Kamloops Northpaws on their own turf before heading to Corvallis for a much-anticipated rematch of the WCL Championship Game.

Wenatchee will encounter its second South Division opponent of the season, the Yakima Valley Pippins, on the front end of its second six-game home stretch. It will then look to clip the wings of the NightOwls in the back half of the homestand before heading back on the road. 

But the ‘Sox can’t depart from the valley without a proper sendoff. On July 3rd, everyone’s favorite game of the year returns: fireworks night. After the game, everyone who visits Paul Thomas Sr. Stadium will get treated to a spectacle they won’t forget. 

Riding the high of the fireworks show, Wenatchee’s next series against the Bells marks the end of the first half and the start of the All-Star Break, giving the squad a much-needed rest. However, not all of the ‘Sox will be back home, as a special few will get the chance to represent Wenatchee in the West Coast League All-Star Game taking place July 14th, with the location to be announced later by the WCL.

After the brief hiatus, the AppleSox are back in action, hosting the Kelowna Falcons to kick off the second half. They then head to Springfield to tackle their third South Division opponent of the year, the Drifters.

Following their time in the south, Wenatchee heads back up north to battle the Edmonton Riverhawks for the first time in the 2027 season. However, the ‘Sox aren’t done with the south just yet.

They’ll make the trip out to Yakima to face the Pippins for the second and final time before making a speedy trip home to battle the Walla Walla Sweets at Paul Thomas, closing the book on their South Division excursions.

Every year Wenatchee encounters a North Division opponent three times, so who else but the Bells? The AppleSox will host Bellingham for their final homestand of the season (August 3-5) before making the long trek out to Edmonton to close out the 2027 season.

With the season’s conclusion, Wenatchee won’t have to wait long if they manage to make the playoffs, with the North Division Series commencing on August 13th. Coming off a West Coast League Championship, the AppleSox hope to return to the playoffs for the sixth straight year and deliver another record-breaking season.

Now, all one can do is sit back and wait to see what the 2027 season has in store for the Wenatchee AppleSox.
