Break out the brooms! 'Sox sweep the NorthPaws!

For the first time this year, the AppleSox broke out the brooms and secured a series sweep. They shut out the Kamloops NorthPaws in game three and extended their lead as the No. 1 team in the North Division.

The ‘Sox scored early in the first and third innings and then coasted the rest of the way with a 4-0 lead. A pair of Gonzaga Bulldogs accounted for the offense tonight, with Landon White and Kainoa Santiago combining for three hits and three RBIs.

Right-hander Carson Boesel made his first start of the season, pitching five scoreless innings with two walks, three hits, and four strikeouts. After him, it was Levi Grothen and Jonathan Christner pitching four innings combined to finish the shutout and secure the sweep.

Santiago won player of the game after he ended the night with two hits, one walk, and one RBI. Boesel took home pitcher of the game honors with his scoreless start on the mound.

The win tonight gives the ‘Sox a 6-2 overall record and puts them atop the North Division. They stay at home for their next three games against the Springfield Drifters.

The series against the Drifters begins on June 9 and concludes on June 11 at Paul Thomas Senior Stadium.
