'Sox crush the Fish Sticks 24-2 in game one

In their first non-league game of the season, the ‘Sox showed exactly why they are the first-place team in the North Division. Wenatchee blew out the DubSea Fish Sticks tonight, 24-2, in game one of the series.

The ‘Sox combined for 26 hits in total, tallying runs in seven of eight innings. They scored one in the first, two in the second, three in the third, three in the fourth, three in the fifth, two in the sixth, and lastly, a comical 10 in the eighth.

Throw a dart, and you’ll hit someone who had a great game for the ‘Sox. Seven members of the team had multi-hit and multi-RBI performances, including Jonah Shields, Ky McGary, Tyler Jones, Ethan Mar, Harlan Rowe, and Gage Wareham.

Jones was making his AppleSox debut and did not disappoint. The sophomore went 5-for-6 with two RBIs, a triple, a home run, and six runs scored… No, that's not a typo.

The two-way player was a double away from the cycle in his first game as an AppleSox. He truly made up a bulk of the offense for Wenatchee all night long.

Pitching was stellar as always. It was a bullpen day with the ‘Sox using eight different faces out of the pen. Joe Schuyleman, Damien Pantoya, Patrick Galvin, Tate Swanson, Chihiro Sato, Kelley Crawford, Vincent De Marco, and Colin Fraser all made cameos in that order.

The staff combined for 14 strikeouts, only eight hits, and just two runs. The Fish Sticks really had no response for the ‘Sox pitching staff, which boasts the best ERA in the WCL.

After the non-league victory, the ‘Sox will finish out the mini-series against the Fish Sticks tomorrow night. First pitch will be at 6:35 p.m at Paul Thomas Senior Stadium.
