WENATCHEE, WA — The Nanaimo NightOwls know this it the time to get hot, with the West Coast League in a pressure-packed race to the playoffs.
The first step got off on the wrong foot, with an 11-1 loss to the AppleSox in Wenatchee. Both teams are in the mix for one of four North Division playoff positions.
The NightOwls got two hits each from Trevor Goldenetz, Raoul Fabian Jr and Talan Zenk, but it wasn’t enough to offset some big innings by Wenatchee.
Aidan Boice started and was effective, but gave up some two-out hits that burned him. Jakin Rohne was very effective out of the pen for the NightOwls.
The NightOwls stay in Wenatchee for the weekend series, playing Saturday and Sunday evenings, returning home on an early ferry Monday morning. On Tuesday, the Corvallis Knights make their first ever appearance at Serauxmen Stadium with a three-game series that continues Wednesday and Thursday. Tuesday is the Christmas in July celebration at Serauxmen.
