ABOUT THE VICTORIA HARBOURCATS

WENATCHEE’S RECORD...

The HarbourCats joined the WCL in 2013. They are currently chasing Bellingham who is running away with the WCL West. Victoria is the provincial capital of British Columbia. The city is the most heavily populated area on Vancouver Island, boasting of more than 365,000 in the Greater Victoria area. Victoria is only accessed via plane or boat, as there are no bridges directly connecting the island to the Canadian Mainland or Washington

State.

SERIES WITH THE HARBOURCATS

The AppleSox met the HarbourCats nine times during their inaugural 2013 season. Wenatchee won the first four meetings of the year and all six at Paul Thomas Sr. Field. After winning the first home series, Wenatchee took one of three at Royal Athletic Park and suffered a short-lived two-game losing streak to the Cats. Wenatchee would go on to sweep Victoria in Wenatchee to cap the 2013 meetings. The two teams have never met in the playoffs or extra innings.

EXTRA OUTS A PROBLEM

The AppleSox gave Victoria four extra outs last night (basically an extra 1.1 innings offensively). That was all while the HarbourCats were errorless and the AppleSox got 0 extra outs. On the season Wenatchee has now given opponents a total of ﬁve extra outs or almost two innings of baseball. With 16 one-run contests on the year, that number is quite signiﬁcant when you consider win-loss totals.

Ed Knaggs announced that Mike Livingston, who hasn’t played in four weeks for Wenatchee, is likely done for the summer. Caleb Wood is sidelined as he waits for a potential MRI. To do so, he would have to return to Arizona. With travel a consideration Wood might be done for the summer as well, although he did see action a night ago as a

pinch hitter.
