The Wenatchee AppleSox overcame an early 5-2 deficit to go on to a 6-5 win over the Bend Elks in the deciding game of the best-of-three West Coast League Championship Series Tuesday night in Wenatchee. It's the fourth title for Ed Knagg's AppleSox in the six-year history of the WCL, and the second in a row. Down 5-2 in the 4th inning, the AppleSox Kalei Hanawahine (Soph-to-be, San Diego) belted a three-run home run to tie the game. It was Hanawahine's first home run of the season. The AppleSox picked up the decisive run in the 5th inning on a single by Eric Lane (Lower Columbia College). Right-hander Zach Gallagher (Sr.-to-be, Hawaii) worked seven innings for the win. Jeff Ames (Soph-to-be, Lower Columbia College) got the save, allowing one hit and fanning four over the final two innings. James Nygren (Sr.-to-be, Oregon State) suffered the loss. The Elks who bounced back from a 4-2 loss at home in game #1 to take a 5-2 decision Monday night in Wenatchee, were playing in their first Championship Series. It was the first time the WCL Championship Series went to a decisive third game.
