AppleSox win WCL Championship in thriller

The briefing

A columnist recounts the Wenatchee AppleSox beating the Corvallis Knights 8-7 for the West Coast League championship at a packed Paul Thomas Sr. Stadium. Corvallis led 7-5 into the eighth before Wenatchee loaded the bases and took a one-run lead, then closed out the ninth to set off a celebration on the mound. The piece argues the night mattered less for the trophy than for gathering a town that had plenty else to worry about.
