It will be Wenatchee Valley College “Knight at the AppleSox” on June 6. Gates at Paul Thomas Sr. Field will open at 6 p.m. and the game will begin at 6:35 p.m. The Wenatchee AppleSox will be playing the Victoria HarbourCats.

At the game, the WVC College Foundation will be collecting donations for the Knights Kupboard, WVC’s food pantry for students in need. Over 20 students visit the pantry each week during the academic year, which is run by the counseling department. Food items needed for the pantry include nonperishable microwavable food, cereal, cereal bars, cooking oil, jams and peanut butter. Non-food items needed include shampoo, deodorant, tampons, menstrual pads, toothpaste and toothbrushes.

The National Anthem will be sung by WVC alumnus Ron Lodge. Alumna Barbara Walters, North Central Regional Library Executive Director, will throw out the first pitch. Walters was recently recognized at the WVC Foundation Gala as the 2019 Distinguished Alumni for her community service and for connecting people and communities to the important resources and services that the library offers.
