Premier One Wenatchee

WRHS grad playing hard-core ball with AppleSox

Cawley Lamb landed in Wenatchee at the request of Gonzaga coach Mark Machtolf. College coaches throughout the land direct their players to leagues like the WCL for a pair of reasons: first, it’s expected the player will improve and return to his college team with greater skills; second, players who are sent out following their freshman and sophomore seasons hope to grab the attention of Major League Baseball teams and get drafted into the professional ranks. “It’s a different kind of feel,” he said, noting that WCL rosters are dotted with quality players from a variety of Division I collegiate programs. The AppleSox roster this year included the starting shortstop from UCLA, two players from the Washington State University program, a pair from USC and others from places like Hawaii, San Diego, Oregon State and Lewis-Clark State. The players develop close relationships, Cawley Lamb said, while enduring long bus rides and plenty of nights in motels. The nine-team West Coast League has five entries from Washington – the Bellingham Bells, Cowlitz Black Bears, Kitsap BlueJackets and Walla Walla Sweets, along with the AppleSox. Oregon clubs include the Bend Elks, Corvallis Knights and Klamath Falls Gems, and there’s one trip across the border to take on the Kelowna (B.C.) Falcons. Cawley Lamb is now enjoying a bit of free time at home with family and friends. The vacation will be short lived, however, as he will soon head back to Spokane where Gonzaga’s “fall ball‚“ season kicks off Aug. 30. It’s six weeks of practice and intrasquad work, all in preparation for the West Coast Conference season, which begins in March.
