The rain has cleared and the Edmonton Riverhawks are clad in patriotic red jerseys to take on the Wenatchee AppleSox. Game two of the series is a Canada Day spectacular including an evening celebration with the City of Edmonton’s fireworks to cap it all off. While the Hawks got beat by the Sox last night, they’ll return to RE/MAX Field tonight ready to balance out the series tonight.
