Highline's Bears will return home to the cozy confines of Mel Olson Stadium at Steve Cox Memorial Park in White Center this Friday and Saturday after taking losses on back-to-back nights on the road.

The semiprofessional baseball squad took a 5-2 loss at the Everett Merchants on Wednesday before going over the Cascades to Wenatchee to play the Apple Sox on Thursday and lose, 8-3.

Highline hosts the North Sound Emeralds for a 7:05 p.m. game Friday before entertaining the Northwest Reign at the same time Saturday.
