HILLSBORO: Hillsboro's Manny Peña drove in the first two Hillsboro runs and scored the game-winner as the Hops won their second straight over the AquaSox by a 3-2 final at Hillsboro Ballpark before a crowd of 2,129.

With the score tied at 2-2 in the bottom of the 10th inning, Hillsboro had the bases loaded with one out. With the infield in, Jack Hurley hit a high chopper to AquaSox second baseman Michael Arroyo. Arroyo's throw home was late as Peña scored the winning run from third and the Hops walked it off.

Everett has been unable to hold four leads in the first two games of the series. On Wednesday night, the Frogs took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning. Arroyo led off the game with a double and went to third on a groundout by Colt Emerson. Arroyo came home on a sacrifice fly to center from Jared Sundstrom.

Hillsboro tied the score at 1-1 in the bottom of the first on a homer un from Peña. All three of his home runs this season have come against the AquaSox.

The AquaSox surged ahead 2-1 in the second inning thanks to a solo homer from Freuddy Batista, his seventh long ball of the year. Batista finished 2-for-4.

The Hops evened things up at 2-2 in the seventh-inning. Jackson Feltner doubled to left, advanced to third on a ground ball and scored on a sacrifice fly to right by Peña.

Jimmy Kingsbury made a spot start for the AquaSox. He allowed two hits and one earned run in three innings. He didn't issue a walk and struck out three.

Hillsboro starting pitcher José Cabrera completed a season-high seven innings. He scattered six hits and allowed two runs. He walked one and struck out four while throwing 86 pitches.
