(Scotiabank Field at Nat Bailey Stadium - Vancouver, B.C.) - The Everett AquaSox came out swinging on Sunday evening at Nat Bailey Stadium as they defeated the Vancouver Canadians by a final score of 6-3.
Everett would finish with 12 hits in the outing compared to seven for Vancouver.
The Canadians fell behind early as RHP Jon Harris loaded the bases with one out in the 1st inning, hit DH Alex Jackson with a pitch to score CF Braden Bishop and gave up a two-run single to LF Luis Liberato. A sacrifice fly by C P.J. Jones made it 4-0 before Harris forced RF Taylor Zeutenhorst into a ground out.
Vancouver would get a pair of runs back in the bottom of the frame thanks to a two-out RBI single by C Ryan Hissey, who then came home when RF Sean Hurley ripped a double to center field.
CF Andrew Guillotte scored his second run of the night on a ground out by 3B Carl Wise in the bottom of the 3rd to pull the Canadians within one.
The AquaSox added some insurance in the 6th as RHP Sean Ratcliffe loaded the bases with none out for the second straight inning. He was then replaced by LHP Brandon Hinkle who gave up a single to 2B Logan Taylor to score 3B Conner Hale. Liberato reached first on a throwing error to bring in PH Jordan Cowan and make it a 6-3 ball game.
