EVERETT, WA - The Eugene Emeralds fell to the Everett AquaSox by a final score of 10-2. It's the first win of the week for the Frogs, as the Ems still hold a 2-1 series lead heading into the final three games of the weekend. The Ems are now 14-13 to start the second half.

Everett jumped all over the Ems tonight in the first four innings. They ripped off 10 runs in those innings, scoring at least one run in all four. In the first frame, Matthew Ellis opened up the scoring with an RBI-single before Korbyn Dickerson crushed a two-run blast to make it 3-0.

Austin St. Laurent added onto the total with an RBI-single to make it 10-0 for Everett through four innings.

Eugene was able to get on the board in the top of the fifth. Zander Darby opened up the inning with a solo home run that traveled 349 feet and left his bat at 101.5 mph.
