Everett AquaSox News Release


EVERETT, WA: Three home runs was not enough for the AquaSox as Eugene prevailed 7-5 in Game Four of the six-game homestand at Funko Field.

After falling behind early, the AquaSox bats found a power surge. Josh Hood hit his second home run in as many days in the bottom of the first. It was Hood's first time homering in consecutive games in his professional career. Then, in the bottom of the second inning, Mercer alumni Bill Knight hit his first home run of 2024. Three batters later, Brock Rodden hit his first home run as a member of the AquaSox, crushing a three-run blast over the left field wall.

Additionally on offense, Hood collected a second hit on the evening. Hood is now batting .320 after his third multi-hit game of the season. Gabriel Moncada and Knight both drew a pair of walks. Knight is now hitting .308 across seven games this season.

For Eugene, Scott Bandura collected a double and an RBI triple. Turner Hill hit his first home run of the year. Bandura, Zach Morgan, Andrew Kachel, and Justin Wishkoski all finished with multi-hit games.

On the mound, right-hander Michael Morales made his second start of 2024. Morales, the Mariners' 13th-ranked prospect, worked 5.1 innings, striking out five and walking only one batter. Morales has pitched at least five innings in both of his starts this season. Nick Davila came in and relieved Morales, throwing 2.2 innings. Davila struck out three batters and walked one in his second appearance of the season. Blake Townsend also pitched, throwing one inning in his third appearance. Townsend has yet to allow an earned run this year.
