EVERETT, Wash. - Taylor Zeutenhorst went 2 for 3 with a pair of runs scored and a home run to help the AquaSox take a 4-1 win over Tri-City in the series opener Friday, Aug. 28, at Everett Memorial Stadium.
Zeutenhorst lifted the solo shot in the fourth inning over the manual scoreboard in right field. He also scored the game's first run when Corey Simpson grounded out with the bases loaded to bring Zeutenhorst in from third.
Ryan Uhl brought in the other two runs on a bloop single up the line in shallow left field. Drew Jackson and Arturo Nieto scored on the play.
