May 6, 2026 — EVERETT, WA: The Everett AquaSox defeated the Hillsboro Hops 10-0 on Wednesday night as their pitching staff blanked the Hops offense and their hitters had a scoring outburst in the first four innings of the game.
Everett took an early lead, scoring two runs in the bottom of the first inning thanks to the bat of Luke Stevenson. Jonny Farmelo singled and Felnin Celesten doubled to place two runners in scoring position, allowing Stevenson to rocket a two-run double to set the Frogs ahead.
The AquaSox continued their offensive momentum in the bottom of the third, extending their lead 5-0. Farmelo knocked a one-out triple, and Celesten singled him home.

Everett burst the game open for good in the bottom of the fourth, adding five more runs to go ahead 10-0. Austin St. Laurent and Anthony Donofrio singled to place two runners on base with one out, allowing Carter Dorighi to blast a three-run home run for his second long ball of the season. Celesten and Brandon Eike continued the scoring efforts as each added an RBI single to conclude the Frogs’ scoring for the night.
