April 22, 2026 — EVERETT, WA: The Everett AquaSox won their third consecutive game Wednesday night at Everett Memorial Stadium, taking down the Spokane Indians 7-5 during one of the Frogs’ 11 Mukilteo Memory Care Silver Sluggers nights.
Spokane led 2-0 entering the bottom of the second inning, plating one run in each of the first two frames. After Jacob Humphrey hit a two-out double, Ethan Hedges singled him home to open the scoring, and Roynier Hernandez added the second run by doubling and later scoring on an error.
Everett knotted the game 2-2 with one out in the bottom of the second courtesy of Brandon Eike, who demolished a game-tying two-run home run that traveled 418 feet. Carter Dorighi singled to place pressure on the basepaths, and Jonny Farmelo hit an RBI double to set the Frogs ahead. Padding the lead further was Felnin Celesten, whose RBI single gave the Frogs a 4-2 lead.
The Indians powered back in the top of the third, tying the game 4-4. Humphrey and Hedges again teamed up as Hedges teed off for a two-run homer after Humphrey knocked a one-out double. The tie did not last long, though, as Josh Caron demolished a 406-foot solo home run to give the AquaSox the lead.
Trailing 5-4, the Indians battled back to score the game’s tying run in the top of the sixth. Max Belyeu tripled to center field with one out, crossing home plate on a wild pitch to knot the game 5-5. The tie lasted just over an inning as Celesten knocked a go-ahead RBI single in the bottom of the seventh, giving Everett a 6-5 lead. With loaded bases, Caron hit a sacrifice fly, extending the Frogs’ lead to 7-5 with just two frames to go.
Keeping Spokane off of the board in the game’s final two innings were right-handers Chase Centala and Casey Hintz. An alum of the University of Arizona, Hintz struck out three while earning his first save of the season in a scoreless top of the ninth inning.
With the victory, the AquaSox are now tied for second place in the Northwest League standings.
