August 7, 2026 — EVERETT, Wash.: Fueled by a six-run seventh inning, the Vancouver Canadians defeated the Everett AquaSox 7-4 in front of 2,887 fans on Friday during University of Washington Bothell Alumni Night at Everett Memorial Stadium.
Vancouver found scoring territory first during the top of the third inning as Austin Smith delivered a solo home run to right center field, breaking the scoreless knot. However, the Canadians’ lead did not last overly long as the AquaSox tied the game in the bottom of the fourth courtesy of Korbyn Dickerson. Facing a 1-2 count, Dickerson lasered the baseball over the wall in left center field for his third long ball of the 2026 season.
Anthony Donofrio broke the tie in the bottom of the fifth inning, crushing a solo home run to right center field to set the AquaSox ahead by a run. Donofrio’s blast was his eighth homer of the year and his fifth of the season at Everett Memorial Stadium. Everett starting pitcher Colton Shaw departed upon throwing six innings, striking out eight Canadians batters along the way.
The Canadians surged for six runs during the top of the seventh, jumping out front 7-2 by stringing together six base hits. Everett’s offense notched two more runs in the game’s final frame as Luis Suisbel hit a two-run home run, but the late rally efforts were ultimately not enough as Everett fell for the second time during the six-game Northwest League series.
