June 4, 2026 — EVERETT, Wash.: Propelled by seven extra-base hits, the Everett AquaSox demolished the Eugene Emeralds 12-2 at Everett Memorial Stadium on Coors Light Throwback Thursday.
Everett’s offense found a spark in each of the game’s first three frames, scoring five runs to build an early lead. Matthew Ellis opened the scoring with an RBI double in the bottom of the first, and Jonny Farmelo powered a two-run home run after Curtis Washington Jr. doubled. Concluding the early scoring efforts was Luke Stevenson, who lined a single into right field in the bottom of the third inning. Two runners scored on Stevenson’s swing — one on the hit and one as a rundown occurred on the basepaths.
The AquaSox offense added another two runs in the bottom of the fifth, leaping ahead 7-0. Washington Jr. doubled, allowing Carter Dorighi and Farmelo to line consecutive RBI singles to extend the Frogs’ lead. Everett starting pitcher Chase Centala departed as the game went into the sixth, throwing five shutout innings while striking out seven Emeralds. Centala’s seven strikeouts tied his career high, and he also walked none.
Eugene found the scoring column for the first time in the top of the sixth as Gavin Kilen hit a solo home run. However, the AquaSox responded in the bottom of the inning, scoring four more runs to take an 11-1 lead. With two runners on base, Carlos Jimenez hit an RBI single, and two at-bats later, Washington Jr. demolished a three-run home run for his third extra-base hit of the game and his sixth home run of the season.
Scoring the final AquaSox run was Stevenson, who crossed home plate as Jimenez was hit by a pitch while the bases were loaded in the bottom of the seventh. Ben Hernandez and Wyatt Lunsford-Shenkman finished the game from the mound for Everett as each fired off one inning. Jakob Christian added a solo homer in the top of the ninth to make the score 12-2 but the Emeralds did not add any more runs beyond his swing, allowing the Frogs to lock down their third win of the six-game series.
