Eugene later pulled ahead, taking a slim 5-4 lead in the top of the eighth as Lisbel Diaz hit an RBI triple to center field after Gutierrez singled. They furthered their lead to 10-4 in the top of the ninth, adding five more runs thanks to Jhonny Level’s sacrifice fly, Gutierrez’s RBI single, Zander Darby’s two-run single, and Diaz’s RBI single.
The AquaSox ultimately went down in the bottom of the ninth, plating just one run as Austin St. Laurent drew a bases-loaded walk. Eugene’s Gerelmi Maldonado closed out the game before too much damage could occur, locking down the Emeralds’ 10-5 victory.
