PASCO – CF Anthony Scull doubled twice Sunday afternoon at Gesa Stadium, with his second two-bagger an RBI hit in a four-run 7th inning that gave the Tri-City Dust Devils (16-11) the lead for good in a 7-4 win over the Everett AquaSox (13-14) and clinched a four-games-to-two series win.
Playing once more as the Viñeros in lead-up to the Cinco de Mayo holiday, Tri-City took an early 2-0 lead an inning in. 1B Caleb Bartolero singled to lead off the bottom of the 1st, with Scull sending the first of his doubles to right and putting two in scoring position. A wild pitch from Everett starter Walter Ford allowed Bartolero to score the opening run of the game and, later in the inning, C Peter Burns delivered a two-out RBI single to center to double the lead.
DH Matt Coutney, part of the 7th inning rally, helped put a third run on the board in the 3rd inning. He first reached on an infield single, advancing to second on a single by 3B Jake Munroe. A second wild pitch from Ford caused both runners to try to take 90 feet, with the throw to get Coutney at third ending up in left field and providing ample time for him to score for a 3-0 advantage.
The AquaSox would push back, though, scoring four runs over the middle innings to take a 4-3 lead to the bottom of the 7th. Stretched out and taken to the ballgame, the Dust Devils got to work beginning with a walk by 2B Kevin Bruggeman. Bartolero pulled a double down the left field line, and Bruggeman came all the way around to score and tie the game at 4-4. That brought up Scull, who took a pitch from Gabriel Sosa (0-1) the opposite way to left to plate Bartolero with another double and a 5-4 Tri-City lead. It was then Coutney’s turn, and he took Sosa over the right field wall for a two-run homer, his second longball in as many days.
Reliever Zachary Redner (3-0) pitched the final 2.1 innings for the win, giving up two hits but posting zeroes to close out the win. At the plate, Caleb Bartolero had a three-hit day with a double, and Matt Coutney, Jake Munroe and Anthony Scull’s multi-hit games helped comprise an 11-hit afternoon for the club.
