EVERETT, WASHINGTON: Powered by a four-run bottom of the seventh, the Everett AquaSox secured a 7-5 comeback victory over the Eugene Emeralds in front of 3,306 fans at Funko Field on Sunday Fun Day.
The game began as a pitcher’s duel as Everett’s Nick Payero and Eugene’s Cesar Perdomo held the game scoreless across the first four innings. Charlie Szykowny burst the scoreless knot in the top of the fifth, hitting a solo home run to the Paine Field Home Run Porch in right field. Directly piggybacking Szykowny was Parks Harber, who belted a solo home run to left field to give the Emeralds a 2-0 lead.
Everett rallied in the bottom half of the fifth, placing Tai Peete and Anthony Donofrio in scoring position with one out. Peete scored Everett’s first run of the game, diving into home plate on a wild pitch while Carter Dorighi was at-bat.

Szykowny and Harber combined to give Eugene a 4-2 advantage in the top of the sixth. After Nate Furman walked and advanced to second base on Jonah Cox’s sacrifice bunt, Szykowny grounded an RBI single to center field to provide the Emeralds the lead. Furthering the lead was Harber, who doubled off of the right field fence to score Szykowny.
The AquaSox loaded the bases with no outs in the bottom of the seventh as Dorighi drew a leadoff walk, Jonny Farmelo singled, and Felnin Celesten walked. Tying the game 4-4 was Matthew Ellis, who lined a two-run single to right field.
