The AquaSox added an insurance run in the ninth when a wild pitch by Peterson allowed Suisbel to score all the way from second base, making it 7-4.
Eugene built its lead with single runs in the second, third, fourth, and seventh innings. Dayson Croes drove in Jakob Christian with a bunt single in the second, and a throwing error by Everett starter Nick Payero allowed Maui Ahuna to score in the third. Zander Darby homered in the fourth, and Quinn McDaniel’s solo shot in the seventh gave Eugene a 4-1 advantage.
Everett’s comeback spoiled a strong start by Eugene’s Greg Farone, who allowed one hit and no runs over five innings, striking out six. Shaddon Peavyhouse (2-3) earned the win for the Frogs, pitching two innings and allowing one run. Hunter Cranton secured his third save with a scoreless ninth.
Peterson (2-1) took the loss for Eugene, allowing three runs (one earned) in 1 1/3 innings. The Emeralds’ offense was limited to five hits, with Ahuna, Croes, Darby, McDaniel, and Charlie Szykowny each contributing one.
