Pasco, Washington – The Tri-City Dust Devils (15-14) shut out the Everett AquaSox (11-20) for the second straight night and extended their winning streak to four games with a 4-0 victory in front of the largest crowd at Gesa Stadium since 2019.
Gabe Matthews and Edwin Yon had back-to-back RBI base hits in the third and fifth innings to drive in all four of the game's runs and the Dust Devil pitchers did the rest. Matthews third inning single brought home the game's first run, scoring Kyle Kasser. Yon then hit a line drive single into centerfield that scored Osmy Gregorio for a 2-0 lead after three innings. The duo struck again in the fifth inning as Matthews singled home Kyren Paris and then scored when Yon doubled into left field for the game's final run.
Dust Devils pitching threw a shutout for the second consecutive night. Adam Seminaris pitched the first six innings, allowing only three hits, one walk and striking out four batters, improving his record to 2-0 and lowering his ERA to 0.36. Brandon Dufault threw a perfect seventh inning and Glenn Albanese pitched two scoreless innings to close out the game.
Andy Thomas went two for three and raised his batting average to .288. Tyler Keenan left the game in the fourth inning after being hit in the head by a pitch, however he seemed to be in good spirits and doing fine after the game. Brendan McGuigan pitched two hitless innings for the AquaSox and struck out two batters, lowering his ERA to 3.00.
