Frogs Walk-Off with Win, 4-3

EVERETT, Wash. - After holding the lead for most of the game, the Everett AquaSox walked off with a victory over the Eugene Emeralds, 4-3.

HOW IT HAPPENED

Grayson Byrd drove in the tying run, sending the game into the bottom of the inning, 3-3.
With two outs and two runners on, Cesar Izturis Jr. entered the game as a pinch hitter, driving in Cade Marlowe with a hard-hit ground ball to left field and propelling the 'Sox to a 4-3 walk-off victory.
