For the second straight game, Everett jumped ahead early in the game and held the lead until the seventh. Dariel Gomez broke a scoreless game in the fifth inning with a solo home run. The home run was the 26th of the season for Gomez, who continues to lead the league in long balls. Shortstop James Parker followed with a 387-foot solo-home run to centerfield one inning later to give the AquaSox a 2-0 lead.
Relief pitcher Bernie Martinez (0-1) came into the game in the top of the seventh inning but with two outs found himself in a bases loaded jam. Adrian Del Castillo cleared the bases with a double down the right field line giving Hillsboro the lead 3-2. They would get an insurance run later in the inning on an RBI-single by Neyfy Castillo making it a two-run lead.
