July 21, 2026 — EVERETT, Wash.: The Everett AquaSox dropped the opening game of their six-game series against the Eugene Emeralds, falling 13-8 at Everett Memorial Stadium in front of 2,001 fans and 189 dogs on Tuesday night during Sam’s Cats & Dogs Bark In The Park.
The teams exchanged runs in the first inning as Carlos Gutierrez hit an RBI single for Eugene and Brandon Eike knocked an RBI single for Everett. Eugene snuck ahead 2-1 in the top of the second when Walker Martin hit a solo home run, and the one-run lead held until Everett tied the game in the bottom of the third courtesy of Brendan Donovan. Joining the AquaSox on an injury rehab assignment, the Seattle Mariners infielder delivered a sacrifice fly after Austin St. Laurent doubled and stole third base.

Eugene powered ahead 5-2 in the top of the fourth inning, rallying for three runs. Jakob Christian hit a one-out double, allowing Zander Darby to smack a two-run home run. Lisbel Diaz added a double of his own, later scoring as Jose Astudillo hit an RBI single to collect his first Emeralds RBI. Furthering the Eugene lead to four runs in the next frame was Darby, who added an RBI single.
Up 6-2, the Emeralds lengthened their lead to three runs in the top of the sixth as Isaiah Barkett drilled his first home run with Eugene. Barkett’s long ball was good for two runs, and bringing home the ninth Emeralds run was Martin, who drew a bases-loaded walk.
