Vancouver was able to muster five runs, none of them earned, off of just two hits but was aided by eight AquaSox walks.
In the bottom of the eighth inning, Marte hit his second home run of the game with a deep drive to left field for a two-run home run that gave the Frogs some much needed insurance runs. Marte’s hot bat has now gone deep three times in the last two nights.
Both Marte and Lewis recorded multi-hit games and combined for five RBI’s. Dariel Gomez also homered in the game. Left fielder Cole Barr reached base three times with a single and a pair of walks.

The AquaSox offense has been putting up some impressive numbers this series, totaling 27 runs in the first four games against Vancouver. They now climb to 8-5 in the second half, sitting atop the Northwest League standings.
Jimmy Joyce recorded his third win of the year, while Vancouver pitcher Ricky Tiedmann (2-2) took the loss.
