August 17, 2024 - EVERETT, WA: An offensive explosion that saw the AquaSox score nine runs in the bottom of the third inning propelled the Frogs to an 11-5 victory over the Tri-City Dust Devils in front of 3,559 fans at Funko Field.
Tri-City and Everett exchanged runs in the second inning to tie the game 1-1. Connor Charping walked and later advanced to third base, and Colt Emerson hit a groundout to score Charping and the Frogs’ first run.
The AquaSox broke the game open for good in the bottom of the third inning, bringing home a whopping nine runs to put the game out of reach for the Dust Devils. Delivering the damage with their bats were Caleb Cali, Hunter Fitz-Gerald, Axel Sanchez, and Jared Sundstrom, who all knocked RBI base hits. Sundstrom’s hit was his 23rd double, and it scored two runs. Emerson, Charping, and Bill Knight, all drew RBI walks in the inning.
Right-handed starting pitcher Ryan Hawks concluded his night after throwing five innings of three-run baseball. He struck out five Dust Devils and walked none while earning his sixth win of the year.

Adding the final run of the night for the AquaSox was Knight. After Montes walked, Knight lined a double to left field to score Montes and extend the AquaSox lead 11-5. Knight’s swing was the final of the game as the game was called due to rain. Everett has now won four of the first five games of the series.
