PASCO — Zach DeLoach’s two-out, two-run single was the big blow in a four-run ninth inning as the Everett AquaSox rallied to beat the Tri-City Dust Devils 9-6 on Saturday night at Gesa Stadium.
Trailing by a run entering the final frame, Jack Larsen led off with a single. Tyler Keenan walked and was replaced by pinch-runner Kaden Polcovich. After Cade Marlowe flied out, Joseph Rosa doubled to drive home Larsen and tie the game at 6-6. Jake Anchia was intentionally walked to load the bases before Conner Hoover stuck out. With two down, DeLoach lined a single to center to score Polcovich and Rosa and gave the AquaSox an 8-6 lead. Patrick Frick followed with an RBI single, scoring Anchia, before Carter Bins lined out to end the inning.
Keenan, Anchia and Marlowe all homered in the game for the AquaSox. Marlowe’s homer was his first since being promoted from Low-A Modesto.
George Kirby started on the mound for Everett (28-17) and allowed four runs, two earned, on six hits over six inning. Kirby struck out nine and walked one.
The AquaSox have won four of the first five games in the six-game series and 10 of 11 from the Dust Devils overall on the season.
Francisco Del Valle went 2-for-4 with a triple and an RBI and Ty Greene had three hits for Tri-City (15-31).
