EVERETT — The Everett AquaSox walked off the Spokane Indians courtesy of Anthony Donofrio’s 10th-inning heroics, securing a 3-2 win in front of 2,276 fans at Funko Field on Thursday afternoon.
With Josh Caron on second base to begin the bottom of the tenth, Milkar Perez hit a fly ball to center field that advanced the runner to third base. Down to his last strike, Donofrio lined a walk-off RBI single to center field for the Northwest League victory as the AquaSox improved to 19-32 in the second half standings and 56-61 overall.
Spokane (23-28, 52-65) took a 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning. With runners on the corners and one out, Andy Perez smacked a two-run double. Everett reduced the lead to one run in the bottom of the second, though, as Donofrio (2-for-3, two RBI) hit a sacrifice fly after Caron doubled.
The AquaSox knotted the game in the bottom of the sixth. Curtis Washington Jr. smacked a leadoff triple off the left field wall and later scored as Luis Suisbel hit into an RBI groundout.
AquaSox starter Taylor Dollard pitched six shutout innings, allowing zero earned runs while striking out two and walking none.
In his professional debut, Lucas Kelly pitched a scoreless seventh. The 22-year-old righty drafted out of Arizona State in the sixth round of the 2025 MLB Draft struck out one and walk none. Tai Peete made a sliding catch in center field to end Kelly’s inning.
Brock Moore and Gabriel Sosa each threw one scoreless inning for the Frogs. Natanael Garabitos (W, 1-1) struck out two in a scoreless 10th.
