HILLSBORO, Ore. — The Everett AquaSox gave up five runs in the fifth inning and suffered a 7-1 loss to the Vancouver Canadians in Sunday’s series finale at Roy Tonkin Field.
With the game tied at 1-1 in the fifth, Vancouver (24-18) broke things open with five runs on four hits, a walk and an error. Sebastian Espino capped the onslaught with a two-run double that gave the Canadians a 6-1 lead.
