EVERETT — Two ninth-inning home runs powered Eugene to a 5-4 comeback victory over the Everett AquaSox on Tuesday night at Funko Field.
With the AquaSox holding a 3-2 lead thanks to Charlie Pagliarini’s three-run homer in the seventh — his 20th long ball of the season — Eugene took the lead back in the top of the ninth. Jose Geraldo (0-2) gave up three runs in the inning for his second blown save of the season in eight opportunities. The 25-year-old right-hander hit a batter and allowed home runs to Parks Harber and Juan Carlos Sio to take the loss.
The AquaSox, winners of the Northwest League’s first-half standings, fell to 19-36 in the second half and 56-65 overall in a likely preview of the Northwest League Championship Series, which begins Sept. 9.
