EVERETT -- Everett broke out the big bats to snap a three-game losing streak against the Tri-City Dust Devils.
First baseman Gerardo Avila had three RBIs and Matt Cerione snapped out of a 1-for-19 slump with a home run and two RBIs as the AquaSox bested the Dust Devils 11-5 in a Northwest League game Sunday afternoon at Everett Memorial Stadium in front of 3,034 fans.
Everett's (22-14) offense showed why it is one of the best in the NWL by pounding out 15 hits.

Every player except catcher Trevor Coleman had a hit and five players recorded multiple hits, including shortstop Anthony Phillips who batted 3-for-5 with a solo home run in the seventh inning.
Tri-City starter Sheng-An Kuo lasted just 22/3 innings, allowing six runs on eight hits.

Bergman falls short of record
EVERETT -- Christian Bergman, the Tri-City Dust Devils ace pitcher, got hit hard Sunday in his pursuit of the Northwest League scoreless innings record, allowing five first-inning runs in a 6-3 loss to the Everett AquaSox.
Bergman, a second-year right-hander out of Altadena, Calif., came into the game with a streak of 30 2/3 shutout innings, just 1 1/3 shy of the NWL record of 32 held by Larry Loughlin (in 1965) and Joseph Carboni (in 1966), both of the Eugene Emeralds.
He struck out Everett leadoff man Marcus Littlewood to start the game and come within one inning of the mark. With one out, Bergman then allowed three consecutive hits, the last of which was an RBI single by Jharmidy De Jesus, to end the scoreless streak at 31 innings.
Halman tragedy sends ripples through NWL
Halman tragedy sends ripples through NWL
Anyone dying young is terribly sad, but the story about Greg Halman hurts my soul.
If you missed the news, Halman — a promising, 24-year-old rookie outfielder with the Seattle Mariners — died as a result of a stab wound Monday morning at his apartment in Rotterdam, Netherlands. Investigators are now investigating the possibility that his brother wielded the weapon that killed him.
If this is true, the story goes well beyond tragedy and into pure senselessness.
