Everett, WA - The Trojans split the four game series with Bellevue last weekend, effectively holding onto a share of the top spot in the north region standings.  The Trojans and Bulldogs went back and forth, Everett winning games one and four, while Bellevue took games two and three.  The split puts Everett at 18-6, two games up on Bellevue at 16-6 who still has eight games left on the schedule (Edmonds and Skagit) while the Trojans have just six left (four against Shoreline, two against Edmonds).  The next two weeks will determine whether or not the Trojans can win their fourth region title in the past five seasons.  

Game One

Everett erupted for 11 runs over the final three innings to power past Bellevue in a commanding 15–5 victory. Colin Beazizo set the tone with a dynamic leadoff performance, scoring four runs and collecting three hits, while Axel Puls delivered clutch all game, driving in four runs on three hits. Brenden Haverlock put an emphatic stamp on the win with a grand slam in the ninth, capping off a relentless offensive surge. On the mound, Cooper McBride shut the door with three strong innings of scoreless relief, securing the win after a solid start from Chase Halvorson.

Game Two

Everett struck first with a sacrifice fly from Davis Downer, but couldn't keep pace as Bellevue poured on 13 unanswered runs in a tough loss. Colin Beazizo and Axel Puls each notched hits, while Baylor Hill showed great plate discipline, drawing three walks. Despite the early spark and solid relief efforts from Asher DeLeo and Dylan Folkman, Everett's pitching staff struggled to contain Bellevue's patient, opportunistic lineup. The setback provides a learning moment for the squad, who will look to bounce back with their trademark energy and grit in the next outing.

Game Three

Despite falling 10–5, Everett showed grit and offensive firepower in the later innings, highlighted by a 14-hit effort that kept pressure on Bellevue throughout. Micah Coleman led the charge with three hits—including a clutch 2-RBI double—while Davis Downer and Luka Ruljancich each added three hits and an RBI apiece. Colin Beazizo sparked the lineup from the top with two hits and a stolen base, as Everett's bats came alive in the fifth through seventh innings. Though the early deficit proved too large, Everett's deep lineup and late-inning fight offered plenty of positives to build on for the final game of the series.

Game Four

Everett delivered a well-rounded performance in a 7–5 win, powered by timely hitting, aggressive baserunning, and a dominant bullpen. Colin Beazizo set the tone with two hits, two runs, and an RBI, while Davis Downer drove in two key runs and Micah Coleman added two hits and a steal. On the mound, Basil Hendrix earned his seventh win with four solid innings, and Nathan Harb shut the door with a five-strikeout save—his eighth of the season. Everett's offense capitalized on Bellevue miscues and executed in key moments, sealing the much needed win.
