Slovak pitcher Adam Macko started on the mound for Everett when AquaSox hosted Hillsboro Hops for the second time this season. And it was a great performance this time as well.

Macko didn’t start the game well as the first two batters he faced reached bases and Hops took 1-0 lead. However, he then started to dominate and finished the inning with three strikeouts. Home batters couldn’t get any hits against him in the following innings and Macko finished his outing with 8 strikeouts. He was substituted after five innings while his team was 0-1 behind. AquaSox then managed to tie the game, however, Hillsboro scored another run, which AquaSox didn’t manage to respond to.
