PETER BOVENKAMP hopes every outing could go as well as Monday, as BOVENKAMP tossed a shutout to carry the Skagit Valley (14-20) to a 2-0 victory over the Everett (15-20) at Everett Memorial Stadium .

BOVENKAMP held the Everett scoreless during his nine innings of work. He pitched a shutout, allowing no runs on three hits while striking out four.

YUSUKE AKITOSHI led the Skagit Valley's offensive threat, as he got on base two times in the game. He also drove in one runner. He tripled in the third inning.

Brad Monson ended up on the wrong side of the pitching decision, charged with his fourth loss of the year. He lasted just eight innings, walked three, struck out three, and allowed two runs.
