Marquez made his short time in Sweets Country notable batting .294 in six games for the Sweets. Marquez also drove in six runs in those six games played for the Sweets in league play. The highlight of the year for Marquez was in his final series with Walla Walla vs the Northwest Star Nighthawks, as he would lead off the bottom of the ninth in a tie game with a triple and eventually come in to score off a passed ball.

"Last year was great for the short time I was there. It was really fun and playing at Borleske was awesome. And the moments we had there were awesome and this year, getting to play a full season, I'm really excited for it," said Marquez.
