Mariners Now Take On White Sox

While the Seattle Mariners had success
against the San Francisco Giants the
Chicago White Sox didn't do as well
against the Los Angeles Angels on
the road in Anaheim. The Angels took

three of the four games in the series.

We just hope this continues in Seattle

for the White Sox. They can start winning

when they finish up with the Mariners.

The White Sox lost their shortstop Tim

Anderson Sunday night in the first inning.

 He pulled a hamstring running down the 

line to first. He had to leave the game and

now he is day to day.  Most likely he will

miss the first game of the series tonight

or more.  We will have to hear whether

this could put him on the injured list 

for ten days.

I was able to see Ohtani pitch for the first

time on Sunday night for the Angels. He 

looked pretty good on the mound and in 

the first inning he hit a massive home run

as well. He got in some trouble in the fifth

inning where the Sox were able to get the

bases loaded a wild pitch on a slider brought

a runner home and then another pitch the

catcher couldn't handle then tried to throw

to first which overthrew and then trying to

get a runner at home Ohtani went to the 

ground. I believe he will be okay but he

did leave the game with the score tied

3-3. I certainly was impressed by his 

performance.

In other local sports Monday night the

Gonzaga Bulldogs go against Baylor

in the championship series. This will

be pressure for Gonzaga for sure. They

win it will be a bit of history in the 

making. Go Zags!

In a sort of related news the Stanford 

Cardinal women's basketball team

won the NCAA championship over

Arizona Wildcats. Stanford was ahead

for most of the game with both teams

going on runs. 

Stanford was able to go on a 11 point 

run in the first quarter than Arizona 

came back in the second quarter to 

continue making the game interesting. 

The final score came right down to the end 

with Arizona having the last shot but good 

defense by Stanford allowed not a good shot

 selection so the shot missed with Cardinal 

winning 54-53. Can't do much closer than 

that for sure.

One member of Stanford women's team

was Russell Wilson's little sister Anna.

One of the reasons to mention it besides

being a great game.

Hopefully in the next post we will see

another Mariner victory. Go M's.
