Mariners Win Seahawks Lose

 Mariners 7 Royals 1


Sunday the Seattle Mariners kept
themselves alive at least for another
day or series to make the wild card.
It still won't be easy as the Mariners
have only 13 games remaining on
the season.

The Mariners are four games back
in the wild card. They take on the
A's in Oakland starting Monday 
in a four-game series. For the M's
to stay in the race they really need
to sweep the series. They will finish
the road trip against the Angels
before coming home to finish the
season against A's and Angels. The
final 13 game are against the A's
and Angels. The Mariners need to
finish both teams winning most if
not all the games. Not an easy task.

Sunday's game Logan Gilbert went
seven innings giving up only three
hits and a run.  Something all the
starters will need to do the remaining
way. 

Jarred Kelenic looked like the hitter
we hope to see in 2022. Kelenic had
three hits while driving in three runs.
Kelenic had a home run in the 3rd 
inning plus two doubles. Jake Bauers
had a home run in the 3rd as well.
This gave the Mariners 5-0 lead as
they scored two in the first and another
in the second. The future looks bright
if what Kelenic did during the Royals
series. Keep it up young man.

Titans 33 Seahawks 30

The Seattle Seahawks started off 
Sunday having a 24-9  at half-time
however the offense couldn't sustain
it scoring six in the second half.
Jason Myers missed the extra point
after the touchdown. This meant
the Titans on their final touchdown
near the end of the game they would
have had to go for two points to tie
instead of extra points. Other words
the Seahawks could have won by
one in regulation. 

The game going in overtime. The 
Seahawks defense was able to stop
the Titans on their first possession,
but the Titans were able to pin the
Seahawks deep on their side. The
Seahawks were not able to go any
where so had to punt putting the
Titans in good situation where 
they had to get only one first down
before kicking the winning field
goal.

Passing game was even between
the two teams both having over
340 yards, however, the rushing
game was in the favor of the Titans.
Chris Carson was only able to run
for 31 runs on 13 carries though 
he had two touchdowns. The Titans
running back Derrick Henry ran 
the ball many more times 35 carries
for 182 yards and three touchdowns.

The Seahawks next week will be
in Minnesota to take on the Vikings.
The Seahawks will have to improve
both on offense as well as defense.
The Vikings lost a close one on 
Sunday on the road at Arizona
34-33. Next Sunday's game could
be another high scoring affair 
hopefully with the Seahawks
victory.
