Mariners Tie, Cougars Win and Huskies Lose

The Seattle Mariners  tied the Los
Angles Dodgers late Wednesday  
afternoon  2-2.

Logan Gilbert  was outstanding 
in this one giving up no runs on
two hits, two strike outs, no walks
in three innings. Emerson Hancock 
went two innings giving up a hit,
two walks, two strike outs and  no 
runs. There is still  three weeks 
until the season  begins so we will 
see what materializes. 

The Mariners  hitter was outfielder 
Alberto Rodriguez  who hit a two-run 
ho er in the top of the 9th putting
the Mariners  up 2-1 unfortunately 
the Dodgers tied in bottom of the 9th.

The Washington  State Cougars won 
the opening game of the Pac-12 tournament.
Not a big surprise  since they played the
California  Golden  Bears  winning 69-52.
This game really  wasn't  this close with
the Cougars leading the whole way.

The Cougars brought in their second
string early  on in the second half only
leaving one starter on the court. Eventually 
they had to bring the other starters back
on when California  went on a ten points 
run to narrow  to eleven point lead.

The  Cougars had five players score in 
double figures  led TJ Bamba  with
17 points. Bamba has been very hot 
lately and the reason Cougars  have
done well  lately. The Cougars take on
Oregon Ducks Thursday afternoon.

The Huskies  lost to Colorado in the
game before the Cougars  74-68. Going 
into the last couple minutes the game
was tied 66-66. Tells you how they did
after that.

Cole Bajema  who  had been struggling  
since the UCLA  game led the Huskies  
with 16 points. Keion Brooks Jr had 
14 points. Coach Mike Hopkins took
the blame for the loss and the season 
which he should. Will we hear about 
his dismissal soon I guess we will see.

If Hopkins is retained is that he has 
$6 million buyout left on two seasons.
Though that is a lot of money  he should 
still leave town. The Huskies most likely 
will have to find a replacement for Keion 
Brooks Jr. They do have the duo of Keyon 
Menifield and Koren Johnson returning
next season we hope anyway. They do
have a freshman recruit coming in but
not much else. Oh by the way thanks
Jamal Bey  to your service though you
didn't  live up to expectations  though
you did show something in the last few
games besides mailing it in. Go Dawgs!
