Huskies and Mariners

Not a big surprise after losing to the

Cougars Arizona came back to beat

the Huskies 91-75.

The Wildcats led most of the way

being up by 17 points at half and

get the score above 20 in the second

half. The Huskies brought in some

of the bench in the second half.

They were able to get within 10 points

under ten minutes left in the game

then Arizona was able to get the score

up higher once again.

The Huskies showed though the could

score some against the Wildcats their

defense couldn't stop them.

Korean Johnson led the Huskies coming

off the bench with 17 points. Keion Brooks

Jr. had only 15 points.  The Huskies

have three games left in the regular 

season.  They are in 10th place in the

Pac-12 with three games left. They

face UCLA and USC at home next

week and finish off against the Cougars

in Pullman.

The Cougars play Arizona State in the

evening. The Cougars will be still in

first place by winning or down by

half a game with a loss.

In baseball the Mariners lost to the

White Sox  8-7 in walk off fashion.

Like many spring training games

there was no scoring early on. The

While Sox scored first in the bottom

of the sixth inning and then sent 

back and forth.

The Mariners hsd five starters in the

game. They had eight pitchers go.

Only a few that are really competing

for a roster spot.

Julio Rodriguez didn't play and may 

do so on Sunday. Ty France had a 

double  for the Mariners first hit

of the spring. Tyler Locklear first

baseman prospect had three hits

When he came in for Ty.

Cole Young came in for JP Crawford

at short. Though he didn't have a hit

he did drive in a run on a sacrifice fly.

Samad Taylor who the Mariners acquired

from the Kansas City Royals had the

first Mariners home run of the spring and the only one the Mariners had on the day. 

He came in for Polanco at second base

and later moved to left field. Samad is

competing for the utility spot.

The Mariners take on Cleveland Guardians

on Sunday in Peoria as the home team

on Sunday. Left hander Jhonathan Diaz 

is expected to start for the Mariners.

Luis Castillo is expected to start on Monday as the first pitcher in the rotation

goes against his former team Cincinnati

Reds on the road. George Kirby expected

to go against the Giants Tues on the

road too. It will be interesting to see how

those two go in their first outings. They

may be the first two starters to begin the

season.
