Mariners played at the same time.
Both teams won as well.
The Huskies won at home while
the Mariners won on the road.
Huskies played their first game
as a member of the Big Ten while
the Mariners are in a must win
situation if they want to make the
playoffs. Both teams they played
are not as good as they are.
The Huskies won beating Northwestern
at Husky Stadium 24-5. Northwestern
didn't have their star running back.
Would have they won if he had played.
Maybe not but might have been a closer
game. The Huskies ran for 144 yards
which was more than Northwestern total
offense which was 112 yards.
Denzel Boston who looks to be the
Huskies number one receiver had
two touchdowns on the day. Jonah
Coleman had the third touchdown
on the day for eight yard carry in the
4th quarter and the only points scored
in the second half by the Huskies..
This is something they will need to
do better going forward.
The Huskies defense did a fine job
giving up only a field goal. The
defense has done a good job
against the run which has been
trouble over the last few years.
We have to see whether that continues
as the Huskies will play better teams.
The Huskies will be playing Rutgers
next Friday night in New Jersey. The
Huskies usually don't play this far
away from home do we will have
to see what happens. At least the
Huskies were able to rebound after
their loss to the Cougars in the Apple
Cup last week.
The Mariners best the Rangers for the
second time on this road trip 8-4.
The game was closer this the score indicates. Julio hit a home run to lead
off the game and Jorge Polanco singles
in Arozarena to make it 2-0. In the
third inning the Rangers tied it with a
two-run homer from shortstop Josh Smith.
Julio had another hit in the game driving
in Dylan. The first of three runs in the
sixth inning. The Rangers came back
with two of their own. That is where it
sat until the top of the ninth where they
scored three more runs. Victor Robles
who didn't start pinch run for Polanco
ended up stealing third base came home
on a wild pitch. Julio was involved again
this time hitting a hard ball scoring JP
Crawford and Dylan Moore.
Emerson Hancock started the game
for the Mariners going five innings
and giving up two runs. The Mariners
used five relievers the rest of the way.
Sunday the Mariners will see if they
can sweep the Rangers then onto
Houston for three. We hope this
wasn't too late for the playoffs.
Go.Mariners!
