Mariners Win Thursday Night

The Seattle Mariners have a week 
until the season begins.  The two
main questions will Bryce Miller 
be in the starting rotation and
JP Crawford start at shortstop.
If not who will be on the roster
to take their spots.

The Mariners beat the A's 6-4.
The Mariners used minor league 
pitchers like using a bullpen 
only.  The A's scored first with
three runs in the third inning then
the Mariners scored all six of
their runs in the seventh inning. 
A's scored their last run in the 8th.

The scoring for the  Mariners  began
with Randy Arozarena hit a single 
to drive in the first run. Ryan Bliss
hit a single to drive in two runs.
 Cal back for his first game after
the WBC hit a double to drive in 
the last three runs. He was at dh 
while Mitch Garver was catching.
Whether he is the backup catcher 
or not to start the season we will
see. Go M's.

In the NCAA tournament Gonzaga 
beat Kennesaw State 73-64. It
wasn't an easy game and the Zags
could have been upset. Kennesaw 
was up by 13 points in the first
half before the Zags went on a 10-0
run.  The Zags were able to get a
ten run lead before the end of the
game. Kennesaw became very
physical. Zags Graham Ike was
charge for a fragrent foul where
Kennesaw made two free throws 
and a field goal to make it real 
interesting. I am not sure how
Graham was charged with a
fragrant foul when a defender 
came over to double team him. 

After the game Zags head coach
Mark Few said it was the defense 
that helped them to win. This was
how it was when they lost Braden 
Huff for the season.  The Zags 
take on Texas who upset BYU
in the game before there's.
It was a similar game as theirs
where Texas built a large lead 
the only difference BYU wasn't 
able to take a lead though it
did become close. This game
will take place on Saturday.
The winner will then go into
the sweet sixteen. Go Zags.
