The Dodgers were crowned World Series champs last night after an epic comeback.

LA trailed 5-0 entering the fifth inning, but used a five-run flurry to tie Game 5.

The Yankees answered with a run in the bottom of the fifth, though the Dodgers took their first lead of the game in the top of the eight thanks to a pair of sacrifice flies.

Their pitching held up and Walker Buehler went on to throw a perfect ninth inning to secure the win.

Freddie Freeman was named World Series MVP for his 4 home runs and 12 RBIs throughout the five-game series.

Former Mariner Teoscar Hernandez chipped in with 7 hits and 4 RBIs to help the Dodgers win their second world championship in five years.

 

The Kraken are taking the ice tonight for a special Halloween game.

Seattle is facing the Toronto Maple Leafs for the second of their five-game road trip.

The Kraken will look to carry momentum from their dominant 8-2 win over Montreal earlier this week.

Coverage begins at 3:30 and puck drops at 4 on KPUG.

 

A key offensive piece for the Seahawks could be returning this weekend.

Star receiver DK Metcalf didn’t practice yesterday, but coach Mike Macdonald says he’s “optimistic” that he’ll be active against the Rams on Sunday.

Metcalf suffered an MCL sprain that sidelined him for last weekend’s loss to the Bills.

The sixth-year veteran leads a pass-happy Seahawks offense with 568 receiving yards and 3 touchdowns on the season.

Devon Witherspoon was also on the injury report yesterday after a new foot injury kept him out of practice.

 

The latest high school football rankings are out from the Associated Press.

Lynden came in at third in Class 2A in yesterday’s poll, with conference rivals Anacortes and Archbishop Murphy at second and fourth, respectively. 

Playoff-bound Sehome received the 11th-most votes.

Meanwhile, in the Class 1A rankings, Nooksack Valley fell from fourth to sixth after last week’s loss to unranked Montesano.

Lynden Christian jumped to eighth-place following their one-point win over Meridian, who fell to 10th in the state.

 

And speaking of high school football, we’ve got a great game on the radio for you tonight with major playoff implications.

The Meridian Trojans have a chance to lock up a spot in the postseason when they travel to Blaine to face the Borderites.

Nooksack Valley and Lynden Christian have already secured their spots in the new 24-team play-in bracket that will send 12 schools to the state tournament.

If Blaine wins, it will result in a three-way tie between them, Meridian and Mount Baker for the last playoff spot in the Northwest Conference.

In that case, the three schools would face off in a mini-playoff.

Coverage for tonight’s game begins at 5:35 and kickoff is at 6:00 on KGMI with Randy Farmer and Rick Todd on the call.

 

Elsewhere in the county tonight…

Mount Baker is on the road against Omak.

And Sehome is hosting Archbishop Murphy.

Both those games kick off at 6:00 as well.
