The Mariners are looking to end their disastrous road trip on a high note tonight.

The M’s fell to the Dodgers 6-3 last night after pinch-hitter Jason Heyward delivered a go-ahead 3-run homer in the eighth inning to cap off LA’s late-game rally.

The Mariners went up 3-0 early off a pair of RBI hits from Jorge Polanco in the first and third innings.

The Dodgers pulled within one in the fourth with a pair of solo homers before tying it in the seventh.

Heyward went on to hit the game-winning home run off All-Star closer Andres Munoz the next inning.

Prior to this road trip, Munoz hadn’t allowed a homer since May 18, but he’s now given one up in his last two closing appearances.

Fellow All-Star Logan Gilbert will look to help the Mariners avoid a sweep tonight and salvage a road trip that’s seen them go 1-7.

Coverage begins at 6:00 and first pitch is at 7:10 on KPUG.

 

Pete Carroll has finally broken his silence.

The former Seahawks coach told KJR radio in Seattle that he plans to teach a class at USC in the near future.

He did not note what subject he would be teaching.

Carroll has been tight-lipped since parting ways with the Seahawks after the 2023 season ended, but has been seen at UW Huskies practices, where his son is the offensive coordinator.

He mentioned in the interview that he’s been “keeping his distance” from the Seahawks, but didn’t rule out coaching in the future.

Carroll now returns to USC after leading their football program to two national championships during his eight years as head coach in the 2000’s.

 

The Seattle Storm beat the Washington Mystics 83-77 last night.

The Storm’s Big Three of Nneka Ogwumike, Jewell Loyd and Skylar Diggins-Smith combined for 59 points in the win.

It’s the team’s first win since the WNBA went on an extended break for the Paris Olympics.

Seattle now sits just a game and a half behind Minnesota for first-place in the Western Conference.

They’ll rematch the Mystics in Seattle on Monday night.

 

Western Washington University’s volleyball team has earned some recognition ahead of the upcoming season.

They were picked to finish third in the GNAC in the preseason coaches poll, behind Central Washington and Seattle Pacific.

The young Vikings are coming off a third-place finish in the conference last season, but return with nearly their entire roster without a single senior.

They open their season on Sept. 5 as hosts of the WWU Invitational in Bellingham.

It comes as Western’s fall sports season is gearing up, with the women’s soccer team playing its first exhibition match tonight.

The official opening day for the season is on Thursday, Sept. 5, when the volleyball team begins its tournament and both soccer teams host matches at Harrington Field.
