Pete Carroll and Geno Smith return to Seattle for the Seahawks’ first preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders, marking Carroll's first appearance at Lumen Field since his departure after the 2023 season. As the Seahawks’ all-time winningest coach, Carroll's return adds excitement to the match, although coach Mike Macdonald indicates only rookie starters will take the field. Coverage starts at 5:00 PM, with kickoff at 7:00 PM on KPUG. The Mariners aim to clinch their series against the White Sox after a commanding 8-3 win, propelled by Eugenio Suarez's home run and strong pitching from Bryan Woo. George Kirby is slated to start Game 2, with coverage beginning at 5:30 PM.

The Bells are set to conclude their regular season against the Nanaimo NightOwls, having edged them 3-2 in the previous game. A win would place the Bells in a better position for home-field advantage in the playoffs, which start Friday. First pitch is at 6:35 PM, with fans encouraged to stay for post-game fireworks.
