Northwest Sports Update Cal makes history as Ms win 10th straight, Storm force decisive Game 3, Blazers hockey suspends season and more

Bellingham, WALocal News

Cal Raleigh made history by surpassing Mickey Mantle's record for single-season home runs by a switch-hitter, contributing to the Mariners' 12-5 victory over the Royals and their 10th consecutive win. Logan Gilbert pitched nearly six innings of two-run ball, helping Seattle maintain a half-game lead over the Astros in the AL West. The Storm staged a remarkable comeback against the Aces, ending the game on a 16-4 run to win 86-83 and secure a Game 3 in Las Vegas. Skylar Diggins scored 26 points, leading all scorers, while the Sounders suffered a 3-1 defeat to Inter Miami, with their lone goal coming from Obed Vargas. The Bellingham Blazers announced they will suspend play for the upcoming season due to a decrease in available players, primarily influenced by NCAA eligibility changes.

The team draws from Division II and III players, many of whom are opting to play for local club teams instead. Raleigh's achievement places him alongside Mariners legends like Ken Griffey Jr. , while the Storm's playoff win snaps the Aces' 17-game winning streak. The Blazers plan to reassess their future by January 2026.
