Northwest Sports Update Ms clinch playoff spot, Seahawks gear up for TNF, Nooksack Valley gets new field and more

Bellingham, WALocal News

The Seattle Mariners clinched a playoff berth after defeating the Colorado Rockies 4-3, propelled by a bases-clearing double from Josh Naylor. This victory marked the team's 15th win in 16 games, aided by a bullpen that delivered over three scoreless innings. Mariners GM Justin Hollander announced that pitcher Bryan Woo will not start due to pectoral tightness following his last outing against the Astros. Woo is recovering well but will miss the game as his routine has been disrupted. Meanwhile, the Seattle Seahawks prepare for a Thursday Night Football matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, both holding 2-1 records.

A win would position the Seahawks second in the NFC West standings, extending their recent dominance over the Cardinals with seven consecutive victories. The Cardinals will also contend with the loss of starting running back James Conner, sidelined for the season with a foot injury. Coverage for the Seahawks game begins at 3:00 PM, with kickoff at 5:15 PM on KPUG.
