Bellingham, WASports

The Mariners are on the brink of discovering their playoff opponent after the Detroit Tigers defeated the Cleveland Guardians 2-1 in Game 1 of their series, with Tigers ace Tarik Skubal striking out 14 batters to tie a franchise postseason record. Game 2 will broadcast tomorrow at 9:30 AM on KPUG, and the victor will face the Mariners this weekend in the ALDS. In NFL news, Seahawks cornerback Riq Woolen may be traded by the November 4 deadline as teams are reportedly interested in his situation. Woolen, who made the Pro Bowl in his rookie season, has seen his playing time decrease following the return of Devon Witherspoon. His performance has drawn criticism after allowing key catches in a recent game against the 49ers.

Meanwhile, Storm rookie Dominique Malonga received recognition by being selected to the WNBA All-Rookie team, contributing significantly during the playoffs. Malonga averaged nearly 8 points and 5 rebounds per game during the regular season and stepped up her performance in the playoffs. Her achievement marks her as the fifth Storm player to earn All-Rookie honors.
