The Seattle Mariners look to recover from a disappointing 9-3 loss to the Washington Nationals, where they were tied in the seventh before collapsing in the 10th inning. Bryan Woo will take the mound for the Mariners in their series opener against the Minnesota Twins, as they aim to maintain their slim lead in the AL West. Bryce Miller, returning from elbow inflammation, is expected to pitch in Game 2 of the series. Meanwhile, the Bellingham Bells are opening their season on the road against the NightOwls, with new head coach Ed Knaggs at the helm. Joe Martin Field is hosting the 1A and 2A baseball semifinals, featuring top-seeded teams competing for a chance at the championship.

Sehome's boys soccer team enters their match with a perfect 19-0-2 record, hoping for a return to the state championship. The Mariners' recent struggles and the local sports scene highlight the competitive spirit in the region. The outcome of these games could significantly impact the standings and local enthusiasm for the teams.
