Bellingham, WASports

The Seattle Mariners strive to end their three-game losing streak as they host the Cleveland Guardians in a crucial series opener tonight. Following a disappointing sweep by the Diamondbacks, the Mariners find themselves tied for second in the AL West, trailing the Astros by 4. 5 games. In local action, the Bellingham Bells achieved a walk-off victory against the Bend Elks, with Noah Cassie’s two-run single sealing the 4-3 win. Cassie contributed significantly, recording half of the team’s total hits while the Bells capitalized on drawing nine walks.

The Bells now embark on a road trip, starting with a three-game series against the Victoria HarbourCats. The Sounders are preparing for their inaugural group-stage match in the FIFA Club World Cup, needing to secure a top-two finish in their group to progress. Meanwhile, the Oklahoma City Thunder hope to bounce back in Game 4 of the NBA Finals against the Indiana Pacers, who currently lead the series 2-1. Coverage for the Thunder’s game begins at 4:30 PM, with tip-off at 5:30 PM.
