Lorenzo Romar’s Washington Huskies will begin their 2014-15 season Friday, Nov. 14 at 7:30 p.m. against South Carolina State at Alaska Airlines Arena and will have 30 of their 31 regular-season games broadcast on either ESPN, Fox Sports One or the Pac-12 Networks, according to a schedule announced Monday by the Pac-12 Conference.
UW coach Chris Petersen clearly did a lot of “coaching up” in the week since his Huskies escaped with a 59-52 win over upstart Eastern Washington, especially defensively. With linebacker Shaq Thompson scoring on a 36-yard interception return and 52-yard fumble run back, Washington (3-0) rolled to a stands-emptying 44-19 victory over Illinois Saturday.
A game destined for a disappointing draw for the Sounders suddenly catapulted into the win column in the 94th minute when late sub Andy Rose scored from 15 yards to give Seattle a 3-2 triumph over Real Salt Lake Friday night at the Clink.
The last time the Seahawks played the Chargers, in 2010, QB Philip Rivers threw for career highs of 55 attempts (completing 29) and 453 yards. He may be tempted again to go nuts Sunday at Qualcomm Stadium, given the shorthandedness in the Seahawks secondary.
Another weak outing from starter Hisashi Iwakuma cost the Mariners the game and the series to the Houston Astros Wednesday at Safeco, the 5-2 defeat making for 2-1 series loss. The Astros won six of 10 games at Safeco in the concluded season series.
The Mariners Monday activated OF Michael Saunders from the 15-day disabled list and were to start him in right field Monday night, the first of three games against the Houston Astros at Safeco Field. Saunders has not been with the club since July 10 when he left a game against Minnesota in the eighth inning
Backfilling their thinnest positions Monday, the Seahawks added a cornerback and an offensive tackle to the 53-man roster and placed CB Jeremy Lane on the injured reserve list, but he is designated to return this season. Lane re-injured a groin muscle Thursday in the season-opening win over Green Bay.
Still in contention for an American League wild card berth this season, the Mariners Monday announced their tentative regular-season schedule for 2015, which begins with a three-game series against the Los Angeles Angels April 6 at Safeco Field. The 1:10 p.m. opener will be the first season-opening day game since 2010 and the first time
After scoring 21 runs in three consecutive wins over Texas, the Mariners failed to generate any offense Sunday and lost to the Rangers 1-0 in Arlington, TX., putting a momentary crimp in their run at the AL’s second wild card spot. A sacrifice fly by Adrian Beltre off James Paxton in the sixth inning became
