Everett baseball continues its tear by sweeping a four game set against the Bellevue Bulldogs yesterday. The Trojans are ranked number one in the Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges and are in first place in the NWAACC standings.
Monday night’s game was about as dramatic as a game can get. In the bottom of the seventh and final inning, pinch-hitter Corbin Duffy singled home the winning run in a walk-off finish that was punctuated by Duffy receiving high fives and helmet pats as the Trojans swarmed the field.
Staff writer AJ Hansen took this video of the walk-off single, and yes, that is his guttural “YES” as the wining run crossed the plate. Inside of every grizzled sports writer, there is a fan. Usually our cheering is on the inside.
In Major League news, the Mariners are still horrible. The M’s are an abysmal 8-14 heading into today’s game. The only teams that are worse are the usual suspects: Padres, Cubs, Marlins, Astros and the Blue Jays.
In quirky sports news, New York has three teams, and a possible fourth in the playoffs in two different sports. The Knicks and the Nets are well into their NBA playoff run, and for the first time in seven years, the New York Islanders are in the NHL playoffs, with the New York Rangers trying to squeak into the Stanley Cup run as well.
As a transplanted New Yorker, this is awesome news for the city. As a Seattle fan, I have no idea how it feels to live in a city with three, let alone two, teams in the playoffs at the same time.
