What is the story about?
Good morning! It was so great to see everyone at our fifth annual Tim Cantu MemoriaLL SoftbaLL game yesterday. Thank you to both the new and familiar faces who showed up and helped us reenact a good old fashioned Mariners blow out loss (or win! depending on which team you were on).
The Mariners remain alive with their 2-1 win over the Colorado Rockies yesterday, and will now return home to face the Houston Astros after a day off today. As Ryan mentioned in his recap, the team’s “tragic number” is still
at two.
