Mariners are still #1!

It was a disappointing loss Saturday against the Athletics. The game got off to a bad start. Bottom of the first, runners on first and second, Brantley hit a pop fly to center field. It was a great hit and the base coaches thought there was no way it would be caught and sent the runners. The Athletics caught it, our runners didn't know what to do and the the inning ended with a triple play. The Athletics really wanted the win. They caught pretty much everything that the Mariners sent to outfield. Not only that, they had a couple of double plays. The Mariners lost 5 to 12. They finished the season 12 and 2. We were afraid they would be tied with the White Sox, but the White Sox also lost on Saturday so the Mariners are #1. The White Sox still have one game to make up. If they win, there will be a 3-way tie for 2nd place, but the White Sox should be in 2nd place based on the tie breaker.
