Former Blanchet, UW drives in winning run in 10th inning
As a kid growing up in Seattle and going to countless games at Safeco Field, Jake Lamb dreamed of being a hero in a variety of situations, like driving in a game-winning run in extra innings. His memories of Ken Griffey Jr. and Jay Buhner playing that hero are embedded in his mind.
Monday night, Lamb got to play the hero with a large group of family and friends in attendance, driving in the game-winning run with a bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the 10th inning. But unlike his childhood daydreams — the Mariners’ didn’t win.
