In a Thursday night for the ages, Mariners win 10–9 in extra innings
SEATTLE - All night, there was a buzz in the air. Fans posting pictures of T-Mobile Park’s pristine green grass, clearly energized, clearly excited. A thirteen-year-old nailed the national anthem on an electric guitar, flipping the guitar over after his rendition to reveal a yellow “BELIEVE” placard. Even as the late-arriving crowd of 21,094 filled in, the dread of Tuesday night and early Wednesday evening had dissipated, replaced by a sense of calm.
Last night, the Mariners skipped batting practice to break out of a funk. Tonight, to hear Scott Servais tell it before the game, it was about keeping a good thing going, staying loose, not over-thinking things.
