Here is the latest Washington, Oregon and Alaska sports news from The Associated Press
SEATTLE (AP) – The Seattle Mariners will have right-hander Hisashi Iwakuma under contract for the 2015 season. The Mariners announced that Iwakuma’s $7 million option was vested based on his on-field performance. Iwakuma missed the first month of the 2014 season but went 15-9 with a 3.52 ERA in 28 starts. In 91 career games with Seattle, Iwakuma is 38-20 with a 3.07 ERA. General manager Jack Zduriencik said at the end of the season that Iwakuma would be returning for 2015.
EVERETT, Wash. (AP) – The shooting at Marysville-Pilchuck High School last Friday cancelled the football team’s playoff game with Oak Harbor, and in a gesture of sportsmanship Oak Harbor forfeited. The Marysville-Pilchuck team returned the gesture this week by delivering the Wesco 3A North title trophy to Oak Harbor.
UNDATED (AP) – The No. 5 Oregon Ducks host the Stanford Cardinal at Autzen Stadium tomorrow in a battle of two powerhouses in the Pac-12’s North Division. The Cardinal are the only Pac-12 team that Marcus Mariota has never defeated. Mariota leads the nation with 10.47 yards per pass attempt.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) – Daniel Sedin scored a power-play goal 2:45 into overtime, off an assist from twin brother Henrik, and Vancouver bounced back from a blown lead and beat Montreal. Daniel took a feed from Henrik off the rush and scored against Carey Price for his third goal of the season after the Canucks squandered a 2-0 lead in the third period. Nick Bonino and Brad Richardson scored for Vancouver (7-3). Ryan Miller made 28 saves.
