Here is the latest Washington, Oregon and Alaska sports news from The Associated Press
SEATTLE (AP) – Roenis Elias took a no-hitter into the fifth inning, Dustin Ackley led a potent Seattle offense with a home run and four RBI, and the Mariners beat the Chicago White Sox 13-3 last night. Elias (9-9) allowed only one walk before Conor Gilaspie hit a one-out double in the fifth. Elias allowed a season-low two hits, walked three, and struck out five.
SEATTLE (AP) – Mariners utilityman Willie Bloomquist is scheduled for arthroscopic right knee surgery today. Bloomquist is unsure how he suffered the injury. He first felt discomfort on July 23 and was placed on the 15-day disabled list the next day with what was referred to as a bruised knee. Bloomquist is hitting .278 in 47 games while appearing at seven different positions for the Mariners.
DENVER (AP) – The Super Bowl teams slogged through a preseason opener delayed by lightning and a flurry of flags last night before linebacker Steven Jackson’s end zone interception of Terrelle Pryor’s pass sealed the Denver Broncos’ 21-16 win over the Seattle Seahawks. In between a 46-minute delay, both starting offenses put together long touchdown drives that ate up more than 9 minutes.
SEATTLE (AP) – Camille Little had 21 points and 13 rebounds and the Seattle Storm used a 13-0 first-quarter run to build a double-digit in an 88-68 victory over the Eastern Conference-leading Atlanta Dream last night. Crystal Langhorne added 17 points and Temeka Johnson had 16 to help Seattle (11-20) keep alive its faint hopes of making the WNBA playoffs for the 11th straight season.
