MLB Alonso’s HR Off Chapman in 11th Lifts M’s Over Yankees By Mike Fitzpatrick The Associated Press NEW YORK — All of a sud- den, even left-handed hitters are handling Aroldis Chapman’s heat. Yonder Alonso homered on a 100 mph fastball from Chap- man in the 11th inning, and the Seattle Mariners outpitched the New York Yankees for a 2-1 vic- tory Friday night. “I’m just trying not to strike out, to be honest with you,” Alonso said. “He’s as tough as it gets, no question about it. He’s got electric stuff.” Mike Zunino homered and had three hits for the Mariners, right in the middle of a crowded race for the second AL wild card. They used seven pitchers to hold down the Yankees, who lead the wild-card chase but trail first- place Boston by 4 1/2 games in the AL East. Alonso entered as a pinch hit- ter in the ninth and sent a drive to center field with two outs in the 11th against Chapman (4-3), the $86 million reliever who re- cently lost his job as closer. “It’s difficult right now, and what I’m trying to do is get out of it. That’s my focus,” Chap- man said through a transla- tor. “You’ve got to keep fighting. Don’t give up.” The struggling lefty was booed again as he walked off the mound. “It’s frustrating for Chappy, FRANK FRANKLIN II / The Associated Press it’s frustrating for us,” Yankees Seattle Mariners’ Yonder Alonso follows through on a home run during the 11th inning of a baseball game against the New York Yankees on Friday in New York. manager Joe Girardi said. “We’re trying to get it right.” needed it to,” Zunino said. “The up five hits and struck out six on hamstring.

Continued from Sports 1 three passes for 53 yards, with a 27-yard touchdown pass to Tyler Flanagan.

Against Steilacoom, however, projected starter Nole Wollan was under center, keeping the first snap and packing it to the right, then back to the left for what turned out to be a 38-yard gain.

Elite Female Athletes Balance Climbing Huge Mountains, Raising Tiny Humans

Steve Ringman / Seattle Times Winthrop-based athlete and endurance coach Brittany Aae lets her 13-month-old daughter, Rumi, get in on the action at Fun Rock, a cragging area in the Methow Valley that’s popular with kids and families. Mom and daughter also have been hiking, hunting and fishing together. “I hope she likes climbing, but really I won’t force her to do it if she doesn’t enjoy it,” Aae says.
