Pitcher Steven Jungers leaped from the mound for the second time in a matter of minutes and yelled towards his Gonzaga teammates.

Gonzaga evens WCAC baseball series with comeback over St. John’s
Sport 3 is at 1 p.m. Sunday at Nationals Youth Baseball Academy in Southeast Washington.
“I’ve form of placed on a persona this yr the place I get actually fired up when something [like that] occurs,” Jungers stated. “And that’s occurred rather a lot this yr.”
It was a significant victory for a group making its first look within the WCAC championship sequence in additional 20 years. And in contrast to in Gonzaga’s 9-3 loss Friday, the Eagles saved a high-powered Cadets offense quiet within the late innings.
Second-seeded St. John’s (22-7) obtained on the board first, capitalizing on errors by fifth-seeded Gonzaga (16-12), and prolonged its result in 3-0 within the third inning on successful from first baseman Flynn Howard.
Even with the shaky begin, Gonzaga pitcher Bryson Moore recovered, permitting only one hit in his subsequent three innings.
“These guys proceed to struggle after they’re backed right into a nook,” Eagles Coach Chad Carroll stated. “Even once we go down three runs, the struggle by no means stops with these boys.”
Marcus LeClair, a Virginia commit and one of many “finest pure hitters round,” in accordance with Carroll, obtained the offense going. LeClair rocketed a pitch from Ben Thomason for a house run to place Gonzaga on the board. The junior designated hitter completed 3 for 3.
“For him to return out and play like this at present, it’s nice for the group and even higher for him, for his self-confidence,” teammate Nick Morabito stated.
The Eagles scored three runs within the backside of the fifth inning — Jake Gupton, Joseph Zorc and LeClair had hits, and base working was chargeable for the remaining — to take their first lead of the sequence.
Moore would get only one extra inning on the mound, and after strolling the primary batter within the high of the sixth, he retired the subsequent three. As Moore struck out Adam Troch — who had reached base his earlier three at-bats — he, too, leaped off the mound in pleasure.
One win separates Gonzaga from its first WCAC title since 2000. The Cadets, in the meantime, have gained the previous six championships.
“St. John’s has been right here a very long time,” Jungers stated. “It’s time to take them down.”

Washington pulls away to beat No. 10 Michigan 27-17 in rematch
Will Rogers threw for 271 yards and a pair of first-half touchdowns, Jonah Coleman’s 1-yard TD with 6:22 left gave Washington the lead, and the Huskies beat No. 10 Michigan 27-17 on Saturday night in a rematch of last season’s College Football Playoff championship game.
This time around was far more competitive than that night in Houston last January when Michigan romped to its first national title since 1997. It also had a different outcome as the Huskies (4-2, 2-1 Big Ten) used an offensive outburst in the first half and two key turnovers in the fourth quarter to take down the Wolverines.
The loss snapped Michigan’s 24-game Big Ten regular season win streak.
Rogers threw touchdowns of 3 yards to Denzel Boston and 16 yards to Giles Jackson as the Huskies built a 14-0 lead early in the second quarter. That lead evaporated as Michigan (4-2, 2-1) finally found some offensive rhythm going to backup quarterback Jack Tuttle after Alex Orji was ineffective early in the game.
But Tuttle committed two turnovers in the final 10 minutes and Washington capitalized.
Tuttle fumbled with 8:02 left after being hit by Von Tunuufi and Logan Sagapolu recovered at the Michigan 32. Coleman rumbled 27 yards on the first play and three plays later scored from the 1 to give Washington a 24-17 lead.
On Michigan’s next possession, Tuttle was intercepted by Kamren Fabiculanan, one of the few returnees for Washington from the team that lost in January, with 3:24 remaining. The Huskies got a key pass interference call against Michigan and Grady Gross hit a 32-yard field goal with 1:06 left to put the final touches on the victory.
Rogers finished 21-of-31 passing and threw his first interception in more than a calendar year early in the fourth quarter. Rogers had gone 269 consecutive pass attempts without a pick before being intercepted by Ernest Hausman.
Coleman added 80 yards rushing.
Donovan Edwards rushed for 95 yards and his 39-yard TD run looked reminiscent of his two long scoring sprints he had in the championship against Washington. But leading rusher Kaleel Mullings was held in check and finished with just 49 yards on 14 carries.
The Wolverines were going nowhere with Orji at quarterback and were being outgained 163-47 midway through the second quarter when Tuttle took over. He finished just 10-of-18 passing for 98 yards, but did throw an 8-yard TD pass to Colston Loveland on the opening drive of the second half that gave Michigan a 17-14 lead.
The Takeaway
Michigan: Is Tuttle finally the answer at quarterback for Michigan? Just the threat of the downfield passing game with the grad transfer under center opened up the offense for the Wolverines, but the two turnovers in the fourth quarter can’t be minimized.
Washington: Clock management continues to be an issue for the Huskies. It popped up late in their loss to rival Washington State in the Apple Cup and emerged again late in the first half against Michigan. Washington badly handled the final seconds of the first half that helped lead to a blocked field goal.
Up Next
Michigan: After an open weekend, the Wolverines are at Illinois on Oct. 19.
Washington: At Iowa next Saturday.

Mom, young son run from crazed otter who nearly drowned boy at Washington state marina, startling new footage shows
A crazed otter is seen menacing a family at a Washington state marina moments after it nearly drowned a boy it dragged off a dock, a shocking new video revealed.
The footage was taken last month, just after the twisted critter targeted a mom and her young son, according to KIRO 7 News in Seattle.
The youngster narrowly survived being dragged underwater by the rampaging river otter — which also attacked the boy’s horrified mom during a morning walk, authorities said.
The youngster was with his mother on a dock at Bremerton Marina in Kitsap County the morning of Sept. 12 when the otter pounced, according to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.
None of the videos that KIRO 7 received from the Port of Bremerton show the actual attack happening, but in one clip, the terrified mom and son can be seen running down the dock — with the otter in hot pursuit moments later.
The group appeared to calm down before leaving the area, the clip showed.
Once they get up the exit ramps, the brazen otter hops back on the dock.
Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife officials said that in most cases, otters tend to shy away from people, KIRO 7 reported.
The boy — who has not been identified publicly — was taken to the hospital to be treated for bites and scratches.
Wildlife officials said they trapped and killed an otter in the area and were testing it for rabies.
The stunning marina attack came just days after a woman in Malaysia was left bloody and crying after she was mauled by eight otters during a jog.

Michigan vs. Washington: Where to watch, game information, betting line
No. 10 Michigan will play in its first road game of the season when it takes on Washington on Saturday night. While neither team looks the same from last season, the game will be a rematch of January’s National Championship Game where Michigan won handily. The Huskies, 3-2, are searching for their first signature win in the Big Ten and the Huskies could get that by defeating the Wolverines.
Michigan and Washington are meeting for the 15th time ever. The Wolverines hold a 9-5 all-time record over the Huskies and Michigan has won the past three meetings between the two teams. The last time Michigan was in Seattle to face Washington, the Wolverines lost 23-18 in 2001.
The Wolverines are hoping to see their passing attack progress on Saturday against the No. 6 Washington passing defense. But Michigan will likely need to rely on a strong run game behind Kalel Mullings and Donovan Edwards, along with stifling defense on the road.
Before the game, here is some important information you sould know.
Spread: Michigan +1.5 (-108)
Over/under total: 41 points
Moneyline: Michigan +102, Washington -122
