Mariner exhibition opener

Some former Timber Rattlers were involved in Seattle's 4-3 loss in ten innings to the San Diego Padres yesterday. It was the exhibition opener for both teams.

Ryan Rowland-Smith ('02, '03) got the start for the M's.
In what more or less looked like a continuation of how he finished last season, pitcher Ryan Rowland-Smith looked sharp in two shutout innings, allowing two hits with a walk.

Rob Johnson ('05) had the hit to send the game to extra innings. He hit a solo homer with one out in the top of the ninth and was 1-for-2 in the game.

Stephen Kahn ('05) took the loss as he allowed a run in the bottom of the tenth. Ex-Fort Wayne Wizard Kyle Blanks drove in the winning run with a two-out RBI double. Kahn walked a pair and did not strikeout a batter in 2/3 of an inning.

The rest of the ex-Rattlers in the game:
Mike Wilson ('05): 0-for-2
Jeff Clement ('05): 1-for-3
Greg Halman ('07): 0-for-1, BB
Bryan LaHair ('04): 1-for-2, BB, run, RBI
Matt Tuiasosopo ('05): 1-for-3, 3B, RBI
Oswaldo Navarro ('04, '05): 0-for-2
