Mariners Blank Blue Jays In First Playoff Game Since 2001
In a spirited first showing, the Swans controlled the ball and territory for long periods but the visitors gradually wore them down to reveal they are well placed to improve on a 13th-placed finish last season.
TORONTO -- Right-hander Luis Castillo pitched 7 1/3 innings, Cal Raleigh homered and the visiting Seattle Mariners defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 4-0 Friday in the opener of an American League wild-card series.
Clara Fitzpatrick made a stirring return after two seasons on the sidelines due to visa issues and an ACL injury, and Saints midfielder Molly McDonald (13 disposals) showed that she is ready to emerge as a key player in her fourth season.
With the scores tight in the second term, Shierlaw kicked two goals in as many minutes to open up a 21-point lead that the Saints never looked like giving up, despite it being a memorable occasion for the Swans in front of 8264 fans.
Wilson was still in his uniform replaying the loss that included a fourth-and-1 at the Indianapolis 5 in overtime. Wilson's pass was knocked down in the end zone to end the game, as teammate KJ Hamler slammed his helmet repeatedly into the end zone turf. Hamler came open on an in-cutting route for a potential game-winning TD, but Wilson was looking to his left.
It will be the first time a professional Australian e-sports team joins a global league on a permanent basis, NBL Oz Gaming to be based in the United States and join fellow expansion sides from Shanghai and Mexico City in the 25-team competition.
Georgia Patrikios had a game-high 18 disposals and added strength to the Saints' midfield in her first match after sitting out season six when choosing not to meet vaccination requirements, while Tarni White gathered 17 touches.

Oct 7 (Reuters) - Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is still going through the National Football League's concussion protocol and is seeing outside specialists, head coach Mike McDaniel said on Friday.
The NFL and the NFL Players Association have since said in a joint statement that modifications to the concussion protocol are needed to enhance player safety. (Reporting by Frank Pingue in Toronto; Editing by Ken Ferris)
First-year coach Nathaniel Hackett and quarterback Russell Wilson sat near the nine-time Pro Bowler's locker after Thursday's 12-9 loss to dissect what transpired without counting missed opportunities against the Colts.
‘I remember one Friday we were in Leeds and we were going for a little stroll to walk off the car journey, down a little cul-de-sac, and the manager made us stop at the end. He had us stretching, imagine opening your curtains now and seeing 20 England ladies in shell-suits at that time!
"I think it's a combination of everybody getting used to each other down in that region. You can never practice that region enough and we have to execute better, we have to coach better, we have to come up with better plays and we have to run the ball more.
Three of those turnovers came in the first quarter before Simmons had managed a single assist, the Heat defence anticipating a pass from the Australian who has faced intense criticism over his reluctance to shoot.
He was cleared to return to the Buffalo game after being evaluated for a concussion by an unaffiliated neurotrauma consultant but his treatment has since put the NFL's concussion protocol under scrutiny.
Matches at Wembley are becoming increasingly common for the Lionesses, but Scragg is one of the few women to have played at the old Wembley, having taken part in two 15-minute matches against Scotland as a warm-up to the men's FA Cup final between Manchester United and Crystal Palace in 1990.
"When we built the system, we built the system that was a combination of both our stuff and his stuff," Hackett said of Wilson. "We wanted to be sure that we were doing it -- a lot of the stuff carried over. ... I think we definitely want to take a hard look at everything that he's done successfully and make sure we're accommodating him as much as possible so that he feels comfortable. But at the same time, we want to do things that our players do. It's a different team than the team that he was on in the past. So we just want to make sure we're doing all the right stuff."
"Of course, right now, I would much rather have run the ball and then kicked the field goal to take more time off, but in that situation, I thought it was a good play call. It was my decision to do that and (we) just need to execute better."
In that situation," Hackett said of the fourth-down call, "I wanted to have a very good protection, wanted to get a first down to finish the game and not just a field goal. The defense had been playing great and wanted to finish it off for them. I wanted to be somewhat aggressive, but not too aggressive and in the end, we have to execute the play better.
