Mariners Notes:
Congrats to the DBacks who played as well this game as they had all season and earned the NOLL Majors TOC berth!

The Mariners got rattled and made a lot of little mistakes and it felt like the DBacks capitalized on each and every one of them. There were some bright spots - Clyde continues to crush the ball like it insulted his family; Chipper made a diving catch in CF; Rhino took over a team huddle to be a leader; Bullwinkle kept things from getting out of hand early with several clean blocks behind the dish; Big Dog is learning to be efficient and not just powerful on the mound - he threw 4 innings despite the squirelliness of his defense, and he would have gone longer if the score had been closer.
