Before we head into the negatives of the Dallas Sports world yesterday, we should look on the positive that came out of last night. In a game where we knew there would be a pitcher's duel, Felix Hernandez came out on top of the match up. Hernandez and Darvish both pitched 7 innings, but King Felix did not give up any runs in his outing striking out 9. Darvish gave up 2 runs keeping the Rangers in the game. Thanks to some errors by the Seattle defense in the bottom of the 9th inning, Leonys Martin got the walk off single bloop into left center field giving the Rangers a 3 to 2 victory over the Mariners. They look to take the series this afternoon in the last game of this four game series.
HIGHLIGHTS: Rangers vs. Mariners Highlights
While the Rangers were given a win by the Mariners last night, the Mavericks failed to beat the Memphis Grizzlies. With this loss the Mavericks will have to face the dreaded San Antonio Spurs who are the number one seed in the Western Conference. The Mavs took the Grizzlies in what felt like a playoff game into overtime last night. Unfortunately, Monta Ellis failed at making a basket off the inbound with 1 second left in the game. The chances of the Mavericks doing anything in the playoffs fell dramatically having to play the Spurs. They have not beat them since St. Patrick's in 2012! The only positive thing I can say is you never know what can happen.
HIGHLIGHTS: Mavericks vs. Grizzlies
Game 1 for the Dallas Stars in their first playoff series in six seasons did not start out anyway they had hoped. At the end of 1 period the Stars already had 3 to nothing deficit to dig themselves out of! Then at the 9:04 mark in the 2nd period Matt Beleskey would get a goal to extend the lead four to nothing. By that point you would believe that the game is over, but not so fast! The Captain Jamie Benn scores his first ever playoff goal 16:36 in the 2nd period. Colton Sceviour gets one of his own only two minutes later. The Stars would go into the 2nd intermission riding a wave of confidence. With only 6:07 left in the 3rd period Seguin would make it only a one goal game! Unfortunately they fall to the Ducks 4 to 3 in Game 1 of the Western Division Series, and are down in the series 1 game to nothing. I still feel confident in the Stars because showed a never give up attitude, and maybe after first game the butterflies might be out of their stomachs! The next game of the series will be in Anaheim at 9:00 central time.
