Seahawks' Kenneth Walker: Rested through two preseason games
Walker did not participate in Saturday's 16-15 preseason loss to the Titans.

Portland walks-off Wenatchee for WCL Title
Portland scored two runs in the bottom of the 9th to edge Wenatchee 6-5 to win its first-ever West Coast League Championship Friday night. The game was tied 4-4 in the top of the 9th when Wenatchee's James Castagnola came through with an RBI-double to give the AppleSox a 5-4 lead. It came down to 3-year Wenatchee starter Quincy Vasser, a Brewster native and coach Mitch Darlington's first recruit 4-years ago, to seal the victory. Vasser coaxed the first two outs but then loaded the bases, surrendering the game-tying run on a bases-loaded walk. Conner Stewart grounded a slow, bounding ball to the left side of the infield where Castagnola bobbled, allowing the winning run to score.
