Sports...briefly

At the start of the Mariners' final game of the 2007 season against the Texas Rangers, each youngster took a position on the field, followed by the real Mariners. Each youngster received an autographed baseball from the player he was replaced by.

Riggleman's position was center field, so he received a signed ball from All-Star Ichiro Suzuki.

And the game? The Mariners beat the Rangers, 4-2.

Golf:

The foursome of Josh Yarnell, Matt Graves, David Janney and Matthew Carlock won last Saturday's ninth annual Mark Hennelly Science Scholarship Golf Tournament at Husum Hills with a 6-under par score of 29.

Individual honors during the nine-hole, four-player scramble went to Steve Morgan (men's long drive), Jill Morgan (women's long drive), Alan Newman (men's closest to pin) and Christine Pfister (women's closest to pin).

The biggest winner of all, however, was the Mark Hennelly Science Scholarship Fund, which netted approximately $1,900, according to scholarship committee member Steve Larsen.

The Hennelly Science Scholarship is awarded in the spring to Columbia High School students who are going on to college or technical school to study science or math.
