SEATTLE (AP) —

The Seattle Mariners sent slumping catcher Jesus Montero to the minor leagues Thursday, a year after acquiring him in trade full of potential that hasn’t panned out for either side.

The Mariners optioned Montero to Triple-A Tacoma. He has 72 hours to join the club.

The 23-year-old Montero is hitting .208 with three home runs and nine RBIs. He’s also been a designated hitter, and there are concerns about his impatience at the plate.

A blind draw determined the opening round of the 2013 state high school soccer championships and, unfortunately, the tournament’s two undefeated teams on the season were paired on the pitch Thursday night.

The Colony Knights came back to tie the match in the second half and defeat the Juneau-Douglas Crimson Bears 2-1 in overtime at Eagle River High School.

“It was really tough,” JDHS coach Gary Lehnhart said. “It was an absolutely great game though, we played well. We just didn’t score enough, and they did.”
