Recent regional varsity action saw a mix of dominant shutouts and high-scoring blowouts across baseball, fastpitch softball, and boys soccer.
One of the most lopsided baseball contests occurred on Monday, when Sammamish defeated Evergreen 34-1. In fastpitch softball, Tahoma showed similar dominance, posting a massive 24-0 shutout against Mt. Rainier and a 10-0 shutout over Kennedy Catholic. Seattle Prep also secured a high-scoring 30-10 win over Chief Sealth in softball action earlier in the week.
The soccer field featured several notable defensive performances and playoff implications. Foster earned a 2-0 playoff victory over Evergreen on Saturday, while Kennedy Catholic recorded back-to-back shutout wins against Kentridge and Auburn-Riverside.
Nathan Hale also proved formidable, routing West Seattle 7-1 before defeating Chief Sealth 3-1 later in the week. In baseball, Interlake showcased strong offense with an 11-1 win over Highline and a 19-5 victory against Evergreen.
