West Seattle's impressive run all the way back from an opening loss at the state age 9-11 Little League Baseball all-star tournament ended with a 5-2 loss to Soundview of Northeast Tacoma in the loser's bracket final Friday.

That result left the Westsiders as the third place finishers in the tournament played mostly at the Lynndale field in Lynnwood with some games at nearby Mukilteo.

Soundview goes on to play Bellevue National for the state championship at 11 a.m. Saturday at Lynndale and needs two wins in a row.  The if-neccessary game is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Saturday.
