For the first time in its 50 year history, the West Seattle Little League swept the District 7 All-Star tournaments, winning the 9-10, 10-11 and the 11-12 age divisions.

All three teams were undefeated and will advance to state tournaments across Washington later this month.

District 7 tournament play began on June 21st for the 9-10 All-Star team. Their first game was against PacWest Little League, the league that hosted both the 9-10 and 10-11 tournaments.

West Seattle pulled ahead after a 4-4 tie in the sixth to win 8-5. In game two, the South Highline National Little League All-Stars proved no match for West Seattle pitching with West Seattle Little League winning 7-2. Game three against Renton Little League had West Seattle Little League leading the entire game, scoring 10 runs on 10 hits, resulting in a 10-8 victory.

The championship game was a rematch against the South Highline Nationals and proved to be a nail biter. The Nationals lead 3-2 at the end of the first inning. West Seattle Little League took the lead with a three-run homer in the second inning. The game was tied three times, in the third, fourth and fifth innings. West Seattle pulled ahead 8-7 in the bottom of the fifth inning and secured the victory by ending the game on a third out at home plate with the bases loaded.

The 10-11 team also played at PacWest Little League fields, beginning their tournament on June 21st with a decisive 10-1 win over PacWest. Game one included a West Seattle Little League homerun and a double play. West Seattle pitchers delivered a no-hitter in game two with a lopsided 24-0 defeat of South Highline American Little League. Game three against the South Highline Nationals proved to be the most exciting game of the tournament. Down 6-4 in the bottom of the sixth inning, West Seattle rallied to win 7-6 with bats swinging. That momentum followed the team to the championship game on June 28th, where they again faced the South Highline Nationals. West Seattle only allowed one hit, threw down a double play and also knocked another homerun out of the park, resulting in a 10-run mercy rule win in the fifth inning with a final score of 10-0.

On June 28th, both the 9-10 and the 10-11 teams returned to Bar-S Field victorious to cheer on the 11-12 players in the Majors tournament opener. West Seattle kept the winning streak alive with solid pitching, defeating PacWest 3-1. Game two followed on June 29th with West Seattle's formidable offense putting on an impressive display, including a homerun, easily defeating the South Highline Nationals 11-2. The strong bats continued in game three for West Seattle Little League with three homeruns resulting in an 8-3 win over Renton Little League.
