Last week was a busy period for Westside sports, characterized by dominant shutouts in baseball and high-scoring offensive explosions in fastpitch softball.

Ballard high school had a particularly strong showing across multiple sports, including a crushing 11-1 baseball victory over Lakeside and a 10-0 shutout against Rainier Beach. Chief Sealth also displayed defensive prowess in baseball, recording two separate 10-0 victories over Rainier Beach during the week.

In fastpitch softball, West Seattle showcased an unstoppable offense, highlighted by a massive 25-3 win over Franklin, though they later fell in a narrow 13-12 slugfest against Seattle Prep. Kennedy Catholic also made headlines with a staggering 20-0 victory over Auburn. Meanwhile, on the soccer field, competition remained tight, with Ballard and West Seattle battling to a 1-1 draw and Kennedy Catholic securing several narrow shutout wins to maintain their momentum.
