The Seattle Prep Panthers hosted the Chief Sealth Seahawks in a Metro League baseball matchup Monday, April 23 at Steve Cox park in White Center. Undefeated Seattle Prep came to the game defending a #1 Ranking in the State by the Seattle Times. Chief Sealth, 11-6 overall (8-5 league) entered the game with a solid season and a strong offense averaging 7.4 runs per game (MaxPreps).

The first two innings were warm ups, with both teams going scoreless. In the bottom of the third, Seattle Prep's Jackson Clough hit a solo homer over the left field fence to put Prep up 1-0. A follow up walk and base hit put Seattle prep up 2-0 after three innings.

That was all they would need. Chief Sealth scored 1 in the 4th but would never catch up. Seattle Prep put 2 more runs on the board in the 5th, then followed up with 3 more before closing it out with a 7-1 victory.

Max Winkelhake pitched 7 innings for the win. Nic Layton took a loss.
