The West Seattle High School Wildcats will play tomorrow night for third place in the district-championship tournament, after losing to Lake Washington tonight, 6-1, at Southwest Athletic Complex.

It was close through five innings, really a pitcher’s duel, with ace (and Metro League MVP) Gabby Wenn [above] on the mound for WSHS and Tori Bivens for LWHS. The Wildcats led 1-0 after Lucy Mead came in to score on an RBI single from Sam Hemmert.

In the sixth, concurrent with the arrival of rain, LWHS’s Kylisa Hull scored to tie it up [above], and then in the seventh, they loaded the bases before Marissa Ewald‘s triple to centerfield started the scoring that ended up 6-1, Kangaroos.

WSHS has already earned a spot in the state tournament, as the district’s top five will move on to that level, but in the meantime, they’ll play Eastside Catholic at SWAC tomorrow, 5 pm.
