West Seattle High Softball Runs Away From Chief Sealth in Absolute Slugfest
The Wildcats came to play Thursday at Nino Cantu Southwest Athletic Complex, and they made sure everyone knew it. West Seattle High School's softball team absolutely dominated their crosstown rivals from Chief Sealth International High School, posting a commanding 22-9 victory in their annual matchup. This wasn't a pitchers' duel. This was a full-blown offensive explosion.
Bats Were Out in Full Force
West Seattle's lineup was relentless from the jump. Lila Whaley started things off with an RBI double in the first inning, and the Wildcats never looked back. The hits kept coming all game long, with Stella Eley, Marina Strange, and Julia Herron all finding their way on base. But the real moment of the day belonged to Kaila Ignacio, who took one all the way around the bases for an inside-the-park home run that had the WSHS bench going wild.

Chief Sealth Fought But Came Up Short
On the other side, Chief Sealth had some bright spots. Ava Boisoneau and Dani Thach took their turns on the mound, and Zayda Fischer managed to avoid the tag and score, while Elia Lopez came through with a steal to keep things alive. Triana Tuia and Olivia Dunham held down the defense as best they could. But nine runs just wasn't going to cut it against West Seattle's explosive attack.
