West Seattle's wild ride through the District 7 age 9-10 Little League baseball all-star tournament came to an unfortunate ending Sunday morning as the Westsiders fell to Renton, 18-1, in the if-necessary championship game.

The loss at the PacWest complex in SeaTac gave West Seattle a 5-2 record to show for the tournament, including three straight wins to come back through the losers bracket and an 8-7 win over Renton in the provisional championship Saturday morning.

The tournament was double elimination, meaning the Westsiders had to beat previously unbeaten Renton twice to take the title.

Renton now advances to the state tournament, which opens July 16 in Lynnwood.

West Seattle was managed by Mike Fahy, who was assisted by coaches Sean Eley and Brian Sherick.

Players were Tristan Buehring, Chase Dodson, Parker Eley, Caden Fahy, Connor Floyd, Wyatt Glover, Matthew Hazelgrove, Jordan Holloway, Brock Moore, Joe Sherick, Blake Taft, Bobby Trigg and Ryan Whitney.
The West Seattle league president is Noel Whorton.
