West Seattle will meet Ballard for the Metro League fastpitch softball tournament title Friday, playing a 7 p.m. game at the Southwest Athletic Complex lower field.

West Seattle's Wildcats got there by virtue of a 15-7 victory over Eastside Catholic on Tuesday night after the Beavers edged Bainbridge, 4-2.

Both teams will advance into next week's Sea-King District 2 tournament.

It will be the first time two private schools have played in the Metro League final.

Chief Sealth, meanwhile, will play for the No. 7 and No. 8 Metro League seeds to district at 5 p.m. Friday against Roosevelt at the Southeast Athletic Complex near Rainier Beach.

The Seahawks fell into that game with a 12-2 loss to Holy Names that came on the heels of a 13-0 loss to West Seattle on Monday.

West Seattle scored eight runs in the second inning in Monday's game played at the SEAC to break open a 1-0 game, then tacked on four insurance runs in the third.
The Sea-King District 2 tournament will also take place at the SWAC and SEAC.
