PORT ORCHARD--A 13-12 slugfest loss to Camas spelled the end of the season for West Seattle at the 2015 Washington State Intermediate Baseball State Tournament.
Monday night's all-star Little League loss was the second of the tournament for the Westsiders, coming on the heels of a 15-2 loss to Everett in their opener Sunday.
West Seattle had received a first round bye going in, but a long stay at the South Kitsap West complex in Port Orchard was not to be.
The Westsiders came in as the District 7 tournament champions after taking the title with three straight wins at the PacWest complex between Burien and SeaTac.
West Seattle was managed for the all-star tournaments by Rick Southhall, who was assisted by coaches Michael Murphy and Mike Messinger.
Players for the Westside team were Adam Chin, Konrad Gerhardt, Will Holmes, Eli Markham, Justin Murphy, Isaac Patchen, Dylan Pool, Cole Stephenson, John Summers, Dominic Taylor and Ben Trigg.
Intermediate play features mounds 50 feet away and 70-foot basepaths, between the age 11-12 Little League Majors and the full diamond used by the age 13-14 Juniors.
