Seattle Prep extended their losing streak to four on Tuesday, dropping them down to 1-8. They fell 10-6 to the Ballard Beavers. The Panthers were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Beavers apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in April of 2025.
Noelle Boyd was cooking despite her team's loss, going a perfect 2-for-2 with two runs, one triple, and two RBI. That triple was her first of the season. Another player making a difference was Hayden Downer, who went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases, one run, and one double.
As for Ballard, they pushed their record up to 7-2 with the victory, which was their third straight at home. Those home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 15.3 runs over those games.
On Ballard's side, Alexa Hunt spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and four unearned) runs on nine hits.
At the plate, Annika Jahn was a standout: she went 2-for-3 with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI. Wren Wald was another key player, going 2-for-4 with one triple, two RBI, and one run.
Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Seattle Prep will take on Liberty at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The Patriots' pitching crew has only allowed 1.9 runs per game this season, so the Panthers' hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Ballard, they will square off against Bishop Blanchet at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Bears have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 7.22 runs per game on average), something the Beavers will no doubt try to take advantage of.
