The Liberty baseball team finished one game short of state after falling to West Seattle 2-1 Tuesday.

The Patriots (9-15) won six out of their final eight games, including three of four in the KingCo 3A tournament to make a deep playoff run after starting the year 0-9.

On Tuesday, West Seattle scored the go-ahead runs in the bottom of the second. Liberty answered in the top of the third with an RBI from Loren Archibald, but couldn’t score again.

Ben Wessel pitched seven innings for Liberty and allowed just three hits and one earned run.

West Seattle moves on to the 3A state tournament to take on Timberline Saturday.
