The Lake Washington High School baseball team held off a seventh-inning rally Wednesday to improve their record to 7-1 in KingCo play.

The Kangs began the game with a four-run first inning and increased that lead to 9-1 by the bottom of the sixth. Sammamish put up four runs during the top of the seventh but it wasn’t enough to overcome the deficit.

The Totems committed five errors, leading to two unearned runs during the game, while Lake Washington had just one error in the field.

Nick Johnson led the Kangs at the plate with three RBI, while Theo Alexander, Shawn Gray, Steve Semler and Jeremy Parkhurst all had an RBI each. Alac Wong had a triple during the contest.

Lake Washington starting pitcher Robert Hill pitched five strong innings, scattering four hits, while striking out six and allowing one earned run for the win.
