W.F. West cruises by Rochester for eighth straight win

CHEHALIS — W.F. West’s lineup card reads like a mirror image most nights, and even head coach Jesse Elam admits he still does a double-take. On a roster that regularly features seven left-handed hitters in a nine-man order, the Bearcats spent another evening making opposing pitchers adjust, rolling past Rochester to extend their winning streak to eight games.

Elam said the left-handed surplus is impossible to ignore once the lineup is posted. “It’s one of those things you look at and just shake your head,” he noted, pointing out that six lefties were in the order during the latest victory. The imbalance has become a defining trait for a team that keeps finding ways to win, regardless of who’s on the mound for the opposition.

The win over Rochester keeps W.F. West perfect during the stretch and solidifies momentum heading into the heart of the schedule. With a lineup stacked from the left side and confidence rising by the game, the Bearcats appear poised to keep the streak alive.
