No softball today.
A scheduled doubleheader in Sultan has been postponed for now, after Coupeville High School softball co-coach Amy King was admitted to the hospital over the weekend.
King, who had been sick for several days, went to the ER with a 103 temperature.
After tests at Whidbey General revealed an abscess in her abdomen, she was transferred to Swedish Medical Center in Seattle.
In typical low-key style, she handled the set-back without missing a beat, snapping photos from her hospital window.
Meanwhile, as she’s waiting for the doctors to take the next step, she’s chafing to get back on the ball field, especially at a time when Whidbey is awash in sun.
“So I got a fun trip in an ambulance to the specialists,” King said. “They are hoping to put me out and drain it. Hope that’s all they need to do!
“We have softball games to play!!”
