Sparked by strong defensive play from its Coupeville contingent, the Oak Harbor Babe Ruth baseball squad rolled to its sixth straight win Thursday.
The Wildcats earned a sweep in their two-game series against Anacortes, bouncing their foes 7-3.
James Besaw and Andre Eaton combined on the mound for the win and greatly benefited from the slick glove work shown behind them.
Oak Harbor turned two double plays — the first going from Thomas Anderson to Wolf Joey Lippo to Kamren Mebane, while the second was kicked off by Wolf shortstop Hunter Smith snagging a line drive.
Josh Margraff capped the web gems by pulling off a spectacular sliding catch in right field to close the fifth.
Besaw, who was making his first start, went the first two innings, then turned the ball over to Eaton. Coupeville’s Jake Pease caught both of them, anchoring the team from behind the plate.
