They lost, but they went down swinging.
The young guns on the Coupeville High School JV baseball squad couldn’t match up to host Klahowya Wednesday, getting ten-runned 16-6, but, before they did, the Wolves did some damage at the plate.
They plated four in the third and got big blows from Jake Hoagland and Brenden Gilbert, who each socked a triple.
Hoagland actually turned his blow into an unofficial inside the park home run due to “some help from the defense and some aggressive base coaching at third,” CHS coach Willie Smith said with a chuckle.
The Wolf freshman reached base three times, collecting another hit and a walk, while Jimmy Myers walked twice.
Jonathan Thurston came on in long relief after Coupeville’s starter was roughed up in the first and kept things close, whiffing seven over five innings.
The Wolves return to action with a tournament at South Whidbey today.
