Triple triples.
Sarah Wright enjoys the three-bagger so much, she went out and nabbed three of them Monday.
The Coupeville Middle School eighth grader went wild with the bat, as she and her fellow Wolves paced the South Central Sox little league softball squad to a 16-4 win over host South Skagit Lightning.
While an 8-5 loss at Oak Harbor Wednesday gave the Sox — which draws players from Coupeville and South Whidbey — a split on the week, the offensive power show was all the talk.
Wright, who had played five games in two days over the weekend while at a select team tourney in Selah, was en fuego at the plate.
Playing under constant threat of cold rain, she bashed triples in the first, fourth and fifth innings.
Keeping pace, fellow Wolves Ema Smith (two singles, a stolen base), Tamika Nastali (single, stolen base) and Veronica Crownover (three singles, two stolen bases) all chipped in to the hitting clinic.
The victory and the hot hitting made up for the weather conditions.
“It was cold and it was wet … but fun was had by all; these two teams really enjoy competing against each other,” said softball mom Kelly Crownover.
The Wolf contingent was still on point against Oak Harbor, even though their team wasn’t able to pull out the win.
Wright slammed a double, then picked up two more singles and a stolen base, while Nastali had a stolen base and Crownover rapped out a single.
