Scout Smith will not fade away.
Whiffing eight and putting the fear of God in any hitter who dared to dig in against her, the Coupeville hurler sparked her Whidbey 11/12 Little League softball all-star squad to a huge win Monday.
The 10-6 win, coming against South Skagit, came in a loser-out game and guarantees Whidbey at least one more afternoon of softball.
The Pirates, who have a roster made up of girls from North, Central and South Whidbey, will play Anacortes in the district championship starting Tuesday night.
The game, played in Anacortes, is set for 6 PM.
A loss and Whidbey is done.
But win and the Pirates break up the undefeated season Anacortes is enjoying and force another game Wednesday.
Against Skagit, Whidbey built a 7-0 lead Monday, then held on for the win.
Along with Smith’s pitching heroics, Coral Caveness scored several crucial runs and Thora Iverson chipped in with a gorgeous snag while patrolling the outfield.
