The art of the bunt. (John Fisken photos)
“Oh, I’m safe. No need to ask the ump, cause I beat that throw by a mile, baby!!”
Coach Lark Gustafson charges down the line during pre-game introductions.
“Only a fool thinks they’ll make it to first before this ball. My arm is like a rocket launcher, Lil’ Missy!!”
“I said, throw your FASTBALL! This ain’t T-Ball we’re playin’ here!!”
“You can try to hide, but my mitt will find you. Always!!”
“I hope that ball has a tracking device. Cause otherwise they ain’t never gonna find it after I crank it over the fence.”
“Yeah, someone’s mom isn’t going to be happy come laundry time… Oh well, that’s what you get for having a superstar for a daughter.”
Playoff fever is in the air and the cameras are clicking.
Central and North Whidbey’s 9/10 little league all-star softball squads battled Tuesday in the opener to the District 11 playoffs (North rallied to win 11-10) and John Fisken was on hand in Mount Vernon to document the action.
As he clicked away, Central Whidbey hurler Chanel Sterba whiffed 12 batters.
Kaia Swegler smacked a pair of singles and Mckaela Meffert eked out four walks (one by being plunked), coming around to score each time.
Isabelle Wells, Chloe LaRue and Sterba also singled, while Abby Mulholland and Gwen Gustafson were among a long string of Central Whidbey hitters to draw walks.
North Whidbey plays Sedro-Woolley Wednesday, with the winner advancing to the championship series.
Central Whidbey gets the loser of that game Thursday. Win there and they advance to the finals as well.
