There’s a new Team of Destiny on the rise.

Continuing to crush the ball at an uncanny rate, the Central Whidbey Little League Juniors softball sluggers bashed South Whidbey 12-1 Thursday, capturing their fourth straight win.

The road victory improved the Venom to 5-2 heading into a rematch with the only team to solve them this season.

That’s Anacortes, which nipped Central Whidbey in two tightly-played games in mid-April.

The two teams will meet in Anacortes next Tuesday, May 10, then tangle in Coupeville Thursday, May 12.

The Venom, who combine big bats and an aggressive running style, have had little problem scoring this season.

They’ve cracked double digits in every game but one (an 11-9 loss to Anacortes) and have outscored their foes 106-45.

Against South Whidbey, lead-off hitter/speed demon Maya Toomey-Stout ran wild on the base-paths, while Mollie Bailey and Emma Mathusek swung hot sticks.

With the offense flowing so well, Central Whidbey didn’t need top-notch pitching and defense, but it got it anyway.

Venom hurler Scout Smith surrendered just a single hit, while twice robbing South Whidbey, snuffing balls hits back up the middle.

Bailey ran down two airborne foul balls behind the plate while playing catcher, and Chelsea Prescott snagged a pair of line drives at short.
