It’s a joint venture, but most of the stars are from Coupeville.
Or at least that’s the way I’m choosing to see it (this ain’t called South Whidbey Sports…) as the Central/South Whidbey 11/12 little league all-star baseball squad battles at the district tourney in Sedro-Woolley.
The team includes six Coupeville athletes — Caleb Meyer, Hawthorne Wolfe, Scott Hilborn, Drake Borden, Cody Roberts and Sage Sharpe — and has split its opening games.
After taking a 6-3 loss to the tourney hosts Friday, Central/South rebounded to drill Anacortes 12-1 Saturday.
The mixed squad plays North Whidbey in a loser-out game Monday (6 PM), for a chance to gain a rematch with Sedro.
Against Anacortes, everything was working, with Roberts thumping a three-run home run to invoke the ten-run mercy rule.
Wolfe swung a big bat, as well, cracking a three-run double, then returning later to notch an RBI single.
Before smacking his tater, Roberts reached twice on errors, while Hilborn plated Sharp on a fielder’s choice.
In the opening tourney loss, Roberts doubled and scored twice.
