Let ‘er rip.

Coupeville High School softball sluggers will be swinging for the fences Mar. 11, in a bid to help better fund their program.

But before they take part in the team’s “1st Semi-Annual Hit-A-Thon” they’re out and about now, snagging donations.

You can sponsor a player or players and take your chances on their power with the bat or make a flat donation starting at $20.

During the Hit-A-Thon, each Wolf player will take 15 cuts at the plate, with their top two blasts (in fair territory) being added together for fundraising purchases.

So, if your favorite player were to park a ball 150 feet and another 200 feet, and you had pledged 10 cents per foot, you’d be coughing up $35 to keep CHS softball prospering.

You can also get in on the action yourself.

Pony up $5 and you can step into the batter’s box and get 10 swings of your own after the players have wrapped up their version of the home run derby.
