Time to punch your ticket!!

Welcome to baseball’s version of Thunderdome.

Four teams enter and two emerge happy. For the other two, time to scrub the infield dirt out of your pants, hang up your hat and head home.

Coupeville’s hardball squad, which closed the regular season with 11 wins in its final 12 games, sits two victories from advancing to the state tourney for the first time since 2014.

The Wolves kick off the West Central District 3 baseball tourney Tuesday against Charles Wright Academy in a 4 PM game set for Foss High School in Tacoma.

Win or lose, CHS is back in the area May 10 for a second game. Depending on the outcome there, the wheels on the bus might go round and round one final time May 12.

It’s simple — win two games before you lose two and you’re state-bound.
