So, the season might not be over just yet.
The Coupeville Babe Ruth baseball squad, which finished 2nd at the state tournament, has been offered a chance to advance to regionals after Columbia Basin bowed out.
The state champs, who edged the Wolves 2-1 in a best-of-three series, won’t have enough players available to make the trip to Portland, Oregon for the July 23-28 event.
The winner at regionals advances to the World Series in Longview, WA Aug. 10-27.
With Columbia Basin down, Coupeville, which posted a 17-2 record this season, is next team up, provided it can finance the trip.
Parents and coaches are scrambling, with just a couple of days to raise funds to cover travel expenses, and launched a GoFundMe Tuesday night after the news broke.
