The hit machine can’t be stopped.
Rapping out 18 base-knocks Saturday, the Central Whidbey Little League Juniors softball team walloped visiting Anacortes 23-13 to remain undefeated.
Sitting at a perfect 2-0 on the still-young season, the Wolves are now off for spring break, not returning to play until April 11.
Central Whidbey headed to vacation in style, crunching Anacortes pitching every time it stepped to the plate.
Trailing 1-0 headed into the bottom of the first, the Wolves put up three runs in their half of the inning, then torched the joint for nine more in the second.
Five runs in the bottom of the third stretched the margin out to 17-2, but Anacortes finally found its own offense and rallied a bit.
A nine-run top of the fourth for the visitors closed the gap to 17-11, but Central Whidbey was having no shenanigans, quickly dropping another six-spot of its own to seal the deal.
The Wolves got hitting up and down the lineup, with eight of 11 hitters recording at least one base-knock.
The big blows came from Jill Prince and The Bash Sisters, Allie and Maya Lucero, who all connected for doubles.
Lead-off hitter Gwen Gustafson paced Central Whidbey, punching four singles, while Maddie Georges and Melanie Navarro each walked four times apiece.
Sofia Peters, Prince, and Allie Lucero collected three hits each, with Maya Lucero notching two, and Adrian Burrows, Karyme Castro, and Vivian Farris each rapping out a single.
Every Wolf scored at least once, with Castro and Hayley Fiedler coming off the bench to make it a perfect 11-for-11.
