These girls with bats in their hands? Unstoppable.
The Central Whidbey Little League Juniors softball team continued its wild joy ride through the spring Thursday, carving up visiting South Whidbey 25-0.
Dropping 18 runs in just the first inning alone, the Wolves rolled to their seventh-straight win, and have done it while outscoring foes 137-35.
If you don’t have your calculator close, I can make it easy for you — CWLL is averaging 19.6 runs a night, while giving up an average of five.
Thursday night the Wolves didn’t even give up a hit, as pitchers Savina Wells, Vivian Farris, and Maya Lucero combined to walk two, whiff seven, and erase South Whidbey 1-2-3 in both the first and third innings.
With the mercy rule in effect, and Central Whidbey having tacked on seven more runs in the bottom of the second, that’s where the game prematurely ended.
The Wolves were in total control, with their first 13 batters, and 18 of their first 19, successfully reaching base.
CWLL sent 32 hitters to the plate across the two innings it hit, and 11 of its 13 players scored.
Gwen Gustafson, Farris, Maddie Georges, Wells, and Maya Lucero all tapped home three times apiece, while Allie Lucero, Jill Prince, Melanie Navarro and Sofia Peters scored twice each.
Rounding out the offense, Hayley Fiedler and Adrian Burrows came around once each, Cypress Socha came off the bench to bash a double, and Karyme Castro also saw field time.
The Wolves return to action Saturday, with a just-scheduled 1 PM home doubleheader against Anacortes.
