Very short memories and very big bats.
It helps to have both, something the Central Whidbey Little League Juniors softball team embraced Saturday afternoon.
Bouncing back from their first loss of the season, the Wolves got immediate payback against the same foe, drilling visiting South Skagit Saturday to the tune of 18-2.
Crunching 14 hits, including four doubles and two triples, Central Whidbey improved its season mark to 12-1.
After being held to just a single hit Thursday, the Wolves immediately re-found their groove.
No one was more scorching Saturday than Melanie Navarro, who delivered a pair of triples, a double and a game-high six RBI.
She got plenty of support, though, with Maddie Georges, who missed the loss with an injury, ripping four base-knocks, including two doubles.
Toss in three singles from Savina Wells, a single and double from Gwen Gustafson, and two singles from Maya Lucero, and the bats were poppin’ all game.
Central Whidbey, which scored two runs in both the first and second, then blew the hinges off the door with a 14-run third inning, also collected 10 walks.
Adrian Burrows, Gwen Gustafson, and Jill Prince collected two free passes apiece, while Allie Lucero, Sofia Peters, Hayley Fiedler, and Maya Lucero walked once each.
Gustafson was also lights-out in the pitcher’s circle, limiting South Skagit to just three weak hits.
