A Hammerhead hitter does a fast tap dance to evade a wayward pitch.
Brionna Blouin (7), Savina Wells (in catcher gear), Taylor Brotemarkle, and coach Fred Farris bask in another win.
Allison Nastali, even with both arms taped up after a bicycle accident, drops the bunt perfectly. She beat the throw to first, while bringing a runner in from third.
Hammerhead hurler Chloe Marzocca wheels and deals.
“Ooh yeah, you’re too late, sister! I AM SAFE!!!!!!”
Post game shenanigans.
After making a great running catch in center to end the game, Katie Marti gets a congratulatory hug from coach Kim Brotemarkle.
Everything is in their favor.
The District 11 Little League Majors softball tournament is three days into a possible five-day schedule, and everything is lined up for host Central Whidbey to win.
The Hammerheads plastered Sedro-Woolley 12-5 Saturday to advance to the championship round, then got a welcome surprise Sunday.
Skagit, which was routed by Sedro in the tourney opener Friday, rebounded to grab an unexpected 17-14 win in a rematch between the two off-Island teams.
So, that means Central Whidbey (1-0 in the tourney) meets Skagit (1-1) Monday at 6 PM, while Sedro (1-2) is done.
If the Hammerheads (16-2 on the season) win Monday, they are bound for the state tourney, which is June 29-July 7 in Poulsbo.
Lose Monday, and Central Whidbey gets a second swing at the title Tuesday night, also against Skagit, also at 6 PM.
