Once they started bashing, they didn’t stop.
Jumping on host Lynden Christian for six runs in the top of the first inning Wednesday, the Coupeville High School JV baseball team romped to a 13-5 win in a five-inning game.
The non-conference victory lifts the Wolf young guns to a pristine 2-0 on the season.
Coming on the heels of a pitcher’s duel in the day’s varsity game, the JV hardball sluggers decided to go in the opposite direction.
Cue the runs raining down on the scoreboard, with Coupeville building a 13-0 lead, then holding on for the win.
Aiden O’Neill kicked things off in the top of the first, drawing a walk from the Lynden hurler, and that set things in motion.
Camden Glover and Yohannon Sanders smacked base hits in the first inning explosion, with Landon Roberts and Johnny Porter eking out free passes.
From there, the Wolves cruised, tacking on a run in the third, before dropping three-run rallies in both the fourth and fifth.
Lynden Christian spent much of the afternoon swinging and missing, with Wolf hurlers O’Neill, Roberts, and Cole White combining to whiff 12 Lyncs.
While the win makes the bus ride home a happier one, getting the chance to put 14 players on the field against a quality opponent is maybe even bigger when it comes to building for the future.
In addition to the guys already mentioned, CHS sent Gabe Reed, Alex Smith, Seth Woollet, Cole Hutchinson, Zane Oldenstadt, Coop Cooper, Marcelo Gebhard, and Kai Wong into action.
