It was really close to perfection.
Despite the weather being lousy in Sultan Monday, the Coupeville High School JV baseball team was hitting on all cylinders.
Paced by a dominant pitching performance by hurlers Coop Cooper and Landon Roberts, the Wolves strolled to a 12-0 win in a game called after three innings.
The victory lifts Coupeville’s second squad to 3-1 on the season, with a home game against Mount Vernon set for this Wednesday, Apr. 13.
The Wolves came out aggressively Monday, pushing five runs across in the top of the first.
After tacking on two more scores in the second, Coupeville put the game on ice by dropping another five-spot in the final frame.
All 11 Wolves to see action reached base against the Turks, with CHS smacking five hits, walking nine times, and picking up free bases thanks to an error and a dropped third strike.
Hard-hittin’ 8th grader Camden Glover had the hottest bat on the day, bashing a single and double, while Cole Hutchinson, Cooper, and Roberts all collected a base-knock apiece.
Seth Woollett walked twice, with Peyton Caveness, Johnny Porter, Yohannon Sanders, Kai Wong, Roberts, Glover, and Cooper also picking up free passes.
Rounding out the offensive attack, Aiden O’Neill (error) and Gabe Reed (dropped third strike) both alertly took advantage of Sultan miscues to reach base.
The Turks didn’t have quite so much luck in getting base runners aboard, however.
Cooper and Roberts combined to toss a no-hitter, with just one Sultan batter reaching on an error.
The Wolf duo largely gave their defense the day off — except for Caveness, who was catching — recording all nine outs by way of strikeouts.
For Coupeville varsity coach Will Thayer, the win provided a cherry on top of an otherwise miserable day, as weather and a varsity loss combined to dampen spirits early.
“Good pitching and good plate discipline,” he said, then nodded and headed to the bus, hopeful of finally getting warm for the first time in hours.
