There was little margin for error.

Playing against a high-functioning Olympic High School squad Saturday, the Coupeville JV baseball team was nipped 3-0.

While the non-conference road loss drops the Wolves to 3-4 on the season, Coupeville’s coaching staff was largely pleased with what they saw from their young roster.

“The JV played extremely well against a really clean team,” said CHS hardball guru Jon Roberts.

While Coupeville only notched a single hit on the day — a bloop single off the bat of the sweet-swinging Coop Cooper — the Wolves acquitted themselves strongly at the plate.

“The bats were alive against a decent pitcher,” Roberts said.

Wolf pitchers Camden Glover and Cooper combined to largely stifle Olympic’s hitters, but the Trojans did manage to eke out a single run in each of the third, fourth, and fifth innings to build their lead.

Coupeville’s JV has three games left on its schedule, with road games at South Whidbey and Mount Vernon Apr. 28 and 30.

If weather holds and the scheduling gods look kindly on the young Wolves, they’ll close the campaign with a May 2 home tilt against South Whidbey.
