One more day to build the anticipation.
Thursday’s baseball battle royal between Coupeville and Friday Harbor — a one-game showdown in La Conner to decide which of the schools advance to the state tournament — has been bumped a day.
Mother Nature, as she has been all spring, is a pain in the tushie.
The game, now set for 3 PM Friday, still on that neutral field in La Conner, pits a 13-6 Wolf squad against a 14-2 Wolverine team.
Coupeville is the Northwest 2B/1B League champ, having finished 11-1 to Friday Harbor’s 10-1, but playoff seeding is determined only by the games between 2B schools.
Both teams swept two games from La Conner, while splitting their own season series.
Friday Harbor won 3-2 on its home field, while Coupeville returned the favor 11-8 on Whidbey.
The winner of the play-in game advances to the 16-team 2B state tourney, which kicks off May 21.
