Fly high, Hawk.
Coupeville grad Hawthorne Wolfe had a strong debut for the Western Washington University club baseball team this weekend, picking up a win and save as the Vikings took two of three from Oregon State in the season opener.
WWU split games on Saturday, winning 6-5 and losing 4-1, then bounced back to claim Sunday’s bout 6-5 in 11 innings of taut diamond action.
Wolfe picked up the save in game one, facing four batters and retiring three of them.
The former Coupeville sensation came back around Sunday to nab the win on the mound, chucking the final three innings as the Vikings pulled out the victory.

Western returns to action next weekend when it hosts Eastern Washington University Feb. 25-26 at Squalicum High School.
The teams play at 1 PM and 3 PM Saturday, then clash at 11 AM Sunday.
The Vikings have a long, successful diamond history, including a run at the National Club Baseball Association Division 1 World Series in 2013 when Coupeville grad Jordan Wilcox played for the team.
During his time at CHS, Wolfe was named Northwest 2B/1B League MVP during his senior baseball season, while also terrorizing his foes on the basketball court.
