Two innings of destruction was all it required.
Using a mix of big hits, precise base-running, and botched plays by their foes, the Coupeville High School varsity baseball team broke open a scoreless tie in the third inning Tuesday, then romped to a 10-0 win over visiting Darrington.
The conference victory lifts the Wolves to 4-1 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 6-3 overall, with a road trip to La Conner looming Thursday afternoon.
CHS controlled every aspect of the game against Darrington, outhitting the Loggers 9-1, stealing nine bases, and forcing the visitors to commit six errors.
Freshman hurlers Camden Glover and Coop Cooper prowled the mound for the Wolves, giving their senior counterparts a rest day while piling up nine strikeouts in five innings of work.
Both pitchers allowed just two Darrington hitters to reach base, with Glover recording six K’s to three from Cooper.
Even with the young duo poppin’, the game was scoreless heading into the bottom of the third.
Coupeville only had two baserunners of its own through its first two series of at-bats, and those came courtesy a Darrington error and a dropped third strike.
That changed in the third, however, with Scott Hilborn and Chase Anderson whacking back-to-back one-out singles to get things going.
Anderson came flying home on an error to make it 2-0, before a sac fly from Glover and yet another Logger miscue helped the Wolves stretch the advantage to 4-0.
The CHS bats really came alive during a six-run rally in the fourth, with Jonathan Valenzuela clobbering a two-run triple and Hilborn mashing a two-bagger.
Anderson and Glover also picked up singles, while a wild pitch and two more Darrington errors allowed Coupeville to make it a 10-run game.
The visitors had one chance to keep the mercy rule from being used, but meekly went down 1-2-3 in the fifth, as Cooper closed things with an exclamation point.

Chase Anderson — Two singles
