Hawk is still flying high.
Coupeville grad Hawthorne Wolfe tossed two scoreless innings Saturday as his Western Washington University baseball squad rolled to the first win in a three-victory weekend.
The Vikings swept Central Oregon Community College, winning 10-0, 11-2, and 5-4.
That lifts WWU to 16-9 on the season heading into the regular season finale this coming weekend against Portland State University.
On the season Wolfe, the former Northwest 2B/1B League baseball MVP, has pitched in nine games, making four starts.
He is 1-0 with a save and has racked up 21 strikeouts in 20 innings of work.
At the plate Wolfe, in a limited number of at-bats, has chipped in with four hits, three runs, and two RBI.
During his Coupeville days Joan McPherson’s grandson was a standout basketball and baseball star who played a major role for league title-winning teams in both sports.
Even with essentially losing a full season of games due to Covid, Wolfe singed the nets for 800 points, making him the #14 scorer all-time in the 106-season history of CHS boys’ basketball.
