Sluggers rack up big numbers

Mia Farris has a big bat, and she knows how to use it.

The sophomore sensation spent much of the spring racking up stats on the softball field, helping pace Coupeville to a strong 14-6 campaign.

Hitting out of the #2 hole, Farris led or was tied for the lead in eight of 12 offensive categories and was just three RBI’s away from sharing the top slot for a ninth time.

She and her teammates achieved much of their success thanks to their offensive firepower, and with a huge chunk of the roster being comprised of underclassmen, the future is bright.

As he scanned his season-ending stat sheet, CHS coach Kevin McGranahan took particular delight in his team’s OPS numbers.

That stat combines on-base percentage with slugging percentage, and an average around .800 is considered strong.

For Coupeville, 14 of 16 players topped that mark.

“We had a very good offensive season,” McGranahan said.
