One final honor for the diamond dog.
Coupeville High School senior Peyton Caveness was tabbed to play in an All-State baseball feeder game, joining an exclusive list of Wolves to receive the call over the years.
His last swings in the spotlight came in Anacortes Thursday.
Caveness opened the game at first base for a couple of innings, then moved behind the plate to catch the rest of the way.
At the plate, the Wolf standout was part of an offense which carved up rival pitching in a 15-1 win.

The all-star game capped a stellar four-year run of high school baseball for Caveness.
He was a First-Team All-Conference pick by Northwest 2B/1B League coaches as a senior, pacing the Wolves in most offensive categories.
Coupeville’s primary catcher, Caveness also saw time on the mound as a pitcher and helped anchor the infield when needed.
Big bat, big heart. (Jackie Saia photo)
