One box checked, more to go.
Crushing host Orcas Island 21-6 Thursday, the Coupeville High School softball squad completed an undefeated run through Northwest 2B/1B League play.
The win lifts the Wolves to 10-0 in conference action, 15-1 overall, with two non-league games left on the regular season schedule.
Up first is a short trip to Langley Friday to face South Whidbey, before Granite Falls comes to Coupeville May 6 as Aaron Lucero’s team celebrates Senior Night.
After that, the postseason beckons, with the Wolves dreaming of state tourney glory.
At every step of the way this season Coupeville’s diamond queens have taken care of business, and Thursday was no different.
The Wolves started a little slow offensively but poured it on with a blistering attack in a 12-run third inning to once again put their stamp on things.
Teagan Calkins cranked a triple to kick-start the explosion, with Haylee Armstrong and Jada Heaton delivering two-run base knocks to keep things hopping.
For Heaton, back in the lineup after a game off, it was a dangerous day, as the senior sparkplug got nailed by wayward pitches four times.
She got three walks out of her embrace of pain, as she was hit twice during one at-bat, with the ump waving off the first plunk, but awarding her the bag for the second potential bruise.
Whether they got on base via hits (nine of them), walks (13), or errors (a handful of Orcas mistakes), the Wolves continued to push runners across the plate.
None stamped quite so hard as they scored as Mia Farris, who walloped “a monster home run” to end things.
While offense was the key, Coupeville also delivered once again from the pitcher’s circle, with Adeline Maynes (8) and Armstrong (1) combining to pile up strikeouts.
