Hardball squad learns under fire

Can’t score? Can’t win.

It’s a reality in the baseball world, and one that a very inexperienced Coupeville High School team has come to appreciate.

Coming off back-to-back trips to the state tourney, the Wolves find themselves with a thin roster full of largely new-to-the-game players, which is a big part of why the squad has failed to push a run across in five of six games.

The latest loss came Saturday, with Coupeville falling 13-0 to visiting South Whidbey in a non-conference rumble shortened to five innings by the mercy rule.

Having been outscored 63-3 this season, the Wolves now have some time off, with Spring Break keeping them out of games until a trip to Darrington arrives April 8.

Saturday’s island rivalry clash was decided in the middle part of the game, with South Whidbey tossing five runs on the board in the top of the second, then another eight in the third.

Landon Roberts came on to toss two scoreless innings of relief, and he and starting pitcher Carson Grove combined for seven strikeouts on the afternoon.

The Wolves had runners aboard in every inning but couldn’t come up with a game-altering hit.

After two-out singles by Camden Glover and Jayden Little across the first two frames, CHS started the third strongly.

Phin Rhodes cracked a single, followed by Roberts lacing a base knock, but that was where the rally stopped as a strikeout and a double play denied the Wolves.

All total, Coupeville had seven baserunners (six hits, one walk), while the visitors racked up 14 hits and five walks while taking advantage of three Wolf errors.

Collier Honold paced the Falcons with three hits, while his teammates rapped out four doubles.

Grady Davis recorded a pair of two-baggers, with Levi Batchelor and Malachi Pierson also whacking extra base hits for Tom Fallon’s South Whidbey squad, which got to 2-3 with the victory.

Saturday stats:

Camden Glover — One single
Carson Grove — One single
Jayden Little — One single
Phin Rhodes — Two singles
Landon Roberts — One single
Trent Thule — One walk

Winless Wolves nipped in pitcher’s duel

The offensive struggles continue.

Blanked for the fourth time in five games, a largely inexperienced Coupeville High School baseball team fell 3-0 at Friday Harbor Thursday afternoon.

The Wolves, who are learning on the job, fall to 0-2 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 0-5 overall heading into a home non-conference game Saturday against South Whidbey, which sits at 1-3.

There were definite bright spots for Coupeville Thursday.

The three runs surrendered were the fewest by far this season, the Wolves committed a season-low one error, and starting pitcher Coop Cooper whiffed 10 batters in 4+ innings of work.

But the Wolves also went down 1-2-3 in six of seven innings, striking out 16 times against Friday Harbor sophomore hurler Jackson Feliz.

The only frame in which CHS put a runner on base was the top of the fourth, and it was a prime opportunity which didn’t come to total fruition.

With Feliz buzzing through a perfect game, the Wolves suddenly loaded the bases with no outs.

Landon Roberts ripped a liner to right field, Carson Grove got plunked by a wayward pitch, and Camden Glover dropped a bunt single down the third-base line.

For a team which has been outscored 50-3 this season, the chance to bust through was tantalizingly close.

Then the door slammed shut, with Feliz picking up another K, before inducing a double-play ground ball to end the rally.

Friday Harbor, which only had three hits on the day, had just enough offense of its own to salt away the win and claim a sweep of the two-game series between island rivals.

The Wolverines pushed a run across in the third, thanks to a walk, a single, and a wild pitch, before adding insurance tallies in the fifth and sixth.

Rough inning sinks hardball squad

The learning processd continues.

A rebuilding Coupeville High School baseball squad fell 10-0 Tuesday to visiting Friday Harbor, the third time in four games the Wolves have been blanked.

The loss, coming in the conference opener for both teams, drops CHS to 0-1 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 0-4 overall.

The Wolves will get an almost immediate chance for redemption, however, as they bounce between islands Thursday, landing on Friday Harbor for a rematch with the Wolverines.

Tuesday’s game was close until the top of the fourth inning.

The visitors scraped out two runs in the second inning to claim the lead, but Coupeville had chances to get something going offensively.

The Wolves loaded the bases in the bottom of the first thanks to walks to Landon Roberts, Trent Thule, and Camden Glover, but had two runners snuffed out coming home.

Jesus Madrigal smacked a leadoff single to left in the second for his first varsity base knock, while Leo Rodriguez walked. But again, Friday Harbor escaped relatively unscathed.

Things took a brutal turn for Coupeville in the top of the fourth, as the hometown hardball heroes committed three errors, helping fuel an eight-run explosion for their rivals.

That left CHS trailing 10-0, and with just a pair of walks to its credit after that, the game was mercy ruled after five innings.

Pitchers Landon Roberts and Camden Glover did combine for 12 strikeouts on the afternoon, with Roberts picking up eight of those K’s.

It was the third time this season the Wolf hurlers have notched double-digit whiff totals.

Glover, who started behind the plate for the Wolves before coming on to pitch in relief, also gunned down a would-be base stealer with a superb throw to Thule at second.

Tuesday stats:

Camden Glover — Two walks
Jesus Madrigal — One single
Landon Roberts — One single, one walk
Leo Rodriguez — Two walks
Trent Thule — One walk
