Patience pays off.
Drawing an astounding 17 walks in just three innings Friday, the Coupeville High School JV softball squad crushed host Klahowya 15-2.
The win lifts the Wolf young guns to 2-0 on the season.
All nine CHS players reached base at least once, with freshman Emma Mathusek leading the way.
Batting lead-off, she collected two of Coupeville’s three hits, rapping out a pair of singles sandwiched around a walk.
Nicole Lester had the other Wolf hit, crushing a third-inning double.
Scout Smith, Kyla Briscoe and Mackenzie Davis drew three walks apiece, while Melia Welling and Robin Cedillo each nabbed two free passes.
Tamika Nastali and Hope Lodell settled for just a solo base on balls, as the Wolves scored in every inning.
After putting up a six spot in the first, CHS added five in the second and four in the third, before the call of the ferry ended the game early.
While Klahowya’s young hurlers had issues, Wolf pitcher Scout Smith was on point.
The fab frosh scattered two hits.
“Scout pitched very well and the defense played very well behind her,” said Coupeville coach Kevin McGranahan. “Great way to gain experience for both squads.”
