He made his final moments count.
While Coupeville’s Landon Roberts is playing American Legion ball this summer, and hopes to continue his hardball adventures in college, Wednesday night put an official cap on his time as a high school baseball star.
The Wolf senior repped the red and black in the Northwest Senior Feeder Games in Anacortes, playing well on both sides of the ball.
The event, which featured a doubleheader at Alton R. Daniels Field, is one of the precursors to the All-State games in Yakima.
Roberts earned four innings of field time in each feeder game, patrolling right field in the opener and center field in the finale.
At the plate, the Wolf ace rapped a double off an Anacortes hurler.
In the field, he had plenty of time to enjoy the scenery, finally getting a ball sent his way at the very end.
Fielding it smoothly, Roberts pulled in the fly ball for the night’s final out, officially putting a stamp on his CHS diamond career.
The feeder games drew seniors from a wide range of schools in the region, with La Conner’s CJ Edwards being the only other player from the Northwest 2B/1B League.
South Whidbey (Sage Northup and Grady Davis) and Oak Harbor (Jayson Champignon and Brayden Rupp) also sent two players each to the hardball festivities.
