Mother Nature has the final word.

And that word Tuesday is rain, as loads of liquid sunshine in Darrington is washing away scheduled baseball and softball games with Coupeville.

The contests, which pit Northwest 2B/1B League rivals against each other, will be rescheduled.

For now, everyone back to working on their ark building.

The good news is they rallied. The bad news is it was too little, too late.

Returning from Spring Break Monday, the Coupeville High School varsity baseball squad started off cold, then warmed up a bit in the latter stages of a 9-4 loss to visiting Sultan.

The non-conference defeat drops the Wolves to 3-7 on the season and kick-starts what could be a very busy week.

CHS is slated to travel to Darrington Tuesday, host La Conner Thursday, then trek to Forks Saturday, with the first two of those rumbles against Northwest 2B/1B League rivals.

With 10 regular season games down and nine left to play, the Wolves hope the second half of the campaign plays out like the second half of Monday’s game.

Held hitless until Cole White plunked a leadoff single in the bottom of the fourth, Coupeville was in a 7-0 hole at that point.

Four errors on defense stung, and an inability to get anything going on offense didn’t help on a cold, windy, slightly rain-splattered day.

White’s base knock finally lit a fire under the Wolves, as they scratched out two runs in the fourth, one more in the fifth, and a final tally in the seventh.

But while Coupeville sliced the lead down to 7-3, it never got closer than that.

Sultan tacked on a pair of runs in the top of the sixth to stretch the margin back out to six runs, before CHS briefly mounted a rally in its final at-bats.

Peyton Caveness thumped his second double of the day, followed by an RBI triple from Johnny Porter, but the Turks escaped thanks to a double play and strikeout.

Sultan finished the day with an 8-5 lead in hits, though the Wolves eked out a 6-4 advantage in walks.

Steven Gonzalez, Aidyn McDermott, and Landon Roberts each earned a pair of free passes, while Coop Cooper collected a single to round out the hit parade.

Coupeville used four pitchers on the day, with Seth Woollet whiffing five in 4.2 innings of work to carry the biggest portion of the load.

He was joined on the hill by Jack Porter, Camden Glover, and Cooper, who combined for another five strikeouts.

It was Cooper’s season debut on the mound, and the Wolf sophomore pitched a perfect seventh inning, setting two batters down on K’s before inducing a groundout back to his glove.

Time to get back at it.

Coupeville High School sports teams had the week off for spring break, but with the return to classes next week, the Wolves will also return to competition.

With a fury.

Both CHS softball and baseball have four games this coming week, with home clashes against Sultan (Monday) and La Conner (Thursday) and road trips to Darrington (Tuesday) and Forks (Saturday).

Meanwhile Wolf girls’ tennis is slated to travel to South Whidbey Wednesday, while track and field heads to Forks Saturday for a meet.

Coupeville’s wrecking crew is ready to rumble once more.

As everyone gears back up for competition, you might be curious where teams are sitting, win/loss wise.

If so, here you go — through games of April 7:

Every at-bat, every pitch recorded for posterity.

Coupeville High School baseball coaches use Game Changer to record stats, which makes it easy for me to poach their numbers.

So, as the Wolves rest up during spring break, here’s a look at where stats sit through nine games.

The upcoming schedule is kind of light.

As in, there are no Coupeville High School games next week.

With spring break arriving, all four Wolf spring sports programs go into slow-down mode for a couple days, with practices but no contests against rival schools.

Which means it’ll probably be sunshine and warm temps all week, with the rain, wind, and cold returning when Coupeville athletes do starting April 8.

That’s just the way of the prairie.
