Joey Lippo and his #1 fan, mom Connie.

The stats are there, just not the wins.

Coupeville grad Joey Lippo continues to pile up numbers while playing baseball for the University of Maine at Presque Isle, though the Owls still need to work on improving their win/loss record.

UMPI was swept in a four-game weekend series against Fisher College, dropping doubleheaders Friday and Saturday to run its season mark to 2-13.

Lippo went down fighting, however, racking up six hits, three runs, two walks, and an RBI while starting all four games.

The former Wolf tops the Owls in runs (14), hits (19), RBI (8), walks (8), and batting average (.404) this season, and is tied for #1 in triples (1) and home runs (1).

He’s second in on-base percentage (.474) and slugging percentage (.553).

Lippo, who was a three-sport athlete during his high school playing days, is a sophomore at UMPI.

We’re starting to see some movement.

As we work our way towards the end of March, Northwest 2B/1B League teams are ramping up and beginning to play more conference tilts, accounting for some jockeying in the standings.

If weather permits, the week ahead will keep that trend going.

Coupeville High School baseball has four games in four days — all NWL bouts — hosting Mount Vernon Christian Tuesday and Darrington Wednesday.

After that, the Wolves head to Friday Harbor to face their biggest hardball rival in a Friday afternoon doubleheader.

Meanwhile, the CHS softball squad hosts Darrington, then plays its own twin-bill on Friday Harbor, while Wolf girls tennis travels to Oak Harbor Friday for a non-conference match-up.

Where things sit through Mar. 27:

Northwest League baseball:

School	League	Overall
Coupeville	1-0	2-3
Friday Harbor	1-0	3-1
Orcas Island	1-0	1-1
MV Christian	1-1	2-1
Concrete	0-0	0-0
Darrington	1-2	1-2
La Conner	0-2	0-2

Northwest League girls tennis:

School	League	Overall
Coupeville	1-0	1-0
Friday Harbor	0-1	0-1

Northwest League softball:

Perfection isn’t easy.

The Coupeville High School JV baseball team entered play Saturday undefeated on the young season but stumbled for the first time.

Falling 10-3 at South Whidbey in a non-conference rumble, the Wolf young guns see their record slip to 2-1.

The host Falcons jumped on the scoreboard early and often, scoring in each of the first four innings.

Two runs in the bottom of the first, followed by a single tally in the second, then two more in the third stretched South Whidbey’s advantage to 5-1, before Coupeville pushed across two runs in the top of the fourth to cut things to 5-3.

Unfortunately, South Whidbey put together its best offensive surge of the game in the bottom half of that frame, doubling its output with a five-run rally.

Coupeville relief ace Coop Cooper kept the Falcons at bay after that, tossing two scoreless innings while whiffing a pair of hitters.

But there was no late-game rally for the Wolves, as they couldn’t come up with a hit across the final three innings, and also had a runner picked off of first base after walking.

On the day CHS tallied six hits, with Aiden O’Neill, Zane Oldenstadt, Landon Roberts, Camden Glover, Marcelo Gebhard, and Cooper each collecting a base-knock.

The Wolf JV returns to action Apr. 4, when it travels the other direction on Whidbey, heading to Oak Harbor.

Wolf hardball crew hammers La Conner

Back on track.

After absorbing a couple of close non-conference losses, the Coupeville High School varsity baseball team bounced back with a vengeance Tuesday afternoon.

Raining down runs and getting a strong pitching performance from 8th grader Chase Anderson, the Wolves walloped visiting La Conner 19-9 in a game mercy-ruled after five innings.

The victory, coming in Coupeville’s conference opener, lifts it to 1-0 in Northwest 2B/1B League action, 2-3 overall.

It’s also a nice kick-off to a stretch where the Wolves play seven straight games against league foes.

Coupeville dominated in the early going, ringing up seven runs in the bottom of the first, then tacking on another two in the second and four in the third.

That left CHS up 13-0 when Anderson departed the mound after three innings of work in his high school pitching debut.

After playing in the infield previously this season, the middle school ace was darn near impeccable on the mound Tuesday, retiring nine of the 11 Braves hitters he faced.

Anderson whiffed five while giving up just a single hit and a lone walk.

“Chase pitched awesome, especially for an 8th grader,” said Coupeville coach Will Thayer.

La Conner got to the Wolf bullpen a bit, pushing across six runs in the top of the fourth, and another three in the fifth, but the CHS hitters matched them step-for-step, ending the game early.

On the day, 15 Wolves saw action, with eight of them recording at least one base-knock.

Coupeville leadoff hitter Hawthorne Wolfe crunched a double and single to pace the hit attack, while Scott Hilborn, Cody Roberts, Jack Porter, and Anderson each delivered a pair of singles.

Sage Sharp, Xavier Murdy, and Jonathan Valenzuela also rapped out a hit apiece, as the Wolves piled up 13 base-knocks and 15 walks.

Three of those free bases carried a sting however, as La Conner pitchers plunked a trio of CHS sluggers with wayward pitches.

Thayer was able to keep most of his players busy, with Cole White, Alex Murdy, Aiden O’Neill, Zane Oldenstadt, Camden Glover, Johnny Porter, and Cole Hutchinson also seeing the field.

It was the high varsity debut for 8th graders Glover and O’Neill.
