You can disguise the fact they’re Wolves, but not that they’re winners.

Coupeville High School baseball stars Landon Roberts, Camden Glover, and Chase Anderson have spent the summer wearing Oak Harbor colors for travel ball.

Along the way, the trio and their teammates have played in five tournaments, and capped things this weekend by sweeping four games in Ellensburg to capture a tourney title in the Central Washington Bullpen Series.

The Wildcats (and their Wolf compatriots) won 10-9, 13-3, 8-0, and 11-10 across two days of play to earn the crown.

Roberts, who will be a CHS senior, patrolled right field while also pitching in two games.

Meanwhile, Glover held down third base (and pitched out of the bullpen) while Anderson pulled off his best Edgar Martinez tribute as a hard-hitting DH.

Sluggers enjoy diamond days

Coupeville baseball stars (l to r) Landon Roberts, Camden Glover, and Chase Anderson are suiting up for Oak Harbor this summer.

Somewhere, at this exact moment, a Coupeville kid is busy on a diamond.

Likely.

With the end of school fast approaching, and the weather at least slightly better, baseball and softball games continue to play out across various ball fields.

The pics above and below were poached from Wolf Moms Sherry Bonacci (baseball) and Mandi Black (softball).

One mission done, another begins

It’s been an unusual season, but the second half has been all highlight reel, all the time.

After holding off host La Conner 8-4 Thursday, the Coupeville High School varsity baseball squad ends the regular season having won seven of its last eight games.

The Wolves were missing their top player for much of the season thanks to an injury, then lost their cleanup hitter when he moved away midseason.

And yet, CHS finishes the regular season at 9-2 in Northwest 2B/1B League action, 10-8 overall.

Now, the Wolves are off until Saturday, May 11, when they travel to Lakewood High School for the District 1/2 tourney.

Coupeville is the #1 seed and will play a winner-to-state, loser-out game against the survivor of a game from earlier in the day.

Coupeville, which rose from the bottom of the NWL to the top during the second half of the season, closed regular season play in style.

Building an 8-0 lead as the bottom of the order rapped out base knock after base knock, the Wolves gave pitcher Seth Woollet plenty of room to operate, and he responded.

The senior hurler whiffed five over seven innings of work, and was especially effective in the middle stages, retiring the Braves 1-2-3 in the third, fourth, and fifth innings.

CHS got on the scoreboard early, plating a pair of runs in the top of the first, thanks to three walks, a La Conner wild pitch, and a big RBI single from sophomore slugger Camden Glover.

The Wolves doubled their lead in the fourth, as Coop Cooper whacked a double to left, then scooted home on a wild pitch.

Two batters later, Chase Anderson, whose late-season return from injury has given the lineup an extra spark, launched a sac fly to plate Landon Roberts and it was 4-0.

Run-scoring hits off the bats of Glover and Woollet helped shove the lead all the way out to 8-0 heading into the bottom of the sixth, and while La Conner rallied a bit, time ran out on the Braves.

Coupeville threw out a runner trying to steal, pulled off a key double play in the sixth, then ended the game with Woollet inducing a final fly ball which settled softly into the glove of Aiden O’Neill as he patrolled the outfield.

Now the Wolves have some time to marinate in their late-season success before they attempt to punch their ticket to state for the second straight season under coach Steve Hilborn.

The last time a CHS baseball team went to the big dance in back-to-back seasons was 1990-1991.

 

Thursday stats:

Chase Anderson — One walk
Peyton Caveness — One walk
Coop Cooper — One double, one single
Camden Glover — One double, one single, one walk
Jack Porter — Two walks
Johnny Porter — Two singles
Landon Roberts — One single, one walk
Cole White — Two walks
Seth Woollet — Two singles

Glover unleashes on Falcons

It took less than 48 hours to get some sweet, sweet revenge.

Playing for the second time in three days, the Coupeville High School baseball team toppled visiting South Whidbey 8-4 Wednesday, earning a season split in JV games between the next-door neighbors.

It was a nice bounce back for the Wolves after they fell 6-3 Monday to the Falcons.

CHS doesn’t have a complete nine-man JV roster, so a couple of different younger varsity players saw action in each rumble, and one of them was the big star Wednesday afternoon.

Sophomore slugger Camden Glover, who didn’t play Monday, reached base four times, drove home four runs, and was a holy terror every time he had a bat in his hand or was let loose on the basepaths.

Toss in strong work on the mound by the duo of Landon Roberts and Jack Farrell, who combined for nine strikeouts, and South Whidbey spent much of the day in a hole.

The Falcons actually led, briefly, at 1-0, thanks to a walk and a Wolf error, but then Coupeville surged ahead for good.

The Wolves knotted the score at 1-1 thanks to an RBI single from Glover, then tacked on three runs in the bottom of the third to snatch the lead for good.

Roberts bashed a single to get things going, with Carson Grove walking, before Glover (who else?) smoked a two-run double to left field.

The Falcons hung tough, slicing the lead down to 4-3, but the Wolves had a solid response at every turn.

Glover unleashed his third base knock of the game in the bottom of the fifth, plating two more runs, then came in to score on an error.

Coupeville’s final run featured Easton Green singling, scooting to second on a Falcon error, stealing third, then sprinting home on an RBI groundout off of the bat of Dylan Robinett.

Seven of the 11 Wolves to see action Wednesday reached base, while Aidyn McDermott, Nathan Niewald, Jayden Little, and Farrell put together solid at-bats as well.

 

Wednesday stats:

Camden Glover — One double, two singles
Easton Green — One single, one walk
Carson Grove — One walk
Jack Porter — One single
Johnny Porter — One single
Landon Roberts — One single
Dylan Robinett — One walk

Diamond dudes nail big road win

Hit ’em hard, hit ’em fast, hit ’em more than once.

Jumping out to a big lead early Tuesday, the Coupeville High School varsity baseball squad scorched host Friday Harbor 9-3 to capture an important win.

All victories matter, but earning a season split with one of their chief rivals pushes the Wolves into the lead in the chase for playoff seeding.

Coupeville returns to Whidbey with a 4-2 record in Northwest 2B/1B League play and are currently the top 2B school in the conference, a half game up on Friday Harbor (4-3) and well ahead of La Conner (1-4).

The Wolves, who are 5-8 overall, head to Mount Vernon Christian Friday, where they’ll go for a season sweep of the Hurricanes.

Tuesday’s tilt on Friday Harbor was all Wolves, all day, as they avenged an earlier season loss to the Wolverines.

Two runs in the top of the first, with Peyton Caveness and Cole White walking, before Steven Gonzalez drilled a run-scoring groundout and Jack Porter whacked an RBI double, set the stage.

With Wolf senior Seth Woollet putting up goose eggs on the scoreboard, CHS tacked on three more runs in the second, and another three in the third to stretch the lead out to 8-0.

The big hits in the second inning came courtesy 8th grader Carson Grove, who looped a two-run single to right, and sophomore Chase Anderson, who smoked an RBI single to left.

It was the season debut for Anderson, who has been dealing with an injury, and he promptly delivered in the DH role.

Turn to the third and the base knocks continued to fly to all fields, with Camden Glover and Caveness socking back-to-back RBI doubles to left.

White sent another runner screaming for home on a hot grounder to shortstop, and Coupeville was flying high.

Woollet, who gave up a double to the first batter he faced, then retired nine straight.

He allowed just four baserunners across six innings of work, striking out two and keeping the Wolverines off balance all day.

Friday Harbor finally pushed a runner across in the fifth, though Coupeville matched it with a final tally of its own in the top of the seventh.

Landon Roberts bounced a single through the defense, then came around to score on a two-out double off the bat of Glover.

With Woollet leaving the mound before the seventh, Coop Cooper and Glover tag-teamed the final three outs, with Glover ending the game emphatically with a strikeout.

Coupeville dominated the stat sheet, outhitting Friday Harbor 9-5, and picking up seven walks to go with its base knocks.

Glover and Aiden O’Neill paced the offense with two hits apiece, while Grove, Caveness, Roberts, Porter, and Anderson each had one.

White walked three times, with Caveness and Cooper getting aboard twice thanks to free passes.

In fitting fashion, four of those seven walks came when Wolf hitters got plunked by wayward pitches.
