Road trip!

The Central Whidbey Little League Majors softball team is off to Poulsbo, where they kick off the state tourney Saturday afternoon.

But, before the District 11 champs head to the 10-team, double-elimination battle royal, car windows had to be prepared.

And so it came to be.

Foot firmly on the bag, Mia Farris beats the runner by a mile.

Madison McMillan has been a big-time cruncher at the plate for a high-scoring Central Whidbey Little League Majors softball squad.

Hammerhead catcher Brionna Blouin slaps the tag on a runner who maybe wishes she had stayed at third.

Jada Heaton looks down for the sign.

Slick-fielding Allison Nastali scoops up everything in the vicinity.

Hammerhead shortstop Taylor “The Beast” Brotemarkle unleashes the full fury of her nuclear-powered throwing arm.

Teagan Calkins dares the pitcher to try and throw the ball past her. “I will murder the freakin’ ball, lady, murder it!!”

We’re under 70 hours until the big dance kicks off.

The Central Whidbey Little League Majors softball squad, carrying a 17-2 record and a District 11 championship, opens play Saturday at the state championships.

The Hammerheads take the field at Snider Field in Poulsbo at 1 PM, facing North Kitsap, District 2 champs and tourney hosts.

Win or lose, Central Whidbey plays again Sunday as its winds its way through the double-elimination bracket.

With a victory over North Kitsap, the Hammerheads would face District 3 champs Montesano at noon.

Fall on day one, and Central Whidbey finds itself in a must-win scenario Sunday at 3:00 against either District 10’s Bonney Lake/Sumner or District 8’s Northeast Seattle.

The tournament stretches all the way out to July 7, with the state champ earning an invite to regionals in California.

Help Hammerheads score at state

Central Whidbey softball sluggers (l to r) Madison McMillan, Allison Nastali, Chloe Marzocca, and Savina Wells celebrate another win.

Marzocca is a strikeout machine in the pitcher’s circle.

District championship in hand, it’s off to state. But first, confetti.

They are a hard-hittin’, slick-fieldin’, high-hard-cheddar-tossin’, league-title-winnin’ band of sluggers.

Thumping foes left and right, the Central Whidbey Little League Majors softball team has rolled to a 17-2 record, a District 11 title, and a berth at the state tourney.

Ranging in ages from 10-12, the 12 young women who make up the squad are both the present and the future of youth athletics in Coupeville.

And now we can help them achieve a piece of their dream.

The state tourney is held in Poulsbo from June 29 to July 7, and team moms have launched a GoFundMe to help raise money for food, travel, and lodgings.

All donations will be split evenly between the 12 families, with any extra going back to support Central Whidbey Little League.

If you’re wondering who you would be supporting, here’s an alphabetic look at the Hammerheads roster:

Brionna Blouin
Taylor Brotemarkle
Teagan Calkins
Mia Farris
Jada Heaton
Aleksia Jump
Katie Marti
Chloe Marzocca
Madison McMillan
Allison Nastali
Mayleen Weatherford
Savina Wells

Remember those names, because you’ll be seeing them many, many more times over the years.

So, whether you’ve got some loose change rattling around your couch cushions or some Bill Gates-style money just beggin’ to be used, consider helping a band of strong, smart, goal-orientated young women who are strong athletes, and better people.

It would be money well spent.

As CWLL Majors softball nears a district title, coaches Kim Brotemarkle and Fred Farris ponder strategy. “She’s going left, she always goes left.” (Photos by JohnsPhotos.net)

Title clinched and mom is out of the dugout and in pursuit of daughter Taylor.

“Come here, you!!”

“And you’re mine!”

When the chase is on, always bet on mom.

Always.

The pics above showcase Central Whidbey Little League softball coach Kim Brotemarkle celebrating with daughter Taylor after the Hammerheads won the District 11 title.

But first she had to catch the little rascal.
