Quiet bats hurt Wolf diamond men

First batter, great.

After that, not so great.

Coupeville High School senior catcher Peyton Caveness led off his team’s road game at South Whidbey Friday with a double to center field.

But then the Wolves lost their groove offensively, and couldn’t find it defensively either, falling 11-1 to the Falcons in a game mercy-ruled after five innings.

The non-conference loss drops CHS to 0-2 on the still-young season, with another tilt in less than 24 hours.

Coupeville returns home Saturday to face North Mason (1-2) in a game set to begin at 1:00 P.M.

Friday’s Island rumble with their next-door neighbors was a fairly rough one for the scrappy Wolves, who were outhit 11-2. Overall CHS only put four runners aboard.

The mitts weren’t cooperating either for Coupeville, which committed six errors, allowing the Falcons to keep rallies alive.

One positive was the Wolves only walked three South Whidbey hitters, after surrendering 20+ free passes in their season opener.

Lanky lefty Landon Roberts got the start on the mound for Coupeville, and almost got out of the first relatively unscathed.

Unfortunately, a dropped third strike on what would have been the third out kept the frame alive, and the hometown mashers promptly responded with back-to-back RBI singles to make it 3-0.

South Whidbey tacked on a run in the second, helped by two Wolf errors, then pushed the lead out to 6-0 through three innings.

CHS, which had nine straight hitters go down after Caveness’s two-bagger, finally cracked the seal in the top of the fourth with Yohannon Sandles reaching on an error.

But then it was right back to it, as the Falcons erased the next three hitters to make it 12 of 13.

Roberts kept South Whidbey at bay in the bottom of the fourth, stranding a runner at second, and Coupeville notched its lone run of the day in the fifth.

Cole White eked out his squad’s only walk, then came around to tap home plate on a pinch-hit RBI single from Wolf sophomore Steven Gonzalez.

That would be it for the Coupeville offense, however, and South Whidbey ended the game early with a five-run surge in the bottom half of the inning.

Roberts struck out four across four frames, with Camden Glover coming on in relief for the Wolves.

Warm weather, hot bat

The sun is in their rearview mirrors.

After opening the season with seven games in Florida, University of Maine at Presque Isle baseball players return to the likely chillier weather of home.

The Owls, led by Coupeville grad Joey Lippo, who is lashing the ball in his senior campaign, wrapped their road trip Friday with a 22-10 loss to Salem State University.

UMPI, which sits at 1-6, is off until Mar. 21, when it opens a four-game series with Fisher College in Boston.

While the Owls didn’t get as many wins as they might have liked in Florida, Lippo was a bright spot.

The former Wolf is hitting .355, with 11 hits, eight runs, three walks, and 10 RBI.

Anchoring the team from the leadoff spot, he’s pacing UMPI in both at-bats (31) and runs knocked in, while also playing nearly spotless defense while patrolling the outfield.

Lippo is wrapping up a four-year run with the Owls in which he has played both collegiate golf and baseball.

Skyy’s twin brother was a standout tennis, basketball, and baseball player during his days in Cow Town.

The roster is thin, but the program is still alive.

That’s the big positive to take away from the opening match for the Coupeville High School girls’ tennis team.

The Wolves only had five players ready to go Wednesday, but those netters put up a good scrap with an always-strong South Whidbey squad before falling 5-0.

As it waits for its new courts to be finished, Coupeville is spending this spring on the road, and will get back at it Friday with a trip to Friday Harbor.

1st Singles — Skylar Parker lost to Baylie Kuschnereit 6-2, 6-2

2nd Singles — Kaitlyn Leavell lost to Catie Beech 6-1

“It’s an exciting start!”

“Our team did great today!”

From unexpectedly nice weather to athletes performing in mid-season form, Wednesday was pleasant for Coupeville High School track and field coaches.

Competing in a season-opening 10-school meet at La Conner, the Wolves swept both girls and boys team titles.

Fueled by seven wins and an astonishing 87 PR’s, Coupeville was dominant all day.

“Thanks to our unique blend of young and seasoned athletes, we achieved early personal records, fantastic weather, and even clinched a team victory!” said CHS coach Bob Martin.

“It’s an exciting start that promises more successes ahead!”

Junior Lyla Stuurmans paced the Wolves with a pair of victories, sweeping to first in both the 1600 and 3200.

Meanwhile, Marquette Cunningham and Nick Guay came up huge, both winning an individual event while also running a leg on a pair of triumphant relay teams.

The former won the triple jump, while the latter claimed the high jump crown, joining discus chucker Zac Tackett in the winner’s circle.

Preston Epp also ran a leg on both winning relay units, with Hank Milnes (4 x 400) and Cael Wilson (4 x 100) chipping in as well.

The Wolf boys cruised to the team win, finishing with 155.5 points, with Mount Vernon Christian (128), La Conner (79), and Friday Harbor (76.5) rounding out the top four.

On the girls’ side, it was all-out war, with Coupeville (113) nudging past La Conner (110) and MVC (110) at the very last second to claim the title. Lopez Island was fourth with 73 points.

The Wolves get right back at it Saturday, when they compete at the Rainier Icebreaker.

The Wolves fill up the gym.
