Steeler Nation was in the house.

Having traveled out from Pennsylvania, home of the only NFL team to truly matter, former softball slugger Stacy Evans was greeted with surprisingly nice weather as she watched niece Veronica Crownover play in person for the first time ever.

Wielding the mitt her aunt used during a 15-year career on the diamond “back in the day,” the Coupeville Middle School 8th grader had her usual stellar game Thursday, using her superior height and reach to continually pull throws out of the dirt at first base.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t quite enough to lift her South Central Sox little league squad to a win.

The Sox, who number four Coupeville girls on a roster largely drawn from South Whidbey, fell 5-4 to Oak Harbor.

Crownover’s Cow Town teammates, one of whom had her own visiting family in the stands, all chipped in with solid games.

Ema Smith, whose uncle had popped in from Montana for the game, swatted a pair of singles, stole a base and made a nice catch on a pop fly to retire the side in the seventh.

Fellow Wolves Tamika Nastali (single, stolen base) and Sarah Wright (three hits, three RBI and a gorgeous snag on a wicked liner at third while playing on an injured knee) also made their presences felt.

Chris Battaglia was locked in.

The Coupeville Middle School eighth grader won two events en route to four top-three finishes Wednesday at a three-team track meet in Sultan.

Battaglia swept to wins in the discus and high jump, placed third in the shot put and claimed second in the long jump — an event he picked up at the last moment because he needed something to do while waiting for his regular events.

“He had great results! Amazing athlete, some PRs … pretty good meet!,” said CMS coach Elizabeth Bitting.

Other multiple winners included Maya Toomey-Stout (100, long jump), Lindsey Roberts (100 Hurdles, 200) and Danny Conlisk (200, 1600).

Mallory Kortuem (400), Gabe Eck (100), Jasmine Nastali (long jump) and Cassidy Moody (100 hurdles) rounded out the Wolf winners, as CMS ran away with 12 titles.

Lakewood and Sultan had much deeper teams than Coupeville and used their superior depth to claim the team titles on a day when the temperature climbed to a sticky 80 degrees.

Wolf sluggers KO Oak Town!!

It was cold, damp and sort of miserable … perfect Wolf hunting weather.

Sparked by their mercenaries from Cow Town, the South Central Sox little league softball squad knocked off dastardly Oak Harbor 8-7 Wednesday.

It was the first win in three tries against the North enders for the South Whidbey/Coupeville sluggers.

With all four of its CMS players on the field — Ema Smith was back manning third base after spending time on injured reserve — the Sox finally put it all together.

“Sometimes being a winner doesn’t always mean scoring the victory, but last night it did!,” said proud softball mom Kelly Crownover. “The team was excited.”

Wolf supernova Sarah Wright earned the win in the pitcher’s circle, throwing a complete game, while also whacking three singles.

Veronica Crownover added a base knock and a series of nice digs, saving errant throws at first base for the Sox, while center fielder Tamika Nastali chipped in with a stolen base.

If Lindsey Roberts is the new Makana Stone, then Danny Conlisk is the new Lindsey Roberts.

Roberts continued her perfect start to her 8th grade track season, ripping off two more wins Wednesday at a four-team meet in Shoreline, but Conlisk went her one better.

While Roberts cruised to wins in both sprints (200) and sprinting while evading obstacles (100 hurdles), Conlisk rolled, snatching victories in the 100, 200 and 1600.

Together, the duo accounted for five of Coupeville Middle School’s eight wins.

Seventh grade hurdlers Cassidy Moody and Jean Lund-Olsen and eighth grade high jumper Chris Battaglia also came away with top of the podium performances.

Langley swept both team titles on the girls side of the competition, while King’s (8th) and Northshore Christian (7th) split the boys titles.

Big runs, big guns!!

Shake it up and see what happens.

Experimenting a bit with its lineup Monday, the South Central Sox little league softball team moved Coupeville’s Sarah Wright from catcher to pitcher for a couple of innings.

Regardless of where you plug her in, Wright sparkled as usual, but not even her hurling or Veronica Crownover’s red-hot bat could save the Sox, who fell 9-5 to visiting South Skagit.

The Sox are primarily a South end-based squad, but feature four Coupeville players (Wright, Crownover, Tamika Nastali and Ema Smith), and the Wolves had a solid impact on the game.

Crownover thumped a two-run triple into deep left and made a series of nice grabs at first to put the final stamp on outs.

Nastali laced a single while Wright, once she had finished her time in the pitcher’s circle, went back to gunnin’ down fools from behind the plate.

The CMS 8th grader yanked out the bazooka late in the game and cracked off a throw to third that nailed a potential stealer.

The would-be thief left the field dazed, confused and possibly scarred emotionally for life while Wright calmly re-holstered like a Western gunfighter, slight smile on her face.

The Sox get right back at it with a game in Oak Harbor Wednesday.
