While we wait for results to be posted online for Thursday’s middle school track meet at Langley, the final regular season performance for Coupeville, here are some snappy pics to marinate in.

The best thieves are raised in Central Whidbey.

Base thieves, that is.

Spurred on by 14 pilfered bags from their four Coupeville mercenaries, the South Central Sox little league softball squad pulled out a barn-burner Wednesday, edging visiting South Skagit 10-9.

Down big early after a rough six-run second inning, the Sox rallied in the fifth inning to reclaim the lead for good.

The tying and eventual winning runs came via the fleet feet of Wolves Veronica Crownover and Ema Smith, who zipped across home mere footsteps away from each other.

Quick toes were the order of the day, as CMS students Sarah Wright (five steals), Tamika Nastali (4), Crownover (3) and Smith (2) spent most of the game baffling the Skagit catcher.

Wright dominated in the pitcher’s circle, whiffing four, and at the plate, where she whacked her customary three hits.

Nastali chipped in with a pair of singles and kicked off a dandy double play when she ran down a fly ball in center.

Having snagged the ball, she pivoted and gunned down a foolhardy runner headed home.

Swinging a hot bat herself, Crownover thumped a pair of base knocks and knocked in three runs, while Smith laced a single in the second inning.

The sisterhood of the traveling mitt reunite!!

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.

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.
