The power of the sign compels you.

Wolf sluggers (l to r) Mackenzie Davis, Sarah Wright, and Veronica Crownover live the dugout life.

Someone call the authorities … Joe Lippo has control of the scoreboard.

Izzy Wells deals wicked heat.

What operated quicker Tuesday, the scoreboard or the camera?

With Coupeville High School softball pushing 13 runs across the plate in a win over South Whidbey, the board was poppin’.

But so was paparazzi to the stars John Fisken, who kept his cameras humming on a cold, windy prairie day.

They had their chances.

Looking to snap out of a recent offensive funk, the Coupeville High School baseball squad put runners on base Saturday.

Unfortunately, that’s where they left most of them, victim to double plays and stranded runner syndrome.

Unable to muster an offense to match pitcher CJ Smith’s performance on the mound, the Wolves fell 3-1 in a non-conference game at Friday Harbor.

After scoring 27 runs in its first three games, Coupeville has now been stuck on a single run for three straight contests.

Not surprisingly, the Wolves have lost all three of the low-scoring affairs, falling to 2-4 on the season.

They’ll get three chances to fix things next week, when they travel to Lynden Christian Tuesday, host Port Townsend Thursday and skip down the Island to visit South Whidbey Saturday, Apr. 2.

The middle match-up will be the 1A Olympic League opener for both the Wolves and RedHawks (0-4).

Facing off with the host Wolverines (3-0), Coupeville got stellar work from Smith.

The senior hurler whiffed nine batters while tossing a complete game.

“CJ pitched a great game,” said CHS coach Marc Aparicio. “Unfortunately we just couldn’t make the runs work this game.

“We were caught in three double plays and left runners on in scoring position three times. One time with bases loaded,” he added. “Friday Harbor played a good game. Not much more to say.”
