Joey Lippo
The hired guns are having a noticable impact.
Powered by five Coupeville Middle School players who travel up to the big city for games, the Oak Harbor Babe Ruth baseball squad continues to scorch opponents this spring.
The latest foe to face the fury of the Wolf-assisted Wildcats was Anacortes, which got itself blitzed 18-1.
Coupeville hurlers Joey Lippo and Jake Pease combined with Oak Harbor’s Thomas Anderson to scatter just three hits, while the ‘Cat offense went bonkers, hitting around in three of the five innings played.
Oak Harbor has three games left to play before opening the district playoffs against Burlington.
They beat that squad 7-6 in their only meeting of the season, though coaches on both sides played it fairly close to the vest, since they already knew about the looming postseason match-up.
Lippo and Pease are joined on the ‘Cat team by fellow CMS athletes Gabe Eck, Hunter Smith and Ty Eck.
