Monica Vidoni is one of four former Wolves playing college ball this spring.

Across two states and two sports, former Wolves continue to shine.

Coupeville High School has four alumni currently playing college baseball or softball, and they’re all deep into their respective seasons.

Up to the moment stats for the fab four:

Ben Etzell — A junior at Saint John’s University in Minnesota, where he’s become the closer for a Johnnies squad which sits at 16-7.

Hammer’s a slammer!!

  Dads dig the long ball, which is why Hailey Hammer loves to mash home runs.

Get out the rye bread and mustard, Grandma, it’s grand salami time!

The words of longtime Mariners announcer Dave Niehaus echoed across the Northwest once again Thursday, as former Wolf Hailey Hammer pounded a grand slam in her college softball game.

Hammer, a sophomore at Everett Community College, connected in game two of a doubleheader sweep of Skagit Valley, as the Trojans opened Northwest Athletic Conference play.

Everett shredded the Cardinals 7-3 and 10-0.

Hammer’s homer was a game-winner, though no one knew it at the moment.

The game was knotted in a scoreless tie and the bags were juiced when she locked on to a pitch and smashed all the hopes and dreams of the SVC pitcher.

With the sweep, Everett improved to 4-7 overall, 2-0 in league play.

The spring is alive with the sounds of former Wolves returning to the diamond.

At least four Coupeville High School grads are on college baseball and softball squads this season, with three of them having already seen action.

An early-season update (in alphabetic order):

Ben Etzell — The former Cascade Conference MVP is back on the mound for Saint John’s (Minnesota) after recovering from surgery.

Now a junior, he’s appeared in four games for the Johnnies (5-2), throwing 6.2 innings and collecting a save against Pitt-Bradford.

Etzell has an ERA of 1.35, has whiffed eight batters and is limiting opposing hitters to a .071 batting average.

Through two-plus seasons at Saint John’s, he’s 5-1 with three saves.

Hailey Hammer — After thumping a preseason home run, the Everett Community College sophomore is hitting .385 through five regular season games.

She has six runs, five hits, three walks, a stolen base and an RBI for a team sitting at 3-4.

Aaron Trumbull — The former Wolf first baseman has appeared in one game for Olympic Community College (1-2), eking out a walk and scoring a run in a 7-0 win over Gray’s Harbor.

Monica Vidoni — Wrapping up a two-year run in which she’s played softball, basketball and softball at Rainy River Community College in Minnesota, she’s off to Florida to kick-off her final season.

RRCC takes the field Tuesday in Titusville and will play six games in three days in the Sunshine State.

The regular season hasn’t even started and already Hailey Hammer’s bat is warmed up.

The Coupeville High School grad teed off all day Friday, bashing four extra-base hits, including an epic home run, in a preseason double header with Grays Harbor.

Before going yard, she smacked three doubles.

“Today was a good day!,” said a jubilant Hammer.

A 12-time letter winner (volleyball, basketball, softball) during her storied Wolf career, she’s a sophomore at Everett Community College.

During her first season as a Trojan, Hammer was limited by injuries, playing in 12 games, but still hit a crisp .300 at the plate.

EVCC, which ten-runned Grays Harbor in both games, opens the regular season Feb. 25.
