Their bats were smokin’.
Pounding out 10 hits Thursday, including a home run from freshman pitcher Chelsea Prescott, the Coupeville High School JV softball squad drilled Concrete’s varsity 20-6.
The road win, which came in five innings thanks to the mercy rule, lifts the Wolf young guns to a pristine 3-0 on the season.
After winning its first two on its home field, Coupeville proved a bus ride would be no deterrent.
The Wolves jumped on Concrete for six runs in the first, eventually stretched the lead out to 11-0, then cruised in for the win.
The biggest blow, Prescott’s tater, came in the first inning, capping a run of four straight Wolves to reach base.
Coral Caveness kicked off the day by reaching on an error, Thora Iverson walked and Mollie Bailey singled before Prescott laid down the law with one booming swing of her super-charged bat.
If Concrete thought the destruction was done at that point, the Lions were sadly mistaken.
While there were no more round-trippers after Prescott’s moon launch, the Wolves picked up four doubles.
The first came from Nicole Laxton in the fourth inning, then CHS got back-to-back-to-back two-baggers in the fifth from Marenna Rebischke-Smith, Melia Welling and Chloe Wheeler to put a final stamp on things.
The Wolves, who have outscored their foes 37-14, had a sizzling on-base-percentage of .700 on the day.
Prescott (HR, 1B) and Caveness (two singles) led the hit attack, while Bailey, Laxton, Rebischke-Smith, Welling, Wheeler and Mackenzie Davis all collected a base-knock of their own.
The only Wolves not to collect a hit, Thora Iverson and Jenna Dickson, were still plenty busy.
The duo each reached base twice thanks to walks and Concrete errors, with Iverson coming around to score twice and Dickson stamping on home plate once.
