So, the season might not be over just yet.

The Coupeville Babe Ruth baseball squad, which finished 2nd at the state tournament, has been offered a chance to advance to regionals after Columbia Basin bowed out.

The state champs, who edged the Wolves 2-1 in a best-of-three series, won’t have enough players available to make the trip to Portland, Oregon for the July 23-28 event.

The winner at regionals advances to the World Series in Longview, WA Aug. 10-27.

With Columbia Basin down, Coupeville, which posted a 17-2 record this season, is next team up, provided it can finance the trip.

Parents and coaches are scrambling, with just a couple of days to raise funds to cover travel expenses, and launched a GoFundMe Tuesday night after the news broke.

Bundy and his teammates on the North West Nationals have played in Oregon before, but this will be their first time taking the field in front of
college coaches scouting for prospective players.

Continually working on his game, the Wolf speedster also attended a soccer camp at the University of Washington recently. Seeing a different level of competition is always helpful as you hone your own skills.

“It was a very high level of soccer and fast paced game, a lot of fun,” Bundy said. “And the coaching staff was very helpful and informative.”
