Hey, they played almost two innings this time. That’s a start.
After having three of its first four games rained out, the Coupeville High School softball squad actually made it to Sultan Wednesday, took the field, scored some runs, worked a few kinks out and … then it started raining again.
The game was called with Sultan holding a 4-3 lead in the bottom of the second, and the two squads will pick up where they left off the next time they face.
Most likely, the game would be finished as the first half of a doubleheader April 14, when Coupeville is set to return to Sultan. The schools are scheduled to play three game this season, with the Turks coming to the Island May 5.
With the game put on hold, the Wolves remain a perfect 1-0. They are scheduled to host their next three games, starting with Cedarcrest Thursday at 4 PM.
In its brief return to the diamond, Coupeville played strongly.
Breeanna Messner crunched a double, sliding in safe even after slipping on the wet infield dirt after rounding first.
Madeline Strasburg snagged a fly ball in center, as well, then spun and airmailed a great throw to Jae LeVine at second, catching a straying Turk runner for a double play.
