Her bat remains lively; her team remains deadly.

Coupeville grad Madison McMillan delivered another strong performance Wednesday, helping her Edmonds College softball team sweep yet another doubleheader.

Raining down hits from every direction, the Tritons clobbered visiting Highline 28-9 and 17-2 to improve to 10-0 in conference play, 18-1 overall.

Edmonds has won 18 straight after losing to Mt. Hood in the season opener back on Feb. 20.

McMillan played a big presence in the opener of Wednesday’s twin-bill, bashing a pair of doubles, scoring twice, walking once, and picking up an RBI.

The former Wolf ace is hitting .440 this season, fourth-best on the team.

She and her teammates are off for a bit, returning to action Wednesday, Apr. 1 with a home doubleheader against Everett.

Diamond squads plan Cancer Awareness day

They want to strike out a deadly disease.

The Coupeville High School softball and baseball teams are uniting Saturday, Apr. 4 to stage fundraisers for the WhidbeyHealth Foundation Cancer Center.

The event, the fourth annual one for the sluggers, is tied to home games against non-conference foe East Jefferson.

Wolf baseball players will be wearing t-shirts provided by the foundation, with softball players sporting special socks highlighting different forms of cancer.

Both teams will be selling t-shirts, featuring the logo seen below:

On the back of the t-shirts, it will say, “I wear this shirt for,” and fabric markers will be offered to fans at the games to write names on the back of their shirts.

If you’re not able to make it to the event in person, you can still donate, as shown on this poster:

Across the previous three seasons, the CHS softball squad has raised nearly $3,600 in support of cancer care.

“We would like to thank the Coupeville softball and baseball players, coaches, and supporters for their continued dedication to Coupeville vs. Cancer,” said the WhidbeyHealth Foundation in a statement.

“Your efforts go far beyond the field, making a meaningful difference for patients receiving care in our community. We are truly thankful for your commitment and generosity.”

Piling up stats, piling up wins

Her bat still has its bark.

Coupeville grad Madison McMillan tallied three more RBI’s Sunday and scored a run, helping her Edmonds College softball squad keep its win streak alive.

Sweeping visiting Skagit Valley College 22-1 and 13-4 in a doubleheader, the Tritons get to 16-1 on the season as they head towards the halfway mark of the schedule.

Edmonds, which is 9-1 at home and 7-0 on the road, has 24 regular season games left, with a home twin-bill against Highline College set for this coming Wednesday, Mar. 25.

McMillan, a freshman third baseman, has seen action in 12 games, racking up a .391 batting average while hitting two home runs and 13 RBIs.

She has nine hits, eight runs, and three walks, as well.

The former Wolf ace, best known for crushing home runs which were later found down the street in the Prairie Center parking lot, was a three-sport star and stellar student during her CHS days.

She was a key member of Wolf volleyball, basketball, and softball teams, helping lead the spikers and sluggers to glory at the state tourney.

Well, let’s try this again.

Wet weather across Washington state washed away most scheduled games this past week, limiting the number of wins and losses posted by Northwest 2B/1B League teams.

But hope burns eternal, so Coupeville and its conference counterparts head into a new week hoping on-field action will replace thumb twiddling.

The Wolf girls’ tennis squad is slated to host Friday Harbor Tuesday, with baseball and softball set for home-and-away clashes with the same rival.

The CHS diamond squads host Wednesday, before bouncing between islands Thursday on a potential road trip.

Finally, Saturday will see the Coupeville track and field squad, or part of it at least, head off to the Stanwood Frosh/Soph Invitational.

As the Wolves plow into another week, here’s where things stand through Mar. 22:

 

Northwest League baseball:

School League Overall
Concrete 0-0 0-0
Coupeville 0-0 1-1
Darrington 0-0 0-1
Friday Harbor 0-0 1-0
La Conner 0-0 0-1
MV Christian 0-0 1-0
Orcas Island 0-0 1-1

 

Northwest League girls’ tennis:

School League Overall
Coupeville 0-0 0-1
Friday Harbor 0-0 0-0

 

Northwest League softball:

School League Overall
Orcas Island 1-0 1-1
Concrete 0-0 0-0
Coupeville 0-0 3-0
Friday Harbor 0-0 1-1
La Conner 0-0 0-0
Darrington 0-1 1-1

The Wolves are busy on the next level.

Coupeville grads Tate Wyman and Madison McMillan are both spending a chunk of their weekend playing college sports and excelling while doing it.

Wyman, a junior at Oregon Tech, competed in the Pacific Northwest Invite in Corvallis, Oregon Friday and Saturday, helping his team kick off the outdoor track and field season.

Ayden and Devon’s big bro set a PR in the 200, hitting the tape in 22.86 seconds, while soaring 20 feet, 2.50 inches in the long jump, and clocking a 16.17 in the 110 hurdles.

Meanwhile, McMillan, a freshman at Edmonds College, picked up two hits and scored twice Saturday as the Tritons softball team swept a doubleheader from visiting Douglas College.

Edmonds claimed the opener 8-0, then won the nightcap 11-1 in a game mercy-ruled after five innings.

McMillan and Co. are 14-1 on the season and will carry a 14-game winning streak into action Sunday, when they host Skagit Valley College in another twin-bill.
