“Listen, and understand. That terminator, Veronica Crownover, is out there. She can’t be bargained with. She can’t be reasoned with. She doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And she absolutely will not stop, ever, until every pitch you throw is crushed.” (John Fisken photos)

United until the end.
Bringing a successful close to the season, the South Central Sox little league softball squad, which combined South Whidbey and Coupeville sluggers, exited Saturday.
While the Sox, playing without Sarah Wright, who was with her select team, fell 17-12 to North Whidbey, the team’s other future Wolves all had strong games.
Tamika Nastali chased down a ball in center field for a nice snag, Ema Smith swung a hot stick and Veronica Crownover was the queen of the extra base hit.
The CHS freshman-to-be, who will be at the University of Washington next week to work with the Husky softball staff, jacked a double and a triple Saturday.
The three-bagger came dangerously close to being a homer, but Crownover was held up at third at the last moment.
As the Sox played out the season, wandering photo man John Fisken strolled by the field and clicked away.
