The schedule, she keeps on changing.

Saturday’s Coupeville High School varsity baseball game against Concrete started as a road affair, then was bumped to being a home tilt due to poor weather forecasts.

Now, the hardball bout is just off the schedule, as the Lions say they don’t have enough eligible players to make the trip to Whidbey.

The Northwest 2B/1B League game will likely be rescheduled at some point, since it’s a conference rumble.

When that might be is up in the air with most of the guys who make the schedules out of the office for spring break at the moment.

Meanwhile, Coupeville’s softball game Saturday against Concrete, also bumped from a road trip to a home stand, is still on — as of 2:15 PM Friday.

Keep an eye on this space, though. Things still might change.

Ben Etzell’s back at it again, with the wins.

The Coupeville High School grad, now a sophomore pitcher at Saint John’s University in Minnesota, earned his first victory of the season Saturday.

Making the start for the Johnnies against Concordia-Wisconsin in Tucson, Arizona, Etzell went four innings, giving up six runs on eight hits and two strikeouts in a 10-7 win.

It was his second appearance on the mound for Saint John’s (3-3) this season, following a relief appearance against the University of Jamestown.

With the victory against Concordia, Etzell is 2-0 with two saves lifetime in college ball. He notched a 2.71 ERA as a freshman.

The former Cascade Conference MVP is swinging an active bat, as well, this season.

Etzell is 4-11 (.364) at the plate, with three runs, three RBI, a double and two walks.

In the field, he has an .875 fielding percentage, with three assists.

Saint John’s returns to action with a road trip to Ft. Myers, Florida over Spring Break (Mar. 20-25), where the Johnnies will play 10 games.

When he’s not playing baseball, Etzell is pursuing a degree in Elementary Education at the school that dad Mike, a CHS baseball coach, graduated from in 1988.
