Ron Wright imparts some wisdom.

Coupeville’s big bashers were locked and loaded.

Both Sarah Wright and Veronica Crownover launched thunderous extra-base hits Wednesday, but it wasn’t quite enough to lift their South Central Sox softball squad to a victory.

Playing on a day that saw a rain delay, followed by a rainbow settling over the field, the mix of Central and South Whidbey sluggers were eventually nipped 13-10 by host Oak Harbor.

Trailing late in the game, the Sox turned to their Wolf rock-em-sock-em girls, with Wright lashing an RBI triple, followed by Crownover crunching an RBI double of her own.

That rally sent the Sox ahead, but, after the rain delay, a string of errors allowed Oak Harbor to rally for the win.

“There was a rainbow over the field, but no Skittles in store for the Sox today,” said softball mom Kelly Crownover.

“Do you think she’s still taking photos? I just feel like I’m being watched…”

One Whidbey, to rule you all.

A South Whidbey little league softball squad that features four stars from Coupeville on its roster came out of the gate strongly Saturday, rallying to beat South Skagit 13-12.

One of those Wolves, Ema Smith, even had the game-winning RBI for the White Sox.

Despite being bugged by an injury, Smith was electric once she got in the game, slapping out three hits.

Her CMS co-stars, who are traveling down Island this spring since Coupeville didn’t have enough players to field its own team, all made an impact as well.

Sarah Wright, playing the shock and awe card, launched a pair of home runs to highlight her four-hit day.

Not to be outdone, Tamika Nastali collected three hits, two stolen bases and a sensational running catch deep in the outfield, while Veronica Crownover cracked a pair of doubles and helped kick-start a triple play.

Wright, Crownover and Nastali played for an undefeated Central Whidbey softball squad that went to state last year, while Smith is relatively new to the Island.

With most of that Venom team moving up to high school this year, the younger Coupeville players became free agents before finding a new diamond home.
