It’s been a sew-saw season for the Coupeville High School baseball team, and the trend continued over the weekend as the Wolves split a pair of games.

The Wolves, behind a no-hitter by Aaron Curtin, began Olympic League play with an 11-0 five-inning thumping of host Port Townsend Friday, March 27, and then fell 10-4 to perennial power Archbishop Murphy in a nonleague game the next day in Everett.

Coupeville (1-0, 2-3) now plays four straight non-conference games before returning to Olympic League action. First up is Lynden Christian (1-3), which visits Coupeville at 4 p.m. Tuesday, March 31.

The Wolves were in control from the outset against Port Townsend (0-1, 0-3), scoring five runs in the first inning.

A double by Cole Payne, a two-run double by Kyle Bodamer and a two-run single by Carson Risner in his varsity debut led the rally.

After his booming double in the first, Bodamer put down a squeeze bunt in the second inning, pushing home Josh Bayne from third and Payne from second.

Freshman Jake Hoagland, making his first start, singled in another run.

The Coupeville offense sputtered after the second.

“They went to a much slower pitcher, and we ended up with one more run over the next three innings while leaving the bases juiced twice,” coach Willie Smith said.

“So, while we got a lot of kids in, we left a few too many on the base paths.”

Curtin struck out nine of the 16 batters he faced. A lone walk ruined his chance for a perfect game, and the Redhawks managed only one hard-hit out.

“Overall, we came out very focused and executed what we needed to do on offense, though, as I said earlier, we needed to keep on it a bit more after the third,” Smith said. “But, we played at our level against a team that we were clearly better than, and, of course, Aaron was just dominant.”

Errors hurt Coupeville at Archbishop Murphy (5-1).

“C.J. (Smith) got the start and actually threw pretty well,” coach Smith said. “Not his sharpest because he left some balls up, but when he settled in and started mixing up his pitches, he got a lot of balls that we should have turned into outs but, instead, committed five errors on very routine plays that led to five of their runs.”

Aaron Trumbull pitched a scoreless sixth.

The Wildcat scored a run in the first, two in the second and five in the error-filled third.

Coupeville scored a run in the first inning and three in the seventh.

In the seventh, Josh Bayne walked and Cole Payne singled in front of a Curtin triple. Bodamer singled in Curtin.

Bodamer finished 3-for-4 and Curtin 2-for-4.

“What’s been very frustrating, and especially this game, is that we make great plays in the field … but can’t seem to make the routine plays,” Smith said.

The highlight-reel plays included a diving stop and throw to first by third baseman Curtin; a Bayne to Trumbull to Risner relay to nail a runner at the plate; and a grounder up the middle shortstop Hunter Smith ran down to force a runner at first.
