The Coupeville fastpitch team put up a battle but lost 8-5 at Cedarcrest Monday, May 10.

The Wolves held a 5-3 lead going into the bottom of the fourth inning, but Cedarcrest (10-6, 10-7) rallied for four runs and held on for the win.

Coupeville (0-15, 1-16) played a strong defensive game and committed just three errors. Errors have sabotaged the Wolves all season.

Coach Denny Zylstra said, "It was a huge improvement. We were competitive with them."

Taylor Lawson slugged two doubles, Grace LaPoint a triple and Katie Smith two singles to lead the offense.
