The teams will continue the best-of-three series at 6 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday (if necessary).

Regardless of the outcome, both teams will advance to the state tournament. The district tournament is being held to determine seeding into the state playoffs.

All three of Coupeville’s runs came in the third inning with the help of walks to Daniel Olson, George Dailey and Cody Roberts and singles by Caleb Meyer and Ulrik Wells.

Dailey finished with two singles, and Scott Hilborn, Meyer and Wells had one each.
