Boog is Back!

Wednesday Night Wiffle Hosts the Return of Tim Baker to the Asphalt


It was with smiles all around that Kurt, Han-Soo, Glen and Matt welcomed Tim's 2011 wiffle debut on Wednesday, June 15 - the first Wiffie Wednesday of the season. For Tim, Wednesday is a Friday - the end of the work week and no one was happier to be gripping plastic than he.


Tim even volunteered to take the mound in the top of the first, with Glen and Kurt patrolling his outfield, and struck out Matt for his first out of the season. It went less smoothly from there. Han-Soo continued his rat-a-tat-tat hitting with the first of his ten (for 19) hits on the day, a single. This was followed by a single from Matt, and then Han-Soo got the first of what would end up as six fly outs into the hands of Kurt. Two down. Three straight hits (double, single, single) would plate two runs and give the Visitors a 2-0 lead after one-half.

Han-Soo and Stats would go on to score in each of the first four innings. 1 off Glen in the 2nd. 2 off Kurt in the 3rd courtesy of a soaring home run by Han-Soo. And then 5 off Tim again in the 4th highlighted by Stats' second homer of the season, his first Grand Slam (a low liner that flew like a Frisbee past the homer line). Stats' 11-for-20 hitting including hitting for the cycle, garnering 7 RBI was the line of the night.

In the bottom of the fourth, Glen mustered the first and fourth of four consecutive singles to end the shutout, driving in the Home team's first run. After then pitching a scoreless top of the fifth, he promptly declared "moral victory."

Alas, the homers' first run was their last and this six-inning affair ended with a 10-1 win for the visitors.

Han-Soo, Matt - 10
Glen, Kurt, Tim - 1

Notes:
1. Kurt actually had the top batting average for the night, going 6-for-10.  Tim had a fine return with the bat: 4-for-10.

The hit lines were an utter disgrace!
