Let us take time now to note the achievement that is Han-Soo Ha's 2011 wiffle season. Keep in mind that Han-Soo entered the year with a bum pitching shoulder, and there was debate amongst the factions of the Oakwood Wiffle and Ale Club as to how and whether he may be used as a .. designated hitter.
But play he has, hitting and pitching. In fact, Han-Soo is fourth in the league in innings pitched with 20. Those who have faced him this season realize that the blazing stuff he had last year is no more. And the ERA above 4 is testament to that. But with regular effort, and a studious attention to craft, Han-Soo is mastering his new submarine pitching motion. And when he gets that release point mastered - watch out. He'll be back to his un-hittable ways.
And the most remarkable fact about this comeback from the wiffle brink, is that all the while he has been working on this new pitch he has been batting over .500 all year - through 14 games.
In his own words, "What a wonderful day! I improved my ERA and reduced batting AVG. However I can't achieve these again, because I grow familiar with my new pitching." Inspiring.
In Wednesday Night Wiffle, Han-Soo pitched 2 more innings, and surrendered three runs. Batting just 3-for-9 (with 2 RBI) lowered his season's batting average to exactly .500 (55-for-110). His were two of his team's 3 runs scored on the night.
That was not enough to counter the 8 scored by the combination of Peter, Kurt and a late arriving Stats, including 2 from Kurt's longball in the third. Kurt now joins the three-homer logjam with Glen and Kim. Peter contributed 4 RBI with 10-for-15 hitting, including a double.
Kurt, Peter, Matt - 8
Tim, Eric, Han-Soo - 3
