Wiffie All-Star Saturday!

The OW&AC All Stars took to the field this Saturday, with photog Brian Kollig also in attendance. Look for dramatic action shots from him later.

On a day where the Visiting team won 12 to nothing, and Laura Hume managed to work her ERA to below 100 (now 85.91), the clear All Star MVP was...
Brent Mackintosh - 2011 All Star MVP
Brent Mackintosh is the Cubs' sole representative in the game. Brent's consistent 10-for-15 hitting (9 singles, 1 double) with 4 RBI was unmatched by any other wifflers on the day.  And there was nothing wrong with his pitching, either. 2 IP, 2 hits allowed, no runs and a strikeout. Brent lowered his season ERA to 28.35.

On both sides there was all-star caliber defense. A lot of running down fly balls, particularly Dave's (R-OH) fly balls hit to Stats.

Final ACTUAL Score: 12-0
As has come to be expected for any team that includes Kurt Mosser (who loves the stats, but refuses to take a turn on the scoresheet, or even to chalk his own RBI) the scoresheet and the scoreboard were incomplete for the Visitors.  Several RBI were not credited on the sheet or on the pavement, but ARE most certainly reflected in the stats.

BRENT, Dave, Kurt - 12
Glen, Laura, Matt, Peter - 0

W: Eldridge
