Game notes from April 7 - A week late but still fresh like matzo

Some called it the first day of Passover, others Holy Saturday, and still others called it game day.  A turn out of seven, along with a strong sun made for a great morning of wiffle.  The seven included two excellent one-timers: Matt's in laws from Binghamton, Dan and his son, Alex. You'll find these Millers ensconced at the TOP of the stats tables as Dan's 9-for-13 batting and Alex's scoreless 2 IP give them league leading stats. They've set a high bar.

More intriguing was true rookie of the year candidate Fred Kirchner, who comes with the ready made nickname: The Poet. 5-for-13 at the plate was a swell showing for a first timer. Fred had the assignment of protecting a two-run lead in the top of the eighth.  This turned out to be an unenviable task as he surrendered the tying runs and then loaded the bases to face... The Artist.

Artist vs. Poet. Paint vs. Words. It was a confrontation for the ages that we saw. Glen became the second wiffler ever to put a foul ball through the hoop for a granny.

That shot put the visitors up four and gave Fred the Blown save and the Loss - a combo I like to call:

"The Full Papelbon."

Stats closed out the game with a 1 hit, no run bottom of the eighth and it was over.

On the day, only the Whippersnapper Alex and Kurt avoided giving up any runs. Alex also hit for the cycle, and was seemingly all over the outfield hauling in fly outs.  Ah, youth.

Glen, Kurt, Matt - 20

Alex, Dan, Fred, Peter - 16
