Wiffle - "Like Rugby Without the Violent Blows"

"The Artist" blows a game on a rainy Saturday and then carries his "beefy" teammates to victory on a windy Sunday.

In a prolonged fit of hardheadedness, the five wifflers who showed up in a drizzling rain on Saturday morning kept playing because (seriously) "It's gonna clear up." Reality was it rained straight through to about 11 PM. How dumb are we? Did no one even look at a smart phone?

Glen's team, the visitors, took an early lead of 5-0, plating one off Peter and four, count 'em four off Kurt. The home boys got an early run off Matt but failed to score off Brent (!), but did chip away until the final inning with Glen on the bump.

Glen allowed five consecutive singles and then induced a grounder that he, unwisely, tried to turn into a double play.  His.. failure... allowed the winning run to score. Thus did Glen achieve The Full Papelbon - blown save and the loss.

Glen, Brent, Matt - 5
Kurt, Peter - 6

But that was Saturday. Sunday was Sunday.

With the good tunes spinning, the barbecue beef and turkey carving, and the beer flowing Saturday night chez Kurt, five wifflers decided to play again on Sunday morning. I was a fool to agree to this.

Commish set the teams (I kid you not) as beefy vs. lean.  Glen, it must be said, was placed on the beefy team, and carried his stout team mates to victory.  Glen had the best game he's ever had since adopting the under hand pitching regime.  Likely the best game he'll EVER have. How's this for a line:

5-for-12, 2 2B, 3B, HR (hit for cycle), drove in 7 of his team's 8 runs.

Pretty good, eh? But that's not all. How about this:

2 IP, 4H (all doubles), 1 K, 0 runs.

I repeat: 0 runs allowed. By Glen!

It was that kind of day for Kurt, Fred and Matt.

Glen, Dave, Pete (beefy) - 8
Fred, Kurt, Matt (lean) - 1

Final score photos are stuck on my dead-battery phone. I know you're very disappointed.
