Wiffle Notes - April 4 - a shot rang out in the nine-nine tie!

Weekday evening wiffle made its' first appearance for 2012 in April - the earliest it has ever come. Experts assert that this phenomenon is consistent with the basic predictions of the IPCC and greenhouse warming/climate change theory. The game also provided early season appearances for Eric "The Bandit" Zamonski and Tim "Boog" Baker.

Of course the climate always changes when Zamonski is on the scene, but the fact is Eric is maturing as a ball player. He was the only member of his team not to allow a run this night. Tim Baker, in contrast, was the only member of his team to allow runs this evening. After Dave and Kurt's scoreless efforts, Tim took the ball in the third, his team leading 7-0. It was a long half inning for the home team: Tim surrendered 12 hits, though only two of them weren't singles. When his team got back to the dugout, they were down 9-7.

More disheartening was that the bottom of that third was when Zamonski threw his turn on the mound and put up a shutdown inning (zero runs).

Tim would prove the semi-hero in the end, though.  With the skies darkening, the home-boys batted in the bottom of the fifth - the last inning - against da Commish.  In what has become an early season trend, Tim drove in a run with an RBI ground out, to make it 9-8.  Two batters and one out later, Tim was up again and produced the tying run with a solid double! 9-9!

Peter struck out Dave ending the game with Tim's ghost stranded at second base.

Eric, Matt, Peter - 9
Dave, Kurt, Tim - 9
