Wiffle World Series - Game 1

We've been fortunate all year with good summer weather that extended into the third weekend of October. But when the WWW (Wiffle World Series) came around, fall was in full force. Late fall at that.

38 degrees, overcast. The lights were on at Nance Bradds Field.

Believe it or not this picture is showing you that the lights were on.

Tense wiffle ensued despite the cold. The visiting Andy-Bob-Tim trio took an early 4-0 lead, and then the home-standing Adrian-Matt-Peter slowly chipped away.

A little too slowly, as it turned out, as the nine-inning game ended with the tying aboard in the bottom of the ninth. Bob's farting shoes nearly blew the save but did not.

It was the kind of day where pitches floating through the strike zone were topped for weak grounders. With runner on.  The kind of day where every parent at DLM lets their kid push the shopping cart. In other words: frustrating.

Andy, Bob, Tim - 4 runs, 14 hits
Adrian, Matt, Peter - 3 runs, 19 hits
