Distilled Down To Its Wiffly Essence


There's a certain purity to a game of 3-on-3 Wiffleball, the kind that was seen today as two very well-matched trios faced off on a damp Nance Bradds field.  Peter's controlled eephus pitching was remarkably baffling, only allowing a few runs.  Which looked like alot like they'd hold for the win against the visiting Vans who just couldn't bring 'em across all day.  That is, until Andy found his footing and smashed two consecutive longballs to vault his team into the lead.  The Halens then mounted a valiant bottom of the 9th comeback charge but fell one run shy as the final out was made.  Shout out to J D for going 10 for 14 today.  

Note:  the Heroes of Strandathoning™ pre-game Vegas line (which closed betting somewhere in the third inning for whatever reason) on Team AEP predicted them to finish with 17 hits and no runs.  While they ended up with 4 runs, be it hereby noted that they did indeed end up with exactly 17 hits!  Which is oddly prescient.  Odder still, the other team also ended up with 17 hits.  Apparently 17 was just today's magic number.

Andy, Eric, Peter = 4 runs, 17 hits, 2 dongs
J D, Jeff, Zack = 3 runs, 17 hits
