Just Shy

With the wind blowing out, today's wiffle contest was a slugfest. There were six homers struck and five triples smashed out of a total of 47 hits.

The final score of 15-11 (for the home team) was just shy of looking like a football (American) score. The whole affair was accomplished in just six and one half innings, taking just shy of 2 hours.

J.D. was just a double shy of the cycle when one of his five singles fell just shy of the doubles line. His final line of 8-for-11 with 7 RBI will come up just shy of true consolation. It is, after all, all about the stats.

Monroe was just a double shy of the cycle, too. Matt was just a triple shy of the cycle. Three cycles in a single game would have been colossal, but alas a day with so much potential, was just shy of history.

Friend-of-Dewey Bob B. slugged 3 homers and drove in 8 in a losing cause, but now leads the league in Dingers and RBI.

Bob B., Dewey, Monroe, Zach - 11 runs, 22 hits
Adrian, JD, Matt, Peter - 15 runs, 25 hits

HR: Bob 3 (3), Monroe (1), JD (1), Matt (1)
