WIFFLEPALOOZA RECAPS, AND MAJOR STORIES
This picture here, springs one of the first stories of 2009 Wifflepalooza. Naturally, the first game of the tournament began with a bang, as Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch, scored 11 runs in 4 innings. Many of the tournaments firsts occured in this game, including the first no-hitter, and grand slam, hit by Troy Day (above). Tr.Day had 5 rbi in this game, however ended the tournament with just 6 total.
COMEBACK KIDS
Despite the controversial name, which unfortunately did not make the newspaper, the Homosexual Antelopes were absolutely beat down in all 3 regular tournament games. However, thanks to some "ejections", early departures, and a clutch 3-run last inning Home-Run by Lee Timmons, the Antelopes made it to the Championship Game, where they made a game of it into the 3rd inning.
ALL-PRO
Bob Galbiati came through in a way that did not relate to wiffleball at all. With his mega-phone, iPod, truck, and Chris Munoz's speakers, Bob gave the comic relief that fueled the first 6 games of the day. Big thanks to Bob. and get the freakin bears off the field!!!
ACE OF the CLUB
Despite struggling during the later games of the tournament, Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch Pitcher Nino Bonano (above) not only threw a no-hitter in the tournament's first game, but posted a 3.01 ERA, with a 2-1 record, and 12 strikeouts on his way to winning the tournaments Cy Young Award, just edging out the Flapacamingos Jake Lambert
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. This occurance sparked much controversy, as after Rocco Lombardo (pictured left) of the Buffalo Wild Wings, did the same thing an inning later, the rule that everytime it happened following that team would be penalized 5 runs was inacted. Overall it occured 4 times during the day.
Unfortunately, no photographers were on hand for the later part of the day and the championship. However, Jake Lambert (pictured left), along with Al Etter, Matt Bocchese, Ryan Hutchings, Tim Mills, Billy Walsh, and Matt Lewis, led the FLAPACAMINGOS to their first WIFFLEPALOOZA CHAMPIONSHIP. The team went 4-1 in the tournament, with the only loss being to the Buffalo Wild Wings, in a controversial 5-2 decision. Al Etter was the championship game MVP, hitting a grand slam in the 3rd inning to virtually seal the deal. He also threw a complete game, 5 hitter, striking out 5.
