This looks like an all around fun time. Great wiffle competition, great field setup, good food, etc. Not to mention some pretty cute girls in there. Nice work guys. We’re a little over a 10 hour drive from Hilliard, OH, but we’re contemplating making the drive for the next tournament. Keep us posted.

Medway, Mass October 10th… Semi Final Games
Another fantastic day of wiffle took place Oct. 10th in Medway, MA. 16 Teams showed up…1 team left with a trophy. As usual the field was filled with talent, and there were no easy roads towards victory. Even the powerhouses of DOOM, Absolute Gunners, and Blue Razrs fell short this time. Through hours of competition, four teams remained: DOOM, Absolute Gunners, Krusty’s Kids, and Boondock Saints. While the Absolute Gunners battled for a one-run, hard faught semi-final win over the Boondock Saints, DOOM was being shut out by Krusty’s Kids. The final matchup was the Absolute Gunners v.s. Krusty’s Kids. Although pitcher Matt McHugh held Krusty’s to just one run in the finals, it wasn’t enough as Nick Amato held the Gunners to zero runs and led his team to a 1st place title. Congratulations to Krusty’s Kids, Absolute Gunners, DOOM, and Boondock Saints for their wonderful performances. Thank you to all the teams for their support and making another great BLWB tournament.

Sandlot Wiffle
(Brian Burnell, NECN: Greenwich, CT) - It’s a wiffle ball field that’s become a political football in Greenwich, Connecticut. A group of teenagers decided to turn a vacant lot into their own version of Fenway Park. They scrounged plywood, bought paint, erected outfield walls, including their own version of the green monster, and shouted “play ball”.
Tim Bellantoni, Greenwich CT: “Our field is our field. I mean, anyone is welcome to play but just the best in my eyes.”
That’s the problem. A lot of people wanted to play. Things started to get out of hand.
This is very bucolic, very Norman Rockwell. But not always and not if you live in one of the houses who’s backyards border onto this whiffle ball field. Picture this. Last Sunday these kids tell me that had between 40 and 50 people here playing wiffle ball. That’s a little different than a couple of kids knocking it around.
Those neighbors have complained to the town so there is something of a split in Greenwich with some people siding with the homeowners and their right to enjoy their property and others siding with the kids and saying “let ‘em play”. In the middle is selectwoman Lin Lavery who says no one is saying these are bad kids.
Lin Lavery, Greenwich CT Selectwoman: I’ve gone over and met some of the kids and they’re great kids. They took leadership. They went off and did something creative. They’ve gone into the woods and created something and they’re to be applauded
