Thanks to the Hoppes for having us over for the tournament, as well as compiling all the numbers and putting the stat sheets together. The tournament batting AVG was .215 to help you measure where you fit in.
downriver wiffle is a fast-pitch, base running wiffleball association in southeast Michigan that hosts a handful of tournaments during the summer months. Our pitchers' mound is set 45' from the strike zone (30" high x 22" wide) inside a 5' radius pitchers' poison circle for force outs. 3 defenders play behind the pitcher and can record outs by tagging a base or runner, catching the ball in the air, throwing to the pitchers' poison, or pegging a runner between 3rd and home. Base paths are 45' to every base. We use a 5-ball, 2-strike count to keep batters engaged and swinging in an attempt to prevent the ability to wait for an easy, "hitter's pitch" and the slow-pitch softball hitting derby scenarios that would ensue. We like our game as much like baseball as we can make it. So, we skew our rules accordingly. We like good pitching. We like exciting plays, small-ball, manufacturing and earning your runs, and spectacular defensive effort. We still get our fair share of light-tower bombs, and everyone loves that. For more detail about how we play our brand of wiffleball get in touch with us on Facebook, which we use prominently for releasing info on upcoming events, or send us an e-mail and we will be more than happy to talk with you about any and every question you might have.
