Chris Stewart off to San Diego

Wiffleball Furies rookie slugger Chris Stewart has recently returned to San Diego after his stay in Cowlitz County. While here, Chris joined the Wiffleball Furies and made friends with everybody in the league that played against him. He proved early on that he would be a dangerous hitter and at the time of his departure he was currently in second place in the homerun race. He also picked up the pitching aspect of the game pretty quickly and showed great control on the mound.
Thanks for all the good times Chris, you will be missed. And thanks also for the killer Carne Asada recipe. Hope to see you back at Jones Field soon.

Week 6 Player of the Week

Josh Philpott of the Portland Penguins is named the week 6 Player of the Week. In a two game series against the Couch St. Wizards, Josh got both wins on the mound while throwing seven innings, giving up five hits, no runs while walking three and striking out eight.
At the plate he went 9-17 with one bomb and 10 RBIs total. In the second game of the series, he drove in a new CCWA record 9 RBIs.
Congratulations Josh!

Rich Black throws second No-Hitter of the season

Rich Black of the Longview Colt .45's threw a no-hitter last night against Quiznos. He went all six innings, walked two and struck out sixteen. He had a perfect game going in to the fourth when Sergey Pisarchuk got a walk. Rich also hit a homerun in the second inning to help his team's cause.
Great job Rich!

Lance Sasser off the DL

In a surprise move last weekend, Salem Blazer team captain Lance Sasser came off of the Disabled List. It was thought that Lance would be lost for the whole season but made a comeback early.
In his first game back he hit his first homerun of the season. His mobility is still somewhat limited so Lance played catcher and was able to make some good plays.
It wasn't enough in the end though as the Wizards would sweep the Blazers in a two game series.

Week 5 Player of the Week

Ty Baker wins his second player of the week award this week. Ty's team, the Femme Fatales, split a series with the Longview Colt .45's. In the series Ty hit his first homerun of the season and followed it with two more (one of them being a grand slam). He also took the mound in both games and looked dominant like he has all season.
It's looking like Bakes is the front runner for the Northern Cy Young right now, and he should make the All-Star team with ease.
Great job Bakes!

Players of the Month

The Offensive Player, Pitcher and Rookie of the Month of April have been announced. You can check it out here.

Week 4 Player of the Week

Matt Miller of the Couch St. Wizards is named player of the week for week four. He had a monster series against the Portland Penguins that included three homeruns (one of which was a grand slam) and a pitching victory on the mound. His presence at the plate has been a huge reason why the Wizards are still undefeated.

Greatness signs with Brewers

In a surprise move yesterday, TJ McNeely agreed to play with the Lexington Brewers this season. He should play in his first game for them today against league rivals Jackmove.
He moved to Las Vegas last season and will only be available a couple of times a season, but his presence on the field had at least three teams bidding for him.
It looked like he was gonna rejoin the Pirates after leading them to a league title last year but instead signed with the Brewers. It's also rumored that Quiznos and the Colt .45's were also interested in signing him.
If the Brewers make it to the playoffs and TJ makes it back for them, it could be trouble for whoever has to face them.

Willie's first at-bat

Portland Penguins team captain Erik Williamson in his first CCWA at bat. He's up against Dan Hurley of the Couch St. Wizards. Hilarity ensues.

Mills goes off against Penguins

Matt Miller of the Couch St. Wizards hit three bombs yesterday in a doubleheader against the Portland Penguins. In the first game Mills hit a grand slam in the fifth inning to put the game out of reach for the Penguins. In game two he hit two homeruns and teammate Dan Hurley added one to keep the Wiz undefeated.
With his performance yesterday, Matt moves into second place on the HR list with four round trippers this season. He is right behind Ed Bert of the Laurelhurst Pirates who has six bombs. He passed Matt Jones of Jackmove who is currently at three homeruns. There is approximately seven other players with two each.
Way to go Mills!

Week 3 Co-Player of the Week

In week three, Ty Baker made his first start for the Femme Fatales against team Quiznos. Ty would go on to pitch the whole game, allowing one hit, six walks and striking out a new CCWA record 18 on the way to the victory. Every out his team recorded was by strikeout. It was a performance that may never get matched in CCWA play. In game two, with his team up by four, Ty came in and pitched the sixth inning allowing one walk and striking out three.
No pitcher has ever struck out 21 over seven innings and I doubt it will happen ever again. Great job Bakes!

Week 3 Co-Player of the Week

In week three Ed Bert went off for the Laurelhurst Pirates. In the first game against the Woodstock Unicorns, Ed went 5-9 at the plate with two homeruns and 5 RBIs. He also scored four times as the Pirates won 14-7.

In game two, Ed pitched four innings of no-hit ball, striking out four and walking one. At the plate he was 6-7 with seven RBIs and two homeruns. His second homerun was a walk-off grand slam that put the Pirates over the mercy rule barrier.

It was one of the most dominant performances ever in the CCWA.

Week 2 Player of the Week

Brian Eyer of the Lexington Brewers was the choice for week 2 player of the week. In the first game against the Wiffleball Furies, Brian was 5-6 at the plate with his first homerun of the season and six RBIs. He also scored six runs to lead his team past the Furies.

In game two Brian pitched all five innings, allowing 4 runs on 8 hits while striking out six. The Brewers won that game 14-4 in the fifth inning.

They are currently trailing the Longview Colt .45's in the standings and need Brian to be a solid pitcher all season. His success on the mound will translate directly to how many games this team wins.

Week 1 Player of the Week

In week one, Matt Jones led his team Jackmove to victory by striking out a league record 15. Jackmove beat division rival the Lexington Brewers in the first game before surrendering the second. Matt also hit a homerun in the first game to secure the win for his team. It was the first homerun of the young CCWA season.

If Jackmove is going to make a run this season, it's gonna start with their team captain. Great job Matt!

Lance Sasser out for the year

The Salem Blazers team captain, Lance Sasser, has informed the league that he will be on the Disabled List for the rest of the season. Lance tore the meniscus in his right knee and needs to have surgery to fix it.
His team picked up Jordan "JB" Briggs to fill their roster.
Below is a picture of Lance supporting his team against the Unicorns.

Wiffleball Fever!

If you are a CCWA player and you haven't signed up for the Player's Forum yet you need to do so immediately.

What's up with Quiznos?

So at first their reason was that team captain Garrett "Teabag" Booth was on vacation for ten days. But Teabag has been back and Team Quiznos still hasn't played their first game. I'm not sure if they'll have time to make up all of their games.

Wiffleball Furies upset Jackmove

Wiffleball Furies team captain Justin Johnson led his team to victory over Jackmove today in Northern Division play. The Furies won 8-7 in six innings behind Johnson's homerun and good pitching. It'll be interesting to see how Chris Stewart does in game two for the Furies.

Couch St. Wizards look tough

Today the Couch St. Wizards kicked off their season by sweeping the Woodstock Unicorns. The Wizards won both game by mercy rule.
In the first game Matt Miller and Dan Hurley each hit their first career CCWA homeruns in the three run 2nd inning. Matt also took the mound and pitched a wonderful game with the only major problem being Asher Boggioni hitting a one run shot off of him in the third inning. After that Cooke Harvey and Hurley came through in the third to finish the 'Corns off.
In game two Dan Hurley took the mound and threw a three hit shutout while his team won 10-0 in four innings.
Tomorrow the Woodstock Unicorns take on the Laurelhurst Pirates in what should be a great series.

Ty Baker joins Femme Fatales

In a surprise move yesterday, Ty Baker joined the Femme Fatales. Bakes has got a strong baseball & softball background and could be just what the Femmes need to lead them into contention for a playoff spot. It is unknown how much Ty will be able to play but when he's out on the field his play will help his team.
