Re-branding Dingers Keep Winning Ways

2016-06-01

Dingers 10, Wiffle Junction 0

After reaching base on a fielder's choice in the third, Doug Connelly capitalized on the chance to play spoiler to Aidan Welch's no-hit bid. One out away from losing by the mercy rule, Doug poked a single up the middle to stave off the goose egg. Nick Winn remains the only pitcher in the league to have thrown a no-hitter, with two in 2015. Welch also recorded nine total bases in five at-bats against Jeremy Martin, formerly of the Kalamazoo Wiffle League.

Dingers 14, Wiffle Junction 4

BJ Macasey belted a lead-off home run in the 2nd to give Wiffle Junction a 1-0 in Game 2, but the lead did not hold for long. Colin Fallon's three-run single highlighted a 7-run third inning to give the Dingers the lead. The gap was cut to 7-4 on a Jeremy Martin home run in the 4th, which translated two walks into runs. Despite allowing eleven walks, Jacob Pope scattered them too well to be seriously hurt by them, and he also mixed in eleven strikeouts. The combination of BJ Lemon and Danny Sizemore pitched well for the Junction, allowing only six walks, but the Dingers pounded out fifteen hits.
