Welcome Back Ry-Rod

Provo - After starting the season with mediocre results, Ryan Johnson, who goes by the wiffle ball name of "Ry-Rod", had a break out game and lead his team to a 17-14 victory on Wednesday night at Edgemont Stadium. He hit 7 of 8 with one walk, two of those hits being home runs. "I ate a lot of turkey!" Johnson exclaimed after hitting his second home run of the night.
The highlight for Ry-Rod came after his fiancee hit a solo shot right after one of his home run, making it back to back home runs for the team.
"It was the Angel's shirt. I did it for Vlady," Bekah said. She went on to have three more hits during the game.

Ry-rod is the first player to hit for the cycle since Emmett did it back in the season opener. There could have been a little controversy as it appeared Ry-Rod missed first base by a foot or two on his way to a triple. "Hey, you snooze, you lose," he said in reference to the other teams neglect to watch his base running. "And when you are up against me, you lose BIG."

Ry-Rod had help from teammates Ricks, Emmett, and Donkin. Ricks is another that had a break out game hitting 5 of 6 and drawing two walks, as he also pitched a couple of stellar innings.
"Wheewwww! Yeeaaaaa! That's what I'm talking about baby, yaaa!" Ricks exclaimed when asked about the game.
Emmett, looking more and more like a power hitter each game, did not hit for his average but was able to drive in five runs on two homers. He would add a double and a pair of walks to end 3 for 6 on the night.

The game was preceded by Fairbank's weekly gathering of friends to drink some ginger ale and eat some cheese and crackers.
A new edition this week was the dill dipping sauce.
"That sauce is so dank bro," Bradshaw said with a mouthful. This week's party almost got out of hand when several of the players gathered around the piano to sing Christmas songs.
"You'll notice I'm not in the picture," Bradshaw continued, trying his best to protect his manhood. "I'm a wiffleball player!"

Yes you are Bradshaw, now leading in batting average and continuing your dominance in the long ball.

Would somebody please take Jaynes off of the league leaders! He's only played in one game. League leaders is for the committed wiffleball players!

By the way great game Ryan. Good to see you comin around. I wonder who his second vote was from?

I decided to leave Jaynes on for at least one more week. If he pulls another no show like he did last night, he won't qualify for league leaders.
