First of all, we’d like to say we’re proud of all the teams for persevering through the freak wind on what was an otherwise hot and sexy Seattle day.

Second, I’m especially proud of Joe of Team Frog Design for holding down his bidness while his team traipsed slowly down to the field after gorging themselves on pizza. Frog Design! You were late! And you left Joe as the only green shirt anywhere in sight. For shame. Next time, the other teams get to hit whiffle balls at you.

Alright, onto Whiffle Ball Whirlwind Round TWO!

On Field One, we had the losers bracket, KEXP versus the Seattle Week-lings (just kidding, everyone’s a winner in whiffle ball!!). To be honest, while we enjoyed the game, we didn’t watch too closely as we were more impressed by the Week-lings team manager, one Debbie Porter, and her highly organized lineup clipboard. Very impressive, Debbie. You can manage our team anytime (if you know what I mean… what?).

Maneuvering KEXP’s 5-3 win over the Week-lings were Quilty with 2 no-hit innings and 5 strikeouts, Nate’s magical (yes, MAGICAL) pitching to get him out of a bases loaded jam, and Rachel’s game winning 2 RBIs. Congrats! However, it would be a shame not to recognize the Week-lings for their expert smack talk. “Hit the ball at their heads!” Simply awe-inspiring.

Over at Field Two, someone was going to lose their perfect record (but seriously, again, all winners!). But what was it going to take? Would Frogger’s Marieke Watson aka “The Dutch Wonder” save the day with her rookie optimism? Was fellow Frogger Aaron Kelly’s crawl to third base to make an out enough to inspire his team to victory? The answer is no. Turns out the Bumbershoot Hot Dogs unleashed their secret weapon. His name is Mike, and he hit for a triple, two doubles, and three singles. Final score: Hot Dogs over Frogs, 23-4 or 9-5 depending on who you ask.

MVP of the week: KEXP’s West for playing with a friggin’ broken vertebrae!

Check out the pics! Notice the color segregation! Let’s mix those colors, Seattle. Love, not Jesse Helms!
