CCW Weekly wiff - June 9

Opening Week ends with Wiffle-filled Sunday
 
All 8 teams were in action Sunday at the Dirtyard for the Opening Week round robin tournament.
 
The Moonshots and Short Shorts both went 3-0 to collect their respective division titles. Both of the 2019 World Series participants, the 8 Balls and Yakkers, struggled en route to a 1-2 record on the day.
 
The teams displayed the much-improved competitive depth of the 2020 CCW field, and the packed standings reflect that.

Player of the Week: Will Smithey
 
The Moonshots (3-0) finished Sunday looking down at the rest of CCW in the standings, and a large part of that can be credited to Smithey’s contribution from the plate and mound.
 
The 2019 Rookie of the Year turned in a 2-0 pitching record, striking out 14 hitters and allowing only 4 runs. At the plate, Smithey hit .786 with 4 HR and 10 RBI, including a walk-off grand slam against the Yakkers.

Josh Hart releases hilarious season preview article

Although he lives 2 hours away and knows less about CCW now than he ever has, Hart has continued the tradition of writing the annual CCW preview article.

The article acts more as a CCW roast than a substantial preview, and nobody is safe from being roasted!
