Skullcrushers Head to York: Circle City’s Best Chase UWiff Glory

Circle City Wiffle is back on the national stage this weekend as five of its top players make the trip to York, Pennsylvania, to compete in the United Wiffle®Ball World Championship Tournament. The Skullcrushers have already cemented their place in Wiffle history with three NWLA Tournament championships (back to back, 3 in 4 years), and now they turn their focus to a different crown: a United Wiffle Championship.

A Team Built for October

The roster includes some of the biggest names in Circle City: Myc Witty and Brendan Dudas from the Short Shorts, Will Smithey of the Moonshots, Dylan Jones of the Hounds, and Reid Werner from the 8 Balls. Together, they’ll represent Circle City Wiffle against a stacked field of 40 elite squads, with players flying in from across the country and even Japan.

A History of Close Calls

Despite their NWLA dominance with the yellow bat, the Skullcrushers have yet to break through at UWiff. The results tell the story:
    •    2024: 9th place
    •    2023: 11th place
    •    2022: 5th place
    •    2021: 41st place (😬)

Each year, they’ve clawed closer to the top, but the elusive UWiff title has remained just out of reach. For a group so accustomed to tournament success, York has become the white whale.

What’s at Stake

UWiff has grown into the sport’s crown jewel since its founding in 2020. Hosted at WellSpan Park, home of the York Revolution, the event attracts over 200 players from 25+ states. With the inclusion of Japan’s Saitama Wiffle Tigers and partnerships with MLW’s 17U National Championship, UWiff has elevated itself from national bragging rights to true world championship status.

For the Skullcrushers, this isn’t just another road trip. It’s a chance to prove that their NWLA success can translate onto the game’s biggest fast-pitch stage.

The Outlook

The bats are live, the arms are ready, and the Skullcrushers know the window is open. With their experience, depth, and recent success, the pieces are there for a deep run.

The question now: Can the Skullcrushers finally conquer UWiff?

They open up tourney play this morning at 8 AM EST. 

Games will be live streamed on the CCW Twitch channel!
